Intentionally playing too loose

[nutbag]

Well with six max, are you including the blinds? Because most peple play high thirties if you include the blinds, so it might not be that much of a jump. This might be a good idea, but only if it is a pretty big decrease in limits and you don't let it affect your play at your normal limits. For me, i'd want to play too many hands when I returned to my normal game.

I did do it at a 1/2 home game that my non-serious poker playing freinds had, because playing tight would be way to boring and useless.

Also, I took this to mean limit. If you were referring to NL, I think a $100-200 player would be able to try a a bunch of different things that they wouldn't want to try at their normal level when they jumped down to a $10-$25, so it might be more helpful for a NL player.

Im talking money put in voluntarily, and i also did mention that this is better tried at no limit, since you have many more options in what to do.

I think what you stand to gain with this, more than the additional post-flop practice (which you could get just by playing more poker in general), is advertising yourself as a very loose player, and making a lot more money when you flop top two pair or a straight. For that reason, I’d suggest this might be more effective in B&M than online, where not enough of the table will be paying attention.

That said, I won’t be trying it anytime soon.
