Default You guys fold faster than a........

What should I say at a tight table that folds to everything. Like sometimes I rasie and the fold button is prechecked so the table folds in like 3 seconds. What should I say to loosen up the table or to alteast create some talk.

P.S. Do not say find a new table, that is not what I am asking.

Not much you can do really.

You will have to spend some money to loosen it up. You may steal some blinds in the process, but it could be more trouble than it's worth.

I know you don't want to hear this, but the answer really is to find a new table.

Raise with utter crap a few times and then when everyone folds show your hand. Do that a couple of times and you will be sure to get callers.

probably the best thing you can do for the situation... it'll either break your table or they will start playing looser

Why not just keep raising and not showing?

while tight predictable opponents may not be the most profitable opponents, they are probably the easiest to deal with.

I don't understand the problem really. If your table is that tight, and it's passive, you are not in that bad of a situation really. Don't go crazy stealing every single pot but you should be stealing a lot and you should be profiting from that nicely. If they begin to adjust then you can adjust and tone it down (if you feel like it).

I know it's uncomfortable to play at these tables but you can make money... you just have to be willing to raise J8o and other such fine hands. And then you need to be willing to play them post-flop. If you are uncomfortable doing this then you should probably find another table (if possible).

online you shouldn't need to worry about loosening up a tight table. There are thousands of other tables, get a better one. In a live game it would have a purpose.
