They play at least until flop like 80% of the time. I hear it's a good idea to fold a lot and play good cards. Since they are all playing lose they notice me quickly and when I act with good cards they fold and i collect tiny pots. And if I don't play good cards I tend to lose because, well, they are bad cards, and rarely does everyone fold and somebody likely DOES have good cards. What's a good way to go about in dealing with players like this? I'm sure they aren't very common at higher stakes but meanwhile... so long as ur tighter and smarter than the table u'll win open up your limp and raise range | ||

that way you are playing more then 10-15% of pots .. maybe you'll go up to 15-18% and be able to get more action AND pick up blinds with nothing Which is really the same as playing loose aggressive except you get tangled up in situations where you hit and they hit better alot more when loose aggressive... I say poker is about being subtle , but if you are tight aggressive, AKA not subtle then you have to make plays.... for more information on the different levels of thinking in colliding styles just ask .... this is one of my favorite areas of poker.

Also is there a point to not posting blinds besides saving money? | ||

you either have to pay it on your next hand, and some sites you make you pay for a dead small blind also, or wait until the button passes you and pay it in a late postion .... When you get to a table wait until you are REALY in the big blind before you pay it, take those few hands and write some notes, mentaly or literally about what you see , what they do, how much they have, what there name could mean ,,,. how much is a "standard raise to them" take all that in before you ever play a hand and I promise you will make smarter decisions then if you did not ... | ||

That way people dont know if you have trips or a draw. I use this a lot if I am not getting enough action. What I mean is instead of betting huge when you flop trips, a smaller amount when you hit top pair, and a large amount with 2 pair just bet the same amount on the flop no matter what you have assuming you have a playable hand. This leaves them guessing and invites action into the turn and river, where you now no longer use the standard bet. | ||

From your post you admitted that things could've easily gone badly if luck had screwed you. I just wouldn't be able to risk that. when you have a job/wife it'll be prime-time for disasters. | ||

Even if you consider that a lot of little loses combine to a few big profits, how can there be so many people losing so much money alltogether??? So, who is gonna answer that?? The two who tried so far (imRadu and PvTguillo, p.4) clearly missed the point. | ||
