I don\'t know if I\'m good or not, can somebody help?
Ok, this may seem like a very weird post, but I'm really not sure if I'm good or just lucky.
First, let me start off that I'm primarily a MTT player, and have just began my journey into NL cash games (i tried limit, but it was too stressful) Anyways, I have been playing the $500 NL at Paradise. My cash game strategy is extremely different from my MTT strategy, and I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. For example, in cash games i frequently call raises (not big ones, and usually when the pot is multi-way) with junk hands like 79s, J10s, that I would fold in a MTT. I also open with alot of hands like this. I don't do this with hands like K3o, or A4o though, only suited connectors/gappers, and sometimes offsuit. Anyway, my thinking is that the implied odds from hitting with these hands are huge, and since i started NL cash games, I have been doing pretty decent. I'm just not sure if my loose preflop standards are costing me money, and if I've been getting lucky lately or not. |

calling raises with those hands doesn't neccessarily make you a bad player, some people can do this correctly (not me),
in conclusion, i don't know if you are good or just lucky |

Against the right opponents, calling raises with suited connectors / marginal hands can have huge implied odds - such as against the guy who won't lay down overpairs.
