Loose Games -EV?
I'm finally going to sleep after a 1200 hand session in which I netted 10.86 BB/100 while responding to various posts on 2+2. The interesting thing is that I noticed last week about 10K hands into my PT stats (I had just started a new database for the limit/site) that I was doing much (300-400%)better at tables where the avg. flop seen was ~24% or below. Since then, I have been specifically targetting "tight" games, and averaging 8 BB/100 (up from my overall of 5.9)
When I think about it, in live play I generally do better when my opponents play better as well. Sure there's the occasional moron who caps your nut flush/house/whatever..and you win a monster pot, but overall I don't really buy the Sklansky-esque idea that you want bad players drawing against you- I think in loose games their combined sucking power can become favorite to a solid player even over a fairly long time. What do you guys think?
