Cheers guys,

I don't have a hand history as such but the a-rag off suit seems to happen a lot at the lower limits. As it does in live games. The amount of times i hear "yer gotta call when you've got an ace" down the boozer on a saturday afternoon...

The j8o happened when i was on the button with pocket q's. I raised 4 or 5 times the blinds, everyone folded and the big blind called with j8o

And i have noticed that your less likely to get called with a-rag-o at the higher limits. It's a tighter game and playing the odds seems to work better.

But i'm happy to work on my game some more at the lower limits and agree that i do have trouble playing against loose opponents and making tough laydowns.

I do let go of hands more often these days although its still difficult when the only hand you can play in an hour gets out flopped... but i am improving.

But yeah loose opponents do still phase me sometimes.

In a nutshell how should do you handle these guys? Personally i like to sit back, wait for a monster then take them out.

But what if you're not getting any cards? You can't bluff a numpty cos they'll just call for the gamble. When they'res bigger money in the pot and your opponents appreciate pot odds they'll usually fold when they should but you don' often find these players at the lower limits.
