If they're really fish and you're not bring more money. You'll win gigantic pots and easily make up for what you're losing. Just be sure that you are playing well.

If the table is passive with everyone seeing the flop you have to open up your game.

Correct me if I am wrong people but...
any pair now becomes playable UTG for the set.
raise in position into tons of callers with strong drawing hands since they will be sure to pay you off when you hit and not put you on that hand.
Axs becomce playable more now.
Suited connectors become more playable upfront since you are guaranteed 5+ action.

Try this page. It was very enlightening to me. Pokerstove proved his points about loose games.

'these fish cleaned me out in 2 hrs time' is a pretty clear sign that the problem is you, not them. It's been said, buy and read SSHE. Then read it again.

It's pretty easy to get cleaned out by a table full of fish in two hours in a live game (well, I guess that depends on how much you brought to the table). The hard part is sticking around more than two hours so you finally win a few ginormous pots to make up for two hours of steady bleeding!

*grunch*

There used to be a B&M like this within walking distance of my apartment. I played there nearly every day it was open, sometimes staying until five in the morning even on a work night. That casino closing was the worst thing that ever happened to my bankroll.

You will make the standard 1 BB/hr or so. However, it comes in the form of the occasional 10-30BB pot that compensates you for the parade of suckouts it took to get there. You'll go for hours where it seems like you get either unplayable hands or playable hands that miss flops. Then you raise AA on the button, flop a set and lose to a runner-runner straight. But then eventually you have KK, flop kings full and get paid off by six people, or you crack someone else's AA with a small pair because the pot was six-handed when it got to you.

These games can be beaten, and for a lot, but the variance is gross, and it's even more annoying when you can't multitable. It's not unthinkable to drop 30BB in four hours in this type of game, but it's also not unthinkable to win that much in two hours either.

It's a sign, but not a guarantee. It's actually not very hard to drop 20-40BBs in these games before winning a pot, and it's not very hard to go 2 hours without winning a pot when everyone is going to the river except you.

EDIT: I think bringing less than $400 to this type of 3/6 game is a mistake, especially if going to the ATM will put you on tilt like it used to do to me.
