Stars 5/10NL game is soft
 

So, I'm screwing around with the little bit of money I have at stars, decide to buy in for the min. at 5/10NL. First time I got up to 400, and a guy called a 375 dollar raise preflop with AQo. Then I rebuy for a couple hundred more and this hand comes up...lots of loose calls preflop in this game..BBuddy had Q5

you know what's funny? this is absolutely the #1 factor contributing to the game being soft.

Re: Stars 5/10NL game is soft
 

You lost $375, why the over-bet? KK? I'd never toss my whole stack in PF, that is bad NL player move...

Only a premium hand can call that, AQ is premium to some people and they shot you down...

At first I thought you were the Q5 moron player... YIKES!

... what the hell were u holding? TT is all I can think of, and that's not really a good all-in preflop hand.

Re: Stars 5/10NL game is soft
 

remember that hes shortstacked and he hasnt giving us any information about what hands B buddy normally raise 10BB with preflop. It could be a good move to move in witt any medium sized PP and perhaps AK to AT or it could be disaster to move in with anyting but AA.

I call 100% of the time with min-buy in wusses with AQ

No, the number one factor to the game being soft is people making negative EV plays.

It's a popular misnomer that buying in for a short-stack leads to a significant disadvantage.

The 375 dollar overbet was due to the fact that:

A: I was out of position

B: There were a number of players then a raise to 40 by a very poor player

C: I had QQ

I had Ax, point is the raise out of the SB is a pretty common steal move since noone will likely call with less than a premium hand.
