Rasing more when the players are extremely bad
Hello,
In a loose game, according to Sklansky & Malmuth, in general you should not raise with offsuit hand except AK. But what if the players are extremely bad? That means they cold-call raise with any Ax, Kx, Qx, connector (up to 3 gappers,) suited cards, and pair. In other words, if you raise with AQo, you'll get called by a hand that has a little chance to win against AQ (like Q7.) Thanks Soh |

Re: Rasing more when the players are extremely bad
Generally speaking, in a full-handed loose-passive game and from early position, very clear cut raises are with AA, KK, QQ, AK, and AQs. Hands you can also but need not necessarily raise with are JJ, AQo, AJs, and KQs - whatever suits your style. You could perhaps also raise with TT, AJo and KQo, but overall itīs better to just call with these.

Re: Rasing more when the players are extremely bad
I'm not sure this is the right answer, so anyone please correct me if I'm of base here:
It seems to me that in very loose passive games you often want to see the flop cheap. Sure your AQo is favorite against Q7, but with family pots your AQo might not be favorite against your opponents combined, since often one of them will hit the flop with their marginal holdings. I prefer to do my raising after the flop, to push them to make hard descisions and to make the calling stations pay me of. |
