1/2 NL can be crushed like peanuts under a steamroller.

Good post. I do have a question however, for you or for anyone else who plays a LAG NL style.

When people say that they play almost any hand, does that include all of the high card/ low card split offsuit crap as well? Like K4o, J6o, Q2o, etc. I'm not sure what percentage of hands this makes up.

...

I know that I didn't really state a question, but I'm just wondering when you limp T3o in MP what you're plan would be on the flop in a multiway pot. And does anyone else agree that that hand wouldn't show a long term profit even in a loose passive 1-2NL game? Or am I just missing something?

Yes, I would limp with K4o, T3o, etc. In my opinion it is possible to show a long term profit with these hands. As to my plan on a multiway flop after limping in MP with T3o, it's actually very simple: If I make two pair or better, I bet / raise. If I make top pair, I play cautiously. If I make an open-ended straight draw, I bet, raise, or call depending on the situation. Otherwise, I check/fold. These types of hands don't win a large percentage of the time, but when they do win they typically pay off fairly well.

this is EXACTLY what i was looking for! thanks for everyone who posted..... I consider these people calling with garbage hands preflop and i thought they were idiots.... yet everytime i see them play they seem to do well (obviously not everytime but consistently winning) My game is definately suited more for a 2/5 live game
