It ain't eazy bein lazy

So I started to play the 200nl ring games today. Eh didn't work out too good as I was tired for some reason and couldn't pay special attention to where special attention was needed. I learn something new everyday though, and it amazes me how stopid I am. Today I learned that you can stereotype tables conciously or subconciously for the specific table or the specific limit. I think this is the main reason I lost 3k in a week as it can be good or bad depending on how you analyze and actually pay attention to the table and not what happened the last two times you played.
I usually pay attention while playing 5 tables to certain people that stand out. After doing this every time I play I think I have a feel for the limit and lean back and do my regular pattern. I soon find out everyone is calling my flop bet compared to the previous days. Wtf is going on. I tighten up and still bluff some because I'm not getting great cards and they still call me. I can't get a break. I have to check with my ok hand and can't call rr. What's going on?
Even though it might sound weird being agressive may lead your oppenents to become tighter. This is what I LOVE. I finally understand that I have to get a feel for the table before making any "standard play". Before you do anything standard you're going to probably have to manipulate your foes. People may think he's winning every hand lets just fold. Or he can't win a hand so I'm going to call him(even though I'm playing tight as fuc) I'm sorry I can't explain this so well but I hope you can see why I lost 3k over such a stupid thing. Hopefully you don't as well.

After my 200nl session of my usual 5 tables I played 200nl 6 handed and remember what it really meant to win. You have to make plays when plays are called for. 10 person may not show your true skill but damn will it make you money. I won 550 today 6 handed 1 table and lost on all my tables in 200nl long handed 5 tables losing 100 total.

I have an unbelieveable skill at feeling players out now. I was talking a friend and said. He is a fold station, so is this other guy but a little less. I was under the skin of another guy and the other one would call me but fold on the turn or river every single time. And the last guy was just not good. Right after that I had pocket 8s and raised it up. The guy whos skin i was under called. I hit trips bet half pot then 2/3 pot then 1/4 pot and he called me down with pocket 4s. It was a good feeling.

Today +450 Year to date: 6350

The next thing I need to work on is the overbet preflop and postflop play.
