 Loose agressive games, Eric Bush, 31. Jul 2002 14:40 | ||

| I play in Home games that are very loose/aggressive. Usually 5+ seeing the flop for at least one or two raises. After that they all seem to have pot odds to chase following the flop. Any suggestions on starting hands and how to compete with this group? I'm speaking of both Omaha 8 and HE, 10-20 limit. Thanks, Eric | ||

I also do not get into pre-flop raising wars with marginal raising hands because that just makes my oppponets after flop drawing hands that much richer in price. Also, hit the flop (or better yet hit the river...they can't draw out on you there! :-) Roy Cooke | ||

| Thanks Roy, I have been doing almost the exact opposite (which would account for my smaller bankroll) I've been reraising these guys because I'm fairly sure they have garbage pre flop. I've also been loosening up for the same reasons. Thanks again. I'll give it a try. Eric. | ||

| but you can't tighten up too much that the rest of the guys notice. if they do, they won't like you, or they'll adjust and stop having fun. i once played in a seven stud hi/low declare game that was loads of fun. we never allowed 8 players because too often there wouldn't be enough cards to deal out all 7 cards. anyway, the game was so loose, so juicy, i was making $500 a night on it (it was only 3-6 limit). then i found out about the Ray Zee hi-low split game, and I realized that i was playing way too loose, so I tightened up and the first few nights i won even more, 1000+ in both nights. but i started to hear the grumblings, the mumblings, the suspicions, about how i was playing like a pro. the game soon ended, and then opened up again in another person's office, and i was never told, nor invited. when i asked about it, i was flat out told i was on the "blacklist". so, you see, my suggestion is not to get too tight to the point that you are no longer considered "one of the boys". the worst possible thing is getting kicked out of a juicy game for being too serious | ||

A little fun in your personality will allieviate much of this. (not saying you are no fun Doc :-) Roy Cooke | ||
