Last weekend I played in a homegame (buyin: €10, blinds 5 and 10 cents). Because it's a homegame, primarily for fun, I don't like folding ("I didn't come here to fold!").
As it turned out, the evening was quite profitable (going all-in blind with Q6o and sucking out on AA helped a bit too /images/graemlins/wink.gif). My question is though: can it be profitable to see as many flops, with any two cards, for 1 to 3 BB? I feel I can get away from TP without problems (with 97o for instance) and I get payed of quite nicely when I flop a straight when I limp in with 74s.
Not that I wouldn't do this anymore if it's not +EV, but I just wondered if the deck just hit me (which it kind of did, I think), or this could be a winning strategy in a loose passive game. Position helps, ofcourse, I did tighten up in EP. But I rarely folded on the button, if it was limped to me.
