    Default I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG

    I HATE low limit holdem games, i know loose-agressive tables are suppose to be the most profitable and that you should tighten your game up when you play at these table, but whenever i play i only win about 2 pots every hour. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG... NL you can take control of the table and win 5 pots in a row, bully, but everyone calls, calls, calls, in limit and then they call sum more and i have to folf my kk to a fucking a2 off when the flop shows an ace.. i waited an hour for the kk.. Fuck!!
    man i just needed to get that outta my system...
    heres a question??
    when you multi-table do you classify the player type on each table and play the person or generally do you just play the cards.?

    I don't really read players, but after a while you get to know who the bad players are, who are good, etc.. after a while it just comes to you.. at least for me it does.. I play 5 table .5/1 and I don't watch the tables.. I talk on AIM or watch tv and surf the net.. but you just get to know how people play after a while..

    How many tables are you playing? I'm bored at 5, so I can imagine your boredom if you play less like 3..

    I'm very impatient too.. which is why I must multitable when I ring.. SnG's and tourneys I can be patient because time is on my side and the increase of blinds...

    you know how to play each hand when it comes and see the weakness or strength in your opponets bets?
    just instantly make your move on how your style of play would suggest??

    Somewhat, but I factor in the players past image on the table of course..

    As for # of pots.. do you mean medium/big pots, or just any pots? Also, what limits do you play? I don't really consider .5/1 low limit.. I think it's on the low end of the "medium limits" spectrum..

    This is the exact opposite of what you want to do.

    ?

    I've always thougth it was most profitable to play tight at a loose table and loose at a tight table.

    That was the original idea a few years ago, but of late, it has become pretty standard to also loosen up some, but far less than the table is loose, and then wait for your hand to hit on the flop. Basically you have to utplay the table on the flop, usually means folding. You can assume the others have worse crap than you on the average, and so you can now playa few more scpeculative hands for value since these players will most likely pay you off.

    Now at the higher LHE tables, and in a very LA game, you do need to watch out for what you play in spots, since your now specualtive hadns that you saw a flop for cheap, is now costing you the max to see, therefor completely destroying any value you get from them....

    What percentage of hands do you normally play and what type of hands would you play if playing at a loose low limit table? I don't want to be like all the other assholes out there calling anything and ending up even in chips at the end of the night by winning a few lucky pots.
    these are 1/2 dollar limit games..

    Default tight loose

    The work I did on this (loads of NL hands) showed that you should always play just a bit tighter than the table you are on.If the table is loose you epect to lose more hands BUT the pots are bigger. On very tight tables with active/intelligent preflop betting your best game plan is to leave...
    See me playing $10/$20NL like it was play money
