I'm playing on a particular site where a lot of time I'm at a table full of guys who are 50/10 or looser preflop. How should I adjust?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Are they exploitable postflop tho?
1 suggestion:
3bet light PF to isolate in position

Isolation is out of the question (vast majority of the time), raises get called indiscriminantly(sp?) by the blinds and others. The average flop is seeing 4+ people at a 6-handed table.
There's a lot of 3-handed showdowns where 2 or more of the players have less than 2nd pair. I'm trying to adjust my hand selection more towards draw-friendly hands since the pots are getting huge on a regular basis. I'm favoring something like QTs over AJo most of the time, for example.
Edit: The reason for the favoring QTs over AJo comment was that some of these guys push seemingly random buttons postflop. It'll get checked around for 2 streets, then capped 4-ways on the river when some guy flopped top 2 or a set. It's hard to tell where you're at unless you have a big hand because there's so much action.

I like that, if this is a consistent happening I would review some SSHE concepts that would apply to 4-5 players seeing a flop.
Here are some more questions: Hows the postflop play?Aggressive or passive? Can you raise for free cards, can you raise a draw w/o fear of being 3bet light. Do these players have any idea what they are doing in the blinds?

To answer your questions: they call, passive, what do you think, what do you think, what do you think.
I think that covers it all.

1. You were asking questions that I had already answered.
2. It's doesn't matter if it's a standard question, I was looking to get a conversation going so I don't have to hear people like you bitch about this forum "dying".
3. If you don't have anything to contribute to the thread, stop posting in it.
