if your not hitting the flop over a course of 8 or so hands playing against players that dont fold that often (almost call stations) and fairly loose aggressive players do you think that checking and being passive is a good option while your having this spell. I sometimes see players folding alot at the river but there is no guarantee they will. So if you keep missing with not much in the way of draws would folding be the best bet in the long run against these two styles of play. I lost alot of what i had gained yesterday and that was even after folding alot at the turn.

littleogre has a little shameless behaviour in the past
 well i'm not sure what the pefect play is but i would say bluffing people that don't know how to fold is not +ev. Unless you have a read on the villan that you can push him off the pot i see no need to get involved so i would just wait untill a better hand. The think about loose players is you don't need to bluuf them to make money.

Whether or not you make certain plays has nothing to do with whether or not you've hit past flops, except insofar as it affects the psychological dynamics at the table.

When you have the lead, betting missed flops is almost always correct against one or two players, even if you've been called the last 20 times.

hmmm i dont know dsaxon are you trying to say that the more they call the less likely they will have hit themselves. The way i look at it is that if your not hitting your good starting cards then its most likely the cards are falling in a loose callers hitting area. like youd expect them to have low cards like 89 97 10 6 alot
