Here's something you probably haven't thought about, and I think it will solidly improve your overall profit rate and at least minimally help your overall win rate.

YOU MUST PLAY SOMEWHAT LOOSER AND CONSIDERABLY MORE AGGRESSIVELY WHEN IT'S 4 PLAYERS THAN YOU DO WHEN IT'S ANY OTHER NUMBER.

The TIGHTEST a single table game gets is when it's four people vying for three money slots. HERE is where you run your blind steals, checkraises, semi-bluffs and stone cold bluffs (ESPECIALLY blind steals). I PROMISE you you won't get called NEARLY as often when someone is staring at "in the money/out of the money" as you would at any other point in the game. This is the spot where you MUST solidify your own position within the money. Here in particular is where the old poker maxim of "if the table is tight, play loose" is especially important.

Try it the next time you're on the bubble. I guarantee you'll see a direct corrolation between "aggressive with four" and your overall earnings.
