Default Re: How do you make money in SSNL?

I'm currently playing in a place with some amazing crap players, and *very* high "see flop %" rate. In those situations, pair hands (AQ, JJ) are toilet paper. When 7 guys see the flop, more often than not, a pair won't stand up.

In a 30% flop % game, the standard 3x-4x+limpers bb raise is adequate, but not in uber-loose games. Consider raising your JJ/QQ to 6x-8x+limpers when there's limpers behind you. If you just take the blinds, fine. Those hands aren't where the $ comes from. At a 4x raise, you'll get 4-5 callers, and be in a very akward position when the flop comes.

The $ at very low stakes is in doubling up on AA/KK, and on monster hands. Screw AJ. Hello 34s.

Straights and flushes are where it's at. You get odds to make your draws profitable 70% of the time, and sometimes even correct odds to stick around with your bottom pair, ace kicker.

Implied odds for flushes are much better, since a lot of players don't respect the suits on the board, and a lot of players simply can't see straight and flush possibilities.

If you can put someone on anything more then TPTK, and you know you have them beat, push. Two pair will ALWAYS look you up in a $10 game.

Hope that helps.
