SSHE Starting Hands: Define "Loose"

[Julio]

In his starting hands chart, Sklansky defines "loose" as any game where 6+ players on average are entering the pot. My question is..

Can we modify that definition to include "any game that has, on average, unusually high pots even if the number of players in the pot are less than 6"

No, the pf chart refers to the scale loose-tight (I think)

but you are probably thinking of to passive-agressive.

What is playable on a loose-agressive table differs from a tight passive and so on.

i.e you don't want to be caught limping speculative hands with good implied odds on an agressive table where it may be raised and re-raised when it comes back to you.

Loose does not equal aggressive.
edit: @ OP.

you have to play aggressive tables way differently than loose tables.

I gauge players with the loose-tight aggressive-passive labels but I don't do it for tables.

Table dynamics is a much more complicated beast and it flows constantly based on the position of the players in the hand.

Sometimes playing a hand one way with an aggressive button is much different than an aggressive UTG.

That is why starting charts are good to get a grounding on what you should do and are good for basic ABC poker concepts multitabling but are useless if you are concentrating on the table and trying to optimize each opportunity of the deck.

Be careful of trying to pick the starting charts based solely on a generic descriptor unless its tight/passive and if you find a lot of tight/passive games let me know where they are, I love free money.
