Re: When do I raise my QQ on a ultra-loose table?
This is what happens when "experience" triumphs over logic. QQ is a great starting hand, you must make everyone pay to stick around. If you don't push these equity edges you are really hurting your long term winrate.
Now that is not to say you will win everytime, in fact you will lose quite a lot of pots in these multiway suckfests BUT you will win more bets than you lose.
This is a classic example of negative reinforcement: you read the books, start aggressively and suffer a couple of bad beats. Next time you decide you will put fewer bets in because you "know" you will get sucked out. Of course now you get more callers, bottom pair catching trips, smaller PP hitting a set, runner-runner flush etc. In the end you start praying not to get dealt AA, KK or QQ and look for tighter tables where they respect your raises....
