Default Re: Need advice on poker

I have just started to play, around six months ago myself and play low limit 2 or 5 dollar sit and go mtt's (30 seats) Again like yourself feel that the more I read or try to learn about the game trhe harder I find it two win.

I would estimate that I place in the money Around 30% of the time. I usually place in the money when I have the patience to play a tight game, (in terms of starting requirements I was helped particularly by harrington Vol 1, you have probably read already but if not this is helpful)

If feel that the best advice for these games is that you have to play the opposite of the table, ie if loose play tight, and the tighter the game gets the looser you can get. Playing tight in the context of smaller stakes and presumably smaller skill games is that you give yourself feweer and easier decisons to make, particularly post flop.
AS such you generate an edge over other players firstly becuase you will have alower propensity to make mistakes and seconldy other players are activley putting themselves into situations wher they have higher propensity to make mistakes. AS such you enter fewer pots but build a bigger stack at lower risk by getting paid full value for solid hands. As games progress and the quality of player is higher you can be more creative as people will actually fold hands to you, and are less likely to over bet pots and make it to expensive to play marginal hands.
Can any one help me progress now, as if i move up a level I get creamed.
