I am looking for guidance in adjusting PF play for a VERY passive table. This means no more than 10% hands raised PF and an average of 6-7 players per hand.

This kind of game that I encountered twice last week live in a 2/4 game. It was so passive that people were not raising AK and KK that they showed later. I knew that I could add some hands to my minimum play, but wondered how others would handle the same type of play and conditions. How low do you go in terms of adding flush hands to your playable list pre-flop? Our books tell us what to do for typical loose play but leave it open where we encounter particularly passive play. What are your cut off points in terms of minimum hand and position?

What you will realize eventually is that a hand like K4s is not good vs 5 players. It is good vs 5 (or 3) (or 2) extremely loose players, who are playing hands like 104o.

If you pay attention, within an hour or two you will have an idea of their hand range just based on play frequency. Then you will know. So if semi tight lady (playes 24% of her hands) limps in, and 2 play every hand guys limps in (plays 80%) K4s might not be worth a play. Without the semi tight lady, it is. You have to watch them in deciding what hands you want to play. These are tools to use.
