It's good to play every primetime hand you have hard. I find that slowplaying on .5/1 is just silly and I think every player who slowplays 2 pair or sets vs my tptk... lol they win at best 1 bet from me, but if I check call river they get squat
 .Try throwing in a few more drawing hands into your starting hand requirements (for multihanded pots)... often if you hit your draw, the other players won't notice and will pay you off 3 or 4 BB more .Cheers, Gutzz |

Increased variance ...
... decreased profit.
This is of course a matter of style of play. And if you are willing to muck it if you get most of the way there and pot odds don't justify seeing to the river, this might be fine. But the profit I eek out at these tables comes from players who throw in more drawing hands, then don't hit, while I'm busy pounding away at my (admittedly rare) premium hands. |

Agree w/ that, because most of the time, you won't go 4 to the flush or straight. Although, at a full table, in late position, you can play 78s or 89s and still be "playing correctly." [Depends largely on what happened preflop so far, too.]

All good advise. Do you guys bet/raise alot on semibluffs in limit? i.e. if you call with ATs, and it come Kxx w/2 to your suit, or you flop 2nd pr. with a belly buster. Do you bet out alot with these, try a check-raise etc? Or do you simply try to see turn cheaply then make a determination on the strenth of your hand, pot odds etc. Of course it depends on alot of factors, but in general what is your opinion on this. BTW, Aeq. I'm not asking if you should call 3 players down to river with sucker end of straight dreaw etc. lol Be nice!!

Well I dunno what you guys thought when I suggested throwing in some drawing hands... But I hope you didn't think I was telling him to drastically increase his flop percentage? I think my exact words were 'throw in a few drawing hands'.
If you loosen up too much you'll be bleeding your profits away, agreed. But if you don't include some good drawing hands under ideal conditions (where many are seeing the flop), then you're missing out on some huge profits... The low limit tables are filled with people who overplay weak hands and will just help push up your profit when you're on the draw .Position's always important, but on a loose passive table it might be good to occasionally limp in with a drawing hand like JTs UTG or UTG+1. It really depends on the table. Anywho, another minor benefit to playing a little looser PF, is it'll be harder for players to peg you on any hands. Which'll perhaps give you more money on your premium hands? . Ok this's probably just an excuse to player looser cause I doubt most of the players are even paying attention  .Cheers, Gutzz |
