Default Re: feeling down...but dont want to be out.

It's good to know how to beat a game like that. (Foxwoods $1-2 isn't all that different.) Moreover, they adopted a new rule: QQ is allowed to flop a set now.

Earlier post, about limit:

In No Fold'em games you can't protect your hand, you can't raise for the free card,

The free card raise actually works suprisingly well in low stakes. Loose players who'll see a flop with junk won't necessarily three-bet the flop or bet into the flop raiser on the turn, which are the two ways to thwart the free card.

you can't bluff, you can't win with anything less than top pair

Those are both generally true, with the occasional exception.

and last but not least, it is impossible to put your opponents on a hand.

You certainly can read hands, but you need to consider a much broader range. Also there's no point in attempting Level 2 thinking if they're at Level 0!

Technically your only weapon is to show down the best hand and we all know that's it not easy to make the absolute nuts in Hold'em.

[/ QUOTE ]

This isn't Omaha. You only have to show down the best hand at the table, not the nut hand. Certainly in multiway pots it will take a stronger hand to win on average, a point that both Jones and Miller et al make in their books. So speculative hands that can hit big are much more valuable.

When you win, you will win a much bigger pot.
