Well, I was doing really well when I used specific raise amounts.  I found that at .01/.02 a raise of about 17 cents was good to know if someone had anything.  My primary strategy was to isolate another player because premium hands go way up in value when an opponent is isolated.  My game play started going bad when I tried to make more money by "sweetening" the pot.  The strategy was to raise enough pre-flop that I could build it up and then bet on the flop a large amount but this only made people want to draw to a big win and put my entire stack at risk.  The standard strategy of raising large and taking down smaller pots without confrontation gave highest success rates, playing pots nobody wanted, and also getting big possibility pots for cheap worked well.

My short stack strategy was essentially to over-raise and then go all in on the flop.  The theory being that if someone were drawing then it wouldn't matter because I'm risking the $1 anyway.  I guess the problem was I only had about $6 when I tried it and it worked for a while but most of the people who called me were playing better then average hands and I was already too pot committed to give it up.

My plan is to take a break from playing for a while.  I won my first 7 sit-and-gos heads up in a row but at $2 I figure I'd need at least $50 or $100 to play at $2 per game.  Some of that was luck too.

I lost an average of 9 cents per hand.  4 cents went to rake and 4 went to other players.
