Help???

I know I'm not the only one dealing with this problem. It seems that half of the players at these low limit tables will play anything even against raises, reraises, and check-raises. I do win some nice pots, but the progress slow! Any suggestions(if there are any)?

Thank them, in fact encourage it with "nh" and "nice play". I'm serious.

It is annoying to wait for hands to play against people who play anything. Remember, you're better than they are. Play hands that play well multi-way. You have to grind it out in limit anyway. You won't get rich overnight. But these are the people you want to play against.

I never chat. Do really mean that? I really want to reach through there and strangle them!

I tell myself that every time. So far I'm sticking to SSHE play. Thanks for the support.

Where do your winnings come from? They come from the bad play of others. We can all win when we are hot-decked, but winning consistently requires more than just flopping boats. Remember that when you get sucked out on, it's cause you were putting your money in with the best hand.

Someone gave me a tip when I was a n00b, try to think in terms of 'Sklansky bucks'. Make the right plays, and don't dwell too much on the outcome. It's hard as hell, I'm not gonna lie, but it will make you a better player. I'll throw up my .5/1 winnings chart in a minute, and take a look at how swingy it is, and this is just .5/1! The main thing is that is IS GOING UP. Try and find the post about compairing yourself to the casino. You are the house, eventually all the money ends up in your hands. The suckers have to win sometimes, or they wouldn't play. <----Blatantly stolen content here.

Thanks Nate! I'll look for the post.

The benefit of Sklansky bucks is that you can rub them all over your body, like you're drowning in invisible money- theoretical money is so hot.

Yeah, stay at the table. You want people calling 4 bets with 92s. You make your money off the fish- stay away from da sharks.

Am I missing something? Slansky Bucks???
