Well as a college kid these are relatively high stakes for me, just wanted to mention that first off.
I also wasn't sure where to post this but figured this was an okay place.
I've been invited to play in a game at the apartment of a friend of a friend, this is about the 4th time I've played with them. It's a $20 buy in and we have between 5 and 7 people usually.
The problem is that none of them are good, well 2 people are but I know that so they aren't a problem.
My question is how can I maximize my profits and minimize my losses?
I have noticed that they don't have problems playing middle pairs so i've made money off that with top pair middle kicker cause it's usually enough.
I've also stopped/cut back severly on preflop raising because they will rarely fold so unless I have a high pocket pair it's too risky.
Any other tips, maybe hands to play looser or tighter on, or just any advice in general? I'm just playing for fun, but i'd still like to double up each time I play which I know I can do no problem.
Thanks.
