The situations you cite are very common at the ultra-loose table. And they are very easy to play: fold.

Just because you start in the lead doesn't mean that you are entitled to the pot.

Right on the money. Play hands with great implied odds. When you hit them (for sets, flushes, nice draws), bet them. When you don't, fold.

I think this is right on the mark, Bob. If you have that many callers, as Dynasty suggests, hitting your one pair on the turn isn't going to make you that comforatble. I have used your strategy often. When I raise pre-flop and don't thin the field, I often surrender on the turn if I haven't hit, or haven't picked up other draws. One strategy I use is to call pre-flop with unsuited big cards against a large field, and then need some kind of back-door draw to continue after the flop if all I have are overcards.

pushing overcards in an ultra-loose game is -EV, and its not even close.

And if you're playing fairly tight, they may figure "uh oh the rock just raised on the flop and now he's betting the turn, better fold".

Are you reading the right thread?

nowhere that I've seen is there talking about not getting action in ultra-loose games.

Seems we're all talking about the exact opposite.
