I am used to more agressive games where hands are easily defined by bets and raises. Recently though ive been playing very small stakes on pokerstars (5 and 10NL) and the games have been super passive.
I have seen players limping with big pairs and check calling the whole way, and I see players hit the nut flush or nut straight and check call down.
With this type of play I have been getting confused. I usually make cont. bets with my bigger hands and I am getting called very often and I have no idea where I am at. Since the geames are passive should I stop double barreling and triple barreling in these low games (I dont do it often, but should I stop completly) and also how do I maximize my great hands when people are just check calling me. Should I start betting more than pot??
Thanks.
