"7) Don’t call shoves too light just b/c you think you’ve got your opponent on the ropes. If blinds are 15/30 and he shoves 405 and you’ve got A6 or 33 I don’t think that’s a good call. Him getting 800+ in chips makes him very much alive. He’s going to keep shoving in these spots, you’d much rather call w/ AK or 88 and those will come."

This is the one I have the most problems with.. I'll get them to 3-400 early and start trying to bully and get myself pot stuck with a lot of crap usually.

Dunno if it's really a good idea, but I tighten up quite a bit when they get low, limping lots of hands I would have raised.

Wouldn't surprise me if, like many of the things I do, that's exactly backwards from what I should be doing, since most people seem more likely to fold bad cards when they're low. :/

It just tilts me too much to have somebody come back from 200-300 chips for the win, and playing regulars, I have a lot more time to be patient than somebody playing turbos would.

I think maybe min raising more in this situation would be good.. some people call every min raise, but if you have something reasonable but when 50 chips becomes 20% of their stack it's much harder for them to call with trash, and it doesn't get you as pot stuck if you are just hoping they fold.
