The game is 1/2, .50 ante, .50 bringin. Yeah, the structure is bad, but the players are even worse, so it's okay. Example: My hand is (T)TJJJ, and a flush caps me on the river.

Basic notes I have:

Auto raise high card.
Auto bet high until you get played back at.
Not sure what to do with hidden high cards, really.
With the ante, I do play stuff like QT even with an A and a K showing...think it's okay if I can dump on 3rd/4th.
I've found that being deceptive with a pair is more valuable than raising with it...silly thinking?
Never, ever bet your board on 5th. I see people doing this all the time.
Always pay off on 5th. Not sure about this, but I have caught some people bluffing. I think this is one of the biggest profit centers; if you can bring yourself to fold when you know they have it. But do you become a target then?

I realize this would get me killed in a tough game, but what about a really loose, passive one?
