Re: loose live games

That's what I mean - if you take a chance with odd things like pairs or high suited connectors (with good low backup)

The problem with high suited connectors is you really need the board to pair for it to be profitable. Top trips may win, but if it does its almost certainly splitting with low. If there is no low there's a high straight to beat you. Really the playable hands in these games are A2, A3, and 23 with any two sidecards, IMHO. Not saying I won't play high hands like KKQJ, but something like KK25 just isn't worth it. For the most part though I just play for the lock low and stumble into high once in awhile. I'm not saying playing high only hands isn't profitable, however it will definitly up your variance.
