I remember making a "whine" post when I first moved up to .5/1, complaining about the blinds hitting a pair every freaking time I open raised from LP and me always hitting squat. I felt like a jerk for posting that after I went on to crush that game. Lately the same has been happening at 1/2 5-max, and I don't know how much of it is running bad, and how much is bad play.
Ace-Rag has been killing me lately.
I have often read that you should be less likely to raise PF if the blinds are loose; but nobody ever really goes into detail beyond that, which is kind of important since the blinds are almost always loose. Does it mean I should muck A60 from the CU if it's folded to me? How about if I have A8o on the button with 1 limper?

SB checks, Hero...
Assume a typical loose-passive villian who plays too many hands too far, but isn't quite dumb enough to showdown every hand. Bet this every time? If you check do you call a river bet?
