When playing ring games, I play Limit, usually $2/$4.  The problem with these games is that too many people chase hands that they should never even play.  That's why they are often called No Fold'em Hold'em games.  But, these are the mistakes that make you money in the long run.  In the long run, tight play will win, but in the short run the old lady playing any two cards can and will suck out on you.  So, as a solid, tight player, you must learn to deal with frustration.  Also, using tricky plays like a check raise and a reraise to protect your hand assumes that your opponents know what those plays mean and know enough to fold their draws.  Some do, many don't.  So, many times these plays go way over their heads.  Similarly, pre-flop raises with big pairs are usually a waste of money in No Fold'em games.  Pocket A's will hold-up about 30% of the time when there are 7-9 players seeing most flops.  That being said, Limit is about getting as many bets in the pot as you can.  So, tailor your play to the table at the time.

If you move up to $3/$6 Limit, there are generally slightly tighter players, even more so at $4/$8 Limit.

But, since you make money when your opponents make mistakes, more mistakes are made at $2/$4 Limit than in any other game.  So, the really easy money, in the LONG RUN, is at $2/$4 Limit.  You just have to play solid, tight poker, deal with the suck outs, and show them the nuts.
