How well does a semi-bluff or bluff work in your home game. Are there a lot of good laydowns?

Bluffs and semi-bluffs are okay if you follow my initial advice. However, string bets definitely don't work in the home games I play.

Just watch that episode of Tilt for an idea of how it would go down.

Semi-bluffs and bluffs can work against some of the players, but since they are all so loose, it would take a big raise (players are mostly unwilling to laydown). And that's the problem, because I don't start with enough chips to play aggressively with. One call or reraise against my bluff would ruin my stack.

JC, IMHO, I believe Morgan was insinuating that your buddies would recognize that there is such a short stack that they should tighten up. If that's not the case, and they loosen up...

Well, some general thoughts going into the first hand. Play the opposite of what the table is doing. If they're loose, be tight. If they're tight, play loose. Then watch for changes, and alter accordingly. It's important to recgonize a change as soon as possible!
