Alot of what is being said is true, but you have to relate it to the limits that you play at... 2/4 and under, most of the skills that everyone has listed is a bit overrated. We should all be able to beat the lower stakes by playing simple ABC style poker... Why play a high level strategy with players that think on a low level???

Low stakes poker is boring and profitable for that very reason (players that think on a low level.) I would love to make fancy plays at the limits I play, but it's not profitable when your opponents can't read the board...
