Let me be the first to refer you to a large thread that covers this topic. Its called "Opinion Poll of Online Sites" (or something) and had well over 2000 views as of a couple days ago. Look on page 2 or 3 of this forum.

Keep in mind that top pair is is not a "great" hand in games where five or more people are seeing the turn.

You're probably not adjusting properly to the loooooooooose games.

Check out the Small Stakes forum -- there have been some good threads recently regarding how to beat loose games.

It's called "schooling". You can beat 1 fish easily but when there are many of them, they tend to swim around in schools to better protect themselves /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Like Homer said, you need to make some adjustments to playing in loose games. Unsuited cards lose value, big draws are huge, value bets are good, semi-bluffs lose almost all of their value etc. etc. etc. WLLHE by Lee Jones is good for these types of games as well as the loose games section in HPFAP.

Essentially, you're going to have to show the best hand and it's going to need to be better than top pair good kicker against a field of 4+. Adjust and you will make tons of money at party like virtually everybody else. It's so bad that the not so fishy fish make money.

that's all i have to say. i love it. i love it. i love it. can the wpt be on every day? how about espn? please? pretty please?

oh yeah, advice. find a game with about 7 weak-loose players. there should be 4 of them going at any time. play hands like 33 and 75s utg. wait until they hit. win a 30bb pot. rinse and repeat. unsuited big cards suck. etc, etc. don't get fancy. pretend you're playing against chipmunks and you'll approximate your opponents' skill level. start digging a big hole in your yard to bury all your winnings in.

i love party poker.
