It's crazy -low limit players, player, 28. Jul 2003 05:37
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I have been playing with at 2/4 low limit hold-em. Have won but lost alot more. Many players take their unsuited crap to the river to beat me. Ignoring raises to any over cards. My trip kings on the flop get beat by a flush on the river alot of the time. Any suggestions on playing with these unpredictable players. I can not figure how to win when so many players stay to the turn and river to hopefully catch their card. And with so many players in the hand one will most the time be lucky to create loosing hands for me over and over. Very frustrating. Like to hear any suggestions on playing to win at low-limit.

Play solid cards.....Play the odds....Don't bluff unless the situation screams for it.....Play your hands in a protective manner......DON'T get frustrated!

Sklansky has a good section in his book about loose agressive players.. I play seven card stud and I started playing more drawing hands to 4th street and then when I get a good 4-card hand on 4th, I bet very hard. If I haven't improved on4th or if I can't limp cheaply to 5th, Then I'm out cheap but have had the chance to beat them with the best hands.

Big Pairs are often garbage hands if they dont quickly improve in very loose games. Play more straights and Flush DrawsI play more gut-shots. And if if their board doesn't look threatening, it probably isn't

My suggestion is moving up to 3-6. There is a major difference in quality of players. You'll probably do much better there.
