Loose table strategy changes? [post #1]
I played some low limit holdem this weekend at a really loose table with really bad players, these guys called or raised everything even when they didn't have cards. As a result, the pots were really large , but with so many players staying in, someone often got lucky and took the pot . It's kinda like you said with the pocket aces, if everyone stays in, most likely someone will beat ya.
Do you recommend playing any tighter or looser in this situation??
I was inclined to play a little bit tighter, didn't win/play as often, but when I had the cards, I won a big pot.

This is my two cents - I think if you play tight, you will win in this situation. You may have an opportunity to play a some looser hands, particularly in late position, on this table, and have a chance to win more. If you hit your hand, you know the poor players will still call you all the way down. But this could still be dangerous. You'll have to be able to lay those second place hands down.
Personally, I would stick to my normal game plan - which is tight. Play good cards and play them aggressively. Bet/raise the pot when you think you're ahead, make those poor players chase your hand.
