well then everyone is playing loose and i dont think mason met that?

rather met play loose vs anykind of player(tight and loose) and learn when to fold and when not too?

Maybe I'm wrong, but doing this against tight players won't lead to marginal spots, it will lead to obviously -EV spots that probably won't help you.

No, you're not wrong, just using bad table selection. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But if you are on a table that has a lot of loose players, you will learn the +ev spots with looser play. Simply playing better than your opponents will earn more than nut peddling.

bozlax ,i am so sorry next time i ll will give u one

as for this post:

i start playing short-handed as someone suggested!

wow,so much more hands

i think,to play loose, it s very dependant on the read of players then it is to play tight on full ring!

what i love about short-handed is that it forced me out of my way of being a bit weak tight!

moreover,to be succesfull i think in short-handed,u need to know when and vs who to make moves and stop being afraid of facing AA,KK etc...

i really like it,hoping after couple of weeks of play in those very low-limit,i shall get better.
By playing so much more hands,to be able to aply and recognize spots where i can make move or knowing when to fold with "thin" hands.

After my little experince ,wich is going very well(funny but i find it so much easier to make money 6 handed,maybe its just a lucky pass....dunno),i think to play loose, the best place to start learning is in short-handed and not trying playing loose in full ring?

i think,at the stage of developement im at,i needed to make a switch at those short-handed table.
What i was lacking for skills:
-stop being a bit weak tight
-learn to read your opponent better and faster
-give more attention to the flow of the game
-recognize when bluffing is the right move in this situation and most of all...when calling a bluff with a pair of 3 is the time for it...
-stop being afraid of the adversary to always have the nuts or close to it,etc..)

in short-handed,since u most play much more hands,u have to face difficult decision(raise,reraise,etc..) and recognize when someone push too far,well thats what i seem to learn anyway,maybe gona be usefull when facing full ring with tight agressif players?

any thoughts?

ty
ps: yeah i forgot,image is probably more importabt there as well!
