Hi all!

Started to play some 6max until getting to higher games to learn shorthanded and blind play. So I'll be bugging you for a while. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have some trouble adjusting to wery loose passive players. How you deal with them? bat all the way A high or better unles they wake up?

Value bet them to death. Do not bluff them. Take free turn cards when you need them. Run when they raise.

Betting with just A-high seems a bit risky since guys like that might've caught bottom pair or so. They're really really easy to play. Just like in full ring...

When they bet, they have a hand. Otherwise you can full throttle. But i don't think you should go mad with anything less than top pair still. These guys could be calling you down with top pair etc. Just a dream opponent to play against. Sometimes they draw out on you but they wouldn't be playing if they didn't once in a while.

I think it depends. Some of these players won't fold the flop for one, but will fold the turn. In those situations I think you should bet ace-high, especially if you have two overcards.

You should definitely bet with less than top pair, but if there are a couple of loose-passives hanging about at the river, I'll check behind sometimes, usually only if I have a read that they won't bet their ace-rag with an ace on board.
