Are you saying why didn't I loosen up or tighten up? I did adjust to the table conditions by making smaller bets. I knew big bets would cause folds, and I didn't want folds. The blinds, at 1/2, are so small that stealing blinds is useless, and once a player open-raised, it was not as though I was going to get a fold. All of that, combined with being card dead, led me to adjust by making small bets to get value out of made hands. The problem is that the small bets create a situation where I am more likely to face a suck out, but in most of those spots, I was not giving proper odds, so I can't really complain.
