Default Re: Kill Pots VS Maniacs

I'll just repeat what has been said here before: You tighten up.

That is a common fallacy. When your opponents are playing very loosely, it is as though there is extra blind money. This makes more hands playable.

Take a marginal hand like KJo in early position. You muck it against tight players because you will be contesting the pot with hands that tend to be better, and may have KJo dominated. Now add in a bunch of players who play J3s and K7o. Instead of being a marginal fold, KJo becomes a winner.

You can win without playing more loosely, but you won't win as much, and it will be all the more frustrating when that AA you waited for gets cracked.
