A fishy table

firedawg · #1 01-10-2005, 05:33 PM

Is playing at a table crammed with fish, (6 or more with 55% vpip, less than 3 pfr) -EV. Can you really expect to win off of these suckers. 3 of them are above 70 vpip. Can you really expect ot beat them consistently, can a table be too fishy? I have been getting my ass kicked after an hour and a half with these guys. Comments?

A table can never be too fishy. Wait for good cards. Stick it out. You can make a killing in just one sitting if you get the cards.

I will gladly take your place at this table.

It is likely a very profitable table.

Everytime they play a junk hand when you are in they are making you money.

That said, playing at these kinds of tables can be very frustrating. Some days you will get killed, and others you will be on top of the world. In the long run, you will be ahead. A lot.

VALUE BET, VALUE BET, VALUE BET!

Yeah having 9 100% VP$IP fish at a table isn't optimal. Take away one replace him with the 100 PFR% maniac and now we have ourselves a table.

Should I go with the loose table from SSH or should i base it on reads?

What's the ideal seat here? Immediately to his left or directly across the table?
