The only local game is 1/2 limit, and needless to say, it's a huge fishfest..

I only go there to get a live fix every once in a while... (and dont expect to make much profit (if any after gas) at all.

In these horrid fishy games, I dont think that the standard tag play is correct.. I think you lose a lot of value in hands you could be profitable with.

I think that your better off seeing a lot of flops with High cards, suited connectors, connected cards, Ax/Kx suited, and pairs...

Am I wrong? (I have not tested it yet)

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

You will have a bitch of a time beating the rake+tip at a 1/2 game. Borderline impossible.

But yes, in a super loose game there are two methods:
1) turn into a rock and camp camp camp. At a 1/2 game, really, this is pointless.
2) See lots of flops and outplay your opponents post-flop. When there are lots of people in the pot your offsuit "high cards" lose a little bit of value (as with 7 people in the pot, top pair top kicker ain't particularly likely to hold up) and your big Axs and Kxs and suited connected cards go waaaay up as the pots get artificially inflated.
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

in a crazy loose game, think hand strengths in "omaha terms" as i like to refer to it, take the hand rankings and lower them all by 1. hands like suited connectors + big suited cards go way up in value. Pocket pairs->sets are huge. High cards do indeed go down a little though.
