I'm used to playing online where the tables are generally tight with the exception of one or two players everyonce in a while being loose or just plain bad.
However at my local casino I was playing a $4/$8 limit holdem game and besides me there was one maybe two other solid players everyone else was just plain bad.
I only won one pot, two if you count the one I split.
In the split pot im in BB with K9o flop comes K72. I bet and get three callers. The turn is a jack. I bet again and get two callers. The river is a 2. I bet and get raised by UTG other player folds and I call. He has K3o and we split the pot. The other player commented, "good raise I had k3 also".
In the hand I actually won, and got paid off nicely, I was in small blind with 53 of hearts and I flopped a flush. My flop bet got called by several players and was called to the river by J4o (bottom pair and flush draw)
Bad beats included, me in BB with T2o and flop comes TT6 I bet and get 3 or 4 callers. Turn was 9 so I check fearing better ten or maybe straight or something but everyone else checks behind. River is queen I bet all but one folds who calls and turns over KJ for a straight.
AA second to act and i raise player a few seats from me peeks at his cards and his eyes lit up and he calls. Flop is 522. I bet he raises so I'm puting him on over pair of some kind but to play it safe i just call down. He has Q2 suited.
Last hand for the night I have KK UTG and raise. I get two or three callers. CO calls with 96o and BB calls 95o and they split pot when board reads 9948Q.
I saw many people catching cards with bad hands like T4o 82s 94s basically any two suited cards but i can remember 82 making two pair, T4o (from the button) making a wheel. T6 calling with bottom pair making trips on the river.
At a table this loose you cant except your pairs to hold up. You can against maybe one or two such players but when there are 3 or 4 calling down they are going to suckout much of the time.
So is it best to play alot of drawing hands suited connectors and such since straights and flushes seem to be the big money winners at a table like that. And treat AA and KK like a drawing hand (drawing to a full house)?
