Party 5/10, fun with 6-2 offsuit

[SinCityGuy]

Party 5/10, decent game with 3 horrible loose/passive players and a bunch of weak/tight players. I post in the CO.

Folded around to a new player who posted in the hijack seat. He checks. He must not like his hand very much. I have 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the CO. The button, SB and BB are weak/tight. I raise.

Comments?

I am sure you ended up winning, but I think this is chip spewing mainly....

I used to think this way, also. Then I began to think more about dead money and position.

I like it, you win often enough right away for it to make $$

I understand the preflop play, but what's the plan on the flop if called by the BB or poster or both and it's checked to you? Is this one of those times where you're not putting in anymore money if the raise doesn't fold them aand you don't hit a good flop?

That's a completely different scenerio. He was the only poster and he didn't give any reads on the button, SB or BB.

In my example, it was folded to dead money in the hijack and I had weak/tight opponents on the button, SB and BB. I only have to get everyone to fold 22% of the time to show an immediate profit, and I'll also win a certain % of the time with a bet on the flop.

No, against these guys (who are afraid of their own shadow), I'll take it down with a flop bet a good % of the time.
