    Default Extreamly loose passive

    Can it be profitable

    I play 2/4 limit holdem with a guy for about 2 weeks now on Noble, and this guy seem to play extreamly bad... He simply see every unraised pot, and never raise pre-flop. I first put him in my friends cause i thought he was a complete fish!

    I like to play with him, cause other players tend to raise him anytime they enter a pot after him (like I do) but even with marginal hands like QJo, KTo etc. When he is on my left, I use this to limp-reraise big hands pre-flop, and when I am on his left I can take his $$$ easily... And honestly, when he's in a game, the pots are huge!!!!

    Playing with him for more than 30 hours now, on thing I cant understand, despite the fact I take so many pots from him, he seem to play the flops and turn so well that he makes money. He indeed play flops very well and make a lot of othe players fold rags folps or bring other players to the river when they have over cards. He pissed poeple so bad they make a lots of mistakes and seem to forget about other players.

    Whated your opinion on this.
    Do you think you can play this style (he is not a calling station... he flods most flops) and play so well post flop that you can be a profitable player, or this guy is just lucky fish and his luck will die shortly?

    I have no plan to change my style, but I'm just curious about your opinion.

    Default loose

    I often get on a rush. When I first sit in a ring game I try to give a buy in away. Often I spend all night trying to give the first buy in away. Other times my loose play early in the session causes players to call me with anything when I have tightened up.

    lol spam ^^^?

    no, i would doubt very much that he is making any money.

    you would have ot be sitting in an extreme game and play extremely well to ever be able to do that - like beyond reason

    look at your BB and SB stats in PT. you lose money in each of those positions because the forced SB (in BB) is too much to overcome by playing well postflop.
