Why the crap do I try and rep high PP's against fish?.....Why? They dont care...........I had tried before at this table with a 2/3 pot size bet...and it got no respect with my opp. calling me down with an underpair....

So I tried to show it for real this time by betting pot to rep a PP...geuss I just need to stop.

Also, should I just complete from SB with AK....I dont want to be against that many limpers do I?

If it was me I wouldn't even raise from the SB like that.

Maybe if I was playing with decent players, but against fish the raise is -EV imo.
Light years ahead of the competition.

You can't bluff the unbluffable. Don't try. This move might get respect at higher levels (might), but here just wait for your made hands and be glad you're at a table that will pay those hands off.
I'll be a rootin' tootin' shootin' damn fool, protectin' my chips.

Yah....I need to put a damn sticky note on my monitor telling me to stop doing it....I have lost too much damn money doing this.

But do you want a lot of callers in this hand?....If I wouldnt have raised it would have been 5 handed to the flop....and If I hit there is a better chance that TPTK is no good.....

Don't jam pots a bunch pre-flop and show them hands.

I might just build a pot a bit here pre-flop...

Bobby, I look back at my biggest losses and most stem from bad calls on pushes and . . . you guessed it, BLUFFING. Bluffing at low limits is akin to steer roping with dental floss. I just don't do it anymore. One stab at the pot, and then let it go or at worst call it down cheap if you must know his cards.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

I think I will tattoo this on my eyelids. So true. No respect given.

All good replies, so with AK the agreement at these stakes is limp in EP...and juice the pot a bit with MP-LP...then if you miss muck it, and if you hit make sure you aint beat with TPTK?

Everybody does it. We ALL do it. I just did it and I want to do it again.

Couldn't resist the Mel Brooks quote...

But serious at .5/.10 you gotta play them for what they are: beginners. These guys don't understand pot odds or reads yet so don't try the poker-judo on them. Just play them straight and make 'em pay for cards.
