I'm playing on a beginner table right now (.04BB) and it's so fishy it's almost scary. People calling to river with anything, nobody knows how to preflop raise and even if it is raised 6xBB preflop you get 4 callers.

I've been playing for 20 minutes and I'm up 70xBB. This rocks.

However, these guys could literally have ANYTHING which is why I'm waiting for premium hands and have gotten paid quite nicely by these calling stations. It almost makes me wonder if I should tangle with people that might bet/call with anything.

I guess if they suck out by calling I just get my money back later.

it should only frighten you if you're playing underrolled.

Trust me, every one of these donks is now on my buddy list. I'm currently at 100xBB and I've only played 3 hands to showdown. These guys call anything. I just wish I was getting better cards.

It's tough to get used to but once you know how to play a loose table you'll realise why it's a great thing.

First time I played on a loose table I completely freaked and thought you could only beat loose with loose. After all, if I don't play anything less than premium hands then I have less hands to overcome the "suckout" factor.

Now I hunt them down. Like the song goes "Suckout on me baby, one more time!"
