Frustration - Tired of the LPP idiot crowd

[bdohaney]

Wow. Thank you all. You've all given me a lot of good advice to work with here. Personally, I think the biggest part is the part of "getting used to playing online", usually in MTTs, no less. So, I will definitely work on those things in my home game (and others in the area), no bluffing (until I stop being able to get any action), loosen my starting requirements, stop trying to cont. bet hands like AK, when the flop misses, relax and be more patient.

PArt of being a good home game player is changing gears from what is considered to be textbook proper play. Because of the overall lack of hands played, focus on the short term. Play hands that hit flops (by that I mean play SC and Suited Paint). Even play unsuited connectors in late position. Play ultra LAGgy. Focus less on the long term, more abbout the short term.

JTs is a better hand early than TT because of the draws it can generate. TT is still a better hand late.

Value bet the holy hell out of these donks. Value bet small even with second pair on the river if you don't detect two pair or better. They will call. Employ the blocking bet OOP here to keep top pair from betting larger.

Like others have said, don't bluff. Play ABC poker.

Watch your draws. Call bets when you don't seem to have pot odds, as long as your implied odds (money you will win should you hit your hand) are correct.

If there's a rebuy, go ahead and get allin with TPGK *and* an OESD or a nut/second nut flush draw. Yes, you will bust sometimes but you'll also get paid off when it hits or holds up.

Straights mess these guys up, don't forget to discount the two outs if you're on a straight and someone is on a flush draw.

these are the esiest tpe of players to play. You have to remember your not oing to win every tournament. You also will not make the cash every tournament. You goal if this is a weekly or regular tourney is to make moneyso if win 1000 this week in a 100$ buy and you go 5 more times before you get in the money and you win say 600 for 2nd this timeyou have won 1600 and paid 600 to enter the game so you up a 1000$. I too play in a few games games like this you just have to keep your head up and keep playing your best. For gods sake don't ever try to bluff them and make bets that they will call easily. Als I suggest watching when they raise usualy when these types raise they have a very premium hand.
