Default Defining a good LO8 game -- particularly live (possibly LC)...

What do you look for?

Playing 15/30 live, full ring. Hero (UTG+1) is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Pre-flop: UTG folds, Hero raises, three callers, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB checks, Hero bets, three callers, BB folds

Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, three callers.

River: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets, two callers.

First caller wins low with QQ52. Didn't see other hand.


Edit: So I guess I am looking for some feedback on how to judge a good game. Here, I am getting three 2-bet cold callers preflop (plus the BB) and NONE of them have an Ace in their hand. With that many callers, I certainly didn't think there was an ace(let alone two aces left in the deck). If four callers can find justification to call two preflop, this is a game I want to play. What do you look for (particularly in a live game -- personally not interested in online stats, but feel free to throw them in if they add to the analysis).

Numerous people seeing unraised flops is a good game. If you can get a game where 5 or more people are seeing every flop your hand selection will make you money alone.

I generally look for a game with an attractive flirty girl or one with a crazy guy with wild hair who talks a lot - anything that will releave the boredom really. OH MY GOD IS LIVE OMAHA BORING JESUS [censored] CHRIST, CAN WE TRY AND DO MORE THAN TEN HANDS AN HOUR?.

yeah, bunch of loose passive players. But you know that.

As an added item to make it a REALLY good game, a game with 5 plus limpers every hand that include a player who will raise with non nut hands on the turn and river.
