buy in for loose games vs tight games.

Why would it matter? Just make sure you have at least 12 BBs at all times.

Not enough, you want to make sure you have everyone, or almost everyone at the table covered.

This is true if they have a "no-cap" policy. If online, 12BB is a good minimum. Here is why.

I raise, sb 3 bets, I cap.

HU to flop I have KK

Flop K J 8

bet, I raise, sb calls

Turn

K J 8 8

sb bets 10, I bet 20, sb 30, I 40, sb 50, I 60, sb 70, I 80, sb 90, I 100, sb calls.

turn 4

I bet, sb calls

I show KK, he mucks.

This player was god awful, he might ahve had AK here, or AA, or just a solitary 8.

Make sure you don't go all in if some retard wants to give you $$$
