Last night I played a $5 tourny with some friends.. For the last 2 months I've won everytime we've played, which isnt really saying much. What is funny is that over the last 2 months I've also increased my time in casinos and online playing.. so my game has significantly changed. Especially PRE-FLOP. I play fairly simply.. raise group 0-1, call-raise 1-2 positioned correctly etc. This style of playing has worked very well for me in the casinos because people actually fold or the limpers get punished.
Last night I relalized that all my friends limp.. but still call raises with junk cards.. They consider any suited poket good.. Raising 10xBB with 6/6 etc.. I tried to change my game accordingly but realized I wasnt seeing nearly enough flops. How was I eliminated last night? I raised Big Slick spades 10xBB preflop, 4 callers! Flop: Ad Kc 3s. I raise to all in. 1 player calls. turn/river: 7d, Qd. He shows: 3d 8d. HE CALLED MY PRE FLOP RAISE WITH 3/8 SUITED!! i dont mind too much about the flush.. that was just a badbeat.. but the pre flop call that's what kills me.
Any advise about how to play a table like this would be greatly appreciated.
