Losing to substandard hands

[Dozer60]

I am sure this question has been addressed before. Why is it that I play high starting hands, 1st position group 1&2, middle add 3-5, and late add 5-7 sometimes 8. Refering to groups from hold'em for advanced players. These groups are being beaten my maniacs playing what I throw away. This seems to happen more often than not. Reading the article by Ray Zee, why it happens to me, he states to combine the two styles. Does anyone have good groups to do this ? Trying to improve my game. mark
