Re: 10NL: getting paid off
If you are having trouble getting paid off, have a look at the hands you are not playing. I've found that if I have trouble getting paid off, I can get away with stealing a few pots, especially from late position. Get caught firing three barrels empty and watch how easily you stack your opponent with TPTK or two pair on your first hand above.
Obviously, you need to be aware of your image, but if you're perceived as a nit, rob them blind until they wise up. When they they realize you're a 'bluffer', show up with a big hand (and don't be afraid to call down a little lighter than you might like) and watch them gift-wrap their stack for you.
