Just sat down, hands like this do wonders for your table image.

MP2 is loose and calls way too much
Button is fairly tight
SB is really terrible
BB looks fishy

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Fnord is CO with 8, A.
4 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Fnord raises, 1 fold, SB calls, BB calls, MP2 calls.

Villian just plain sucks and knows I'm putting pressure on him. Called me down a couple hands ago KQo vs A9o when neither of us had help (I checked behind on the river.) 62/10 split.
Blinds are tighter in this hand too.

This is why I target these guys with marginal hands, because I know I can destroy them post-flop.

Love the second hand. It gives me a nice feeling to know that there are such tools at 3/6

I hate this preflop raise against looser/calling blinds. Given your reads, I love making this play.

After the turn cap + river 3-bet I figured I was in split or 2nd nut vs nut territory. Up until this hand he hadn't been silly aggro. In retrospect, I like the cap only because he can't 5-bet me.

I watch closely when and before I sit down. Doesn't take long to figure some players out.
