Default Re: Staying Away from Quality players

I ve been playing some 6max with total neverfoldem loose passives. It plays like a micro limit full ring table and most hands go to showdown. It took me a while to realize there s no fold equity. I agree that its really difficult to play them when you cant bluff or put them on a hand. At 6max I cant play tight either so I play my normal preflop game and raise less, bluff less and value bet more. It means I give up a lot of pots but I managed to get used to it. So it should be much easier playing full ring with them since you usually have premium hands. You just cant expect to have a right to win the pot just because you have the preflop lead. Yes it can be difficult to play when you have a table of TAGs and a few stations. You cant play power poker since they stations dont fold and you cant limp with multiway hands because the TAGs might raise. But once you figure out a strategy thats somewhere in the middle its still very profitable. You just have to learn to switch gears depending on the opponent. I would still pick a TAGs + stations table before a TAG only table. Its nice to have some fold equity but I still prefer thin value betting.
