[Still the Spank E]

In loose games I like to wait for several callers before limping with suited connectors--at least 3--and only then if I can limp in. Otherwise, the implied value begins to go down as more chips get placed in the center, there are fewer remaining for bets on future rounds. I'll also limp with any pocket pair from anywhere, anytime. Again, I'm looking to get in cheap and hit my hand in a game loose enough to ensure I should see a couple of people still around by the turn. All scenarios, however, require the discipline to GET OUT if you don't make either your set or an open-ended (2 card) straight or flush draw (still requiring a couple of callers to be profitable). Do not continue past the flop without EXCELLENT reasons to so do. It'll only cost you money otherwise.
