Extremely Loose Table

[Crveballin]

Last night on .5/1.00 Party, I found a great table where the table average for VP$IP was aprox. 43 and the PFR% was 8. First hand I got off to a great start with a 25BB pot catching a set with my pocket 8's. But in the next 100 hands, I did not seem to catch any cards and was drawn out on numerous times. With so many people always seeing the flop, what kind of advice should I change to my game? Here is an examples of one of the hands...

3-bet pre-flop. With two overcards to your TT I'd fold the flop when it's 2 back to me. But you didn't so it was a crime not to raise the turn.

[Peter Harris]

agreed.

furthermore, remember with more people in the pot, variance will increase and suckouts, even with perfect play, happen lots.

That said, 3-bet PF and fold flop. Missing the turn raise was odd - monsters under the bed??

[royaltrux]

I agree with all the above 3-bet the flop.

Yeah I do think I missed the 3-bet preflop. I guess if you miss the flop and there are more than one overcard its correct to fold in that situation. With such a loose table, is it correct to loosen up with some suited connectors or should I stay tight?

Hard to say with one overcard, you need a good read on your opponent. When you're facing 2 bets and there's an overcard, it's pretty safe to fold.

With a loose table, you can loosen up your starting requirements some.
