Strategy:

Tight/aggressive, ABC, no slow playing, very little bluffing, value bet, over bet, big pairs and big cards need big pf action, straights, flushes and sets rule.

Have a few buy-ins as backup, variance will be high.

in this type of game do you think long term will make or lose money? and is it going to be so small of a win or lose that i should even be playing in it?

You most certainly can make money from this table. Exploit their mistakes.

If they play too many hands, they generally have weak cards. So get in there with better cards and outkick them on top pair hands, get higher straights and get nut flushes.

If they overbet or are too aggressive, get in there with good cards and let them do the betting for you.

If they are ABC, then figure out what the ABC is and you can read them a lot better. Especially figure out how they play straight and flush draws as opposed to made hands.

When you get a premium hand, get all the chips in preflop if you can. If not, push a lot on flops you are happy with.

Your variance will be high so realize that a lot of the time you will be losing chips when you limp or call a light raise and then get out after the flop misses you or the action gets stupid. However, when do get past the flop, you stand to win a very big pot.

Remember the goal is to win money, so while you might only win one pot an hour, it will be a big one and the rest of the time you are looking for spots to go all the way but will be getting out of the way mostly (hopefully for as cheap as you can).

Lose the least you can when you are speculating and win the most you can when you are ahead.

Oh, and you're going to get more than a normal share of bad beats. If you can forget about the variance and the bad beats, you should have a grand ole time.
