loose
Something that seperates a strong loose player from a weak loose player is AGGRESSION! Its fine to loosen up your starting hand requirements from the late position but any cards that you do play should be played agrresively.
If your post flop skills are good enough to outplay your opponents on the flop then you have the capablity to develop into a strong, profitable player. Some recommendations to change your game;
1. Limping into a multiway pot is fine, if youre in position. Dont limp from UTG with 56 suited and high face cards. Besides low-medium pocket pairs, fold drawing hands from the early position and raise your standard raise (4-5x bb +1 for each limper) with big face cards and high pocket pairs. Dont be scared to lose money with ak, you usually have the best hand preflop and with practice ak will become one of your premium money making hands.
2. Raise the pot with hands you do play from the late position (except for drawing hands such as SC's Ax suited, small pp). DONT limp with a hand like a6...if you want to play it RAISE IT! Anytime you see an ace with a-trash in a six-handed pot youre going to lose money.
3.If its folded around to you, raise the blinds EVERYTIME! At lower limits this cheap move will pay off big in table image.
Playing loose is fun and effective, so long as you mantain an aggressive style. Please dont be a limp-call fish. There is loose and there is bad. Even if this is making money at microlimits it wont be an effective style at middle limits.
