Ok, I've logged over 4300 hands, and PT has me rated as TA-A. While I feel (since at 2700 it was sLA-A) this is improvement, I'm wondering what rate I should be striving for? I'm using Marms rules for rating.

When I posted my stats at 2700 hands, I stopped looking for hands to play and reasons to play them, and started looking for hands to fold and reasons to fold them. I feel this has greatly improved my play and my WR has increased and is increasing every session, but should I be playing this way? Have I gone from one extreme to the other and do I need to search out a mighty high ground?

I should say that when I'm looking for reasons to fold It's all PF. I'm talking about hands like JTo in late CO or MP3. I think that this is a drawing hand and nobody else is in the pot...fold...55 in EP and I'm not comfortable with who's going to raise behind me...fold...are these good reasons to let go marginal hands?

If you look at my positional stats, I'm only in the red in one position (not including the blinds) and that's MP2. It's only about $4 or so, but I was in the Red in all MPs...I tightened it up and have improved all my stats to green except that one, which is working it's way up.

I believe the reason I had such a hard time with MP is because I knew to play tight EP and was comfortable with hands to play and when to play them LP, but MP was taking my money...That has got to be the biggest improvement to my game lately.

Tight is right, but if you can outplay your opponents postflop, you can open up a little more.

NL:
At low limits TAA is ok no-one notices.

As tables tighten and blinds become important you loosen to steal...

My stats at 0.01/0.02 had me TAA

At .5/1 and 1/2 (flop of 30%) by some rating systems - I turn out to be a fish... but I'd rather be a fish at 0.5/1 @ 8bb/100 than TAA @ 2bb/100.
The reason I end up a fish is that I play a lot more hands preflop but the fighting is all done by the turn (often by the flop) so I appear to be loose passive

lol my AF is like 10

I don't use my rules to autorate myself, I use them to profile my opponents. My raules basically group better players into large, generic groups, and seperate the worse players into more specific groups. Since I'm mainly a low limit player (<5/10), there are mor fish than sharks, and basically I jsut give the better players respect, but with better analysis I can exploit specific attributes of the weaker players.
