Basically against this type of field you want to play it like you would a rebuy tourney. Premium PF? Push. Otherwise limp every hand and push w/ top pair or better. You're not pricing them out so just push when you think you're ahead, they'll talk themselves into calling w/ any piece or draw since they don't know odds.

Or, just not play since it may as well be play money anyway.

is this a serious thread....

why would you care beating those players if what you say is true about your income in the *real games* ?!?!

I mean, when I play with friends (quite often), stakes are always quite lower than what im used to and for some reason, im not having amazing results against them because :

1) i'm donking and i feel good about it (finally! I can do all the fun and obviously bad moves i won't do normally because not profitable)

2) i don't care much.

They all know I play a lot online and winning but none of em understand the game and what it requires to succeed. I'm definately not there to teach em and prove everyone im a better player. Noone cares anyway, they just want the thrill of a poker game and the occasional win.

And they are glad and amazed when they see me rebuy 5 times and spew like a donk. They think im a degenerate lol. It`s just micro stakes and they dont get the whole picture about how i see those games.

Basically, im always having a good time playin with friends, and i dont care much about the results.

I'm still an overall winner anyway lol.

So my question is : you play 5/10 NL and are pīssed at not crushing that 10$ buyin game? My god, focus on 5/10 NL and be glad about it.

Yet they don't do anything to get better at the game, and are convinced Q-9 suited is a great hand that should be raised with.

Yes why don't they realize that Q9, being the'computer hand' is only the nuts online, but is garbage live. When will they learn?

BuddyQ - I'm afraid I don't understand your post. Are you saying Q9 IS a great hand? If so, please come play me for cash.
