Default Re: Keeping fishies around

The game isn't PP, its live 2/2 (no difference, I guess).

The paragraph/page in question is on page 159 and says:

"So, how do you apply the previous concepts to a very good hold'em game? That is, in a loose, passive game where many people see the flop and then play poorly after that. You should:

1. Play more hands than you would if the players were better, especially if you can get in for a single bet.
2. Frequently keep it to a single bet before the flop more than most people think because you gain a lot when bad players make incorrect calls on the flop and beyond, as long is the pot is kept small."

And so on. My mistake is obviously playing waaay too slow on the flop and throughout, as I kept hearing in my head "keep them all in" and before I knew it, the river was dealt. Poor postflop play by me (thanks to all who jumped in to point that out), although in relation to HEPFAP, I think the preflop limp in EP has merit. In LP I can't wait to raise the table, though.
