I know it depends on players, chip stack, blinds etc, but what are the hands you will call with?

I get the feeling I don't play with enough hands, as I usually only play if both my cards are 10 or over (unless I have pockets of course) or if I have a suited Ace. Am I taking myself out of pots because I won't play the lesser hands? And when is the right time to play the lesser hands?

I'm on a very bad losing streak atm, I can't take much more.

Any help would be much appreciated.

i never call, raise check or fold for me

and i play everyhand in cash with regards to position on the table

Also, when would you suggest the time to bluff is?

when you have a read on your oponent...for example if we have a draw heavy board and he is check calling check calling

by the river if his draw card hasnt hit and he hasnt shown strength we can take a stab at the pot...comes with pracice and thousands of hands..

Read some more books if you already haven't.

Every hand is based on the situation for me, and most players.

Stu_Wilson,

This is a shameless self promotion, but I have links on my website to a few free poker calculators that will help you out. They attach to your poker table and give you advice on whether to fold, call, or raise. It takes into calculation your two starting cards, what's on the flop/turn/river, your position to the dealer, and a number of other factors.

I personally used a calculator when I first started, and it really helped for me to understand the strength of starting hands, odds of hitting a straight, flush etc.

I still use a calculator, not so much now to give advice, but to remind me of the number of outs/chance of hitting what I'm chasing. (I can do it in my head, but is much easier to look at the calculator, and concentrate on my opponents.)

I find that calculators are handy as well. I used to use one for the first few months I was playing regularly, but you may find that it becomes unnecessary after a while one you get more comfortable with calculating (memorizing) odds in your head.
