Re: Bad Players = Hard to Beat????
The issue about playing with loose-passive players is that making plays against them just doesn't work. To the skilled player it can be like fighting with one hand tied behind your back, because half or more of the moves you usually use to take pots down don't work when the LPP is in the game.
The answer is, if the other guy is too dumb to fold to your check-raise bluff when the low card on the flop pairs on the turn, just don't make that play. You're going to have to show down the best hand to win. Meanwhile, LPP's presence in a lot of pots mean that you are more often getting a good price to chase draws. You can use LPP's passivity as a tool to get free cards when you need one, or to get more money into a pot when you have a good hand.
Bottom line, you have to play a different game when LPPs are at the table than when they aren't, and you have to know how to play that game.
