Loose games seem like a good way to get some chips.

The question is, though: What about the pre-flop action that often goes on? How much do you go in for pre? When 2-4 X BB raises are a norm and the people are getting loose and frisky..

My plan is CALL up to 4xBB with decent cards (high / low PPs, high SCs), and I lower the quality a little bit (lower SCs, etc) if it's a choo choo pot (5+ callers).

I know it's better to be leading the betting, but if people are doing it for you, do you just go with the flow - or do you step ABOVE them a bit?

Just curious.

I find my stack getting nibbled sometimes by the higher price to see the flop, especially if the flop doesn't bring anything helpful. I hate to bluff a missed flop in these games, because you will get called and will probably go to showdown, so you need at least something...

Do you keep the same flop % in a loose game or do you like to at least see the flop more often than a tight game? Any comments, etc. would be useful.
