I kinda started like you are talking about. Granted, I bought in for more and didn't start playing the 1/2 cent tables....but I understand the super-tight passive mentality you have/had. I've been blasted for it before.
However, the last few weeks/since maybe beginning Februrary or so...I've read a ton of this website and I've read a ton of the NL posts from people on here and becoming aggressive (in the right situations) causes a huge jump in positive results.
Only raising with the top 3-5 hands for Hold Em is like putting a "HEY I'M SUPER TIGHT" billboard above your head.
No, you're not going to go out raising everything, but there are times when it is warranted. And, you're going to have to change the style unless you want to keep changing tables every 30 minutes for the rest of your poker career.
Keep reading and reading and playing and asking advice and you can get it going in the right direction.
