I think you'll find most good players move from TAG to a looser, more aggresive strat for exactly the reason big red mentions - namely that playing tight you're either taking the KK vs AA beat (which to me is just as bad as having 88 draw out on the KK) or you take a standard bad beat, almost everytime you lose money. So you wait wait wait then get sucked out. It's actually less painful and more fun to give up on pots where you raise with junk than to watch AA get beat yet again by clueless moron #8 - for me, I guess - that's probably an individual thing. When I get a monter beat it pains me, when someone picks me off on a bluff I can just smile and move on.
Ain't it the trutch regarding bad beats. I've got 15K hands in PT. Up until about a month ago it had me as TPA. I've gotten slightly looser in preflop. I'll post my PT numbers and hand histories cause I would really like some feedback on my preflop verses post flop play. I know I have a LOT of improving to do to become even close to a solid player. I'd appreciate any feedback I can get. Thanks again.
