Default Re: Seeking advice/input

#1. You would like to play against loose, passive players. So online look for a large percentage seeing the flop. This is available on most sites. I generally try to get an average of at least 30%. If you find one at 40%, sweet. If the games have similar flop percentage, the one with the lower pot size will likely be more passive. That said, you need to keep abreast of the table action while playing. With players coming in and out constantly, the make up can change quickly. One loose player can change the whole table. Once you take your seat, be especially observant to the 2 players to your left and the one to your right. These are the players who will have the most influence on how many and what type of hands you play. If you find an aggressive player in these positions and are not comfortable sitting close to a frequent raiser, find another table...or better yet, learn to take advantage of it.

The other two questions are extemely situational dependant and should be discussed in separate posts. You will get many different viewpoints.
