Default Re: What strategy -vs- VERY loose table @ $3/6 limit?

Moving to a weak strategy like that is not optimal. I know it sucks (literally) to have your pre-flop monster get donked by 2 crappy pair, but you have to keep raising when you have the best of it. Realize that when you have a significant pre-flop edge (ie...AA) with 4-5 calling stations, they are making a incorrect play according to FTOP, and you profit.


Your stronger holdings pre-flop will win MORE than thair fair share of the time (not necesssarily > 50%, but if 5 handed, they will win more than 20% fair share so jam the pot). It's not "rare" that the best hand going in wins, its a proven long term statistic.

Don't let some low-limit suckouts tilt your play. Re-Read SSHE and keep grinding.

ALSO - I am in definite sympathy with you on suck outs, I just took $600 of 1/2NL suck outs at the winstar, but I realize I played well and this is a momentary oddity in a life long poker game.
