[Post-Oak]

I think this thread highlights why some of the advice on this forum is not so good. You need to be able to adapt your game to best fit the current game conditions. Your strategy should change based upon the conditions of the game you are currently playing. This is of course very basic advice, but many posters have robotic responses which they use in any and all situations.

The game described sounds like a low stakes game with many unskilled, loose players. First of all, the OP just doubled up and now has 86BB. Is the buy in capped at 50BB or something?

The OP has described the game as "very loose". 6 people saw the flop on this hand. There is a bet and a raise and 4 people are still seeing the turn.

Do you think they all have monster draws or made hands?

In this game, you should limp with TT preflop most of the time. You should especially limp with TT when early position players have already limped. They are not likely to fold to a 6X the BB raise.

Has anyone here every played at a low limit NL table, or did you all start as rigid bots who only play deep stacked NL against good players?

Just to note, BobboFritos is giving an incorrect description of the game conditions in the thread where we discussed whether to limp or raise most of the time with TT in a specific game situation. You can read that thread if you want more info.
