I'm a long term lurker to this board and have gained a lot of knowledge by reading these boards. So first of all, I want to say thank you.
My question today pertains to very loose tables. I am a successful micro limit player but have had trouble playing the ultra loose tables lately. You know, the ones with people calling raises with any two suited cards, any ace, pair etc. This is bad to say but even when I have AK and the flop comes A 6 3 rainbow, I almost expect to lose somehow. Believe me, I know and understand the +EV of a loose player. I love having a few loose players on my table and of course would prefer that over a relatively tight table (think low limit at UB). But some of these ultra loose tables seem diffucult to beat at times. I resist playing hands like AQo,AJo,KQo,KJo and like to play hands like Axs,JTs,98s and of course the very high pairs AA and KK. So anyway what exactly is the optimal amount of players you like to see the flop? The more the better or something more reasonable, say 5 or 6. Personally, I think 5 is optimal. Obviously, the numbers vary by the type of hand you have.
Thanks
