Friends, I wonder if there is any possibility of being a loose passive smart player? Would you like to know advanced strategies of this style?
What I most admire in a player with this style is that he rarely bluffs.

Isn't the problem with being loose-passive that you never have the initiative and basically no fold equity?

Loose passive preflop, if you hit a hand on the Flop, aggression without pity and without mercy.

I fall into this style when I am tired or having outside issues intrude, I have to agree with Omahahahaha, I think this is a "style" to avoid. Only speaking from my limited experience.

I'm play more tight, if there's anyone passive, what will fold for a big bet, I will play more loose and bluff some hands.

When I am deep, I usually play more loose, ex. If I double my chips I will change may game to explore others.

But is necessary attention, fold is the best way to save chips, bluff with careful, on mtt we can't win in the first hand, but can lose, in the cash game you can reload, but it's difficulty recovery you money after some reloads.

I think one of the most important firstfruits of poker is you learn to pair Aces against a tight aggressive player, we must understand that despite being a pair of Aces, a pair is the weakest poker game. I'm beginning to understand that there is no winning card in poker. All cards are winning! as long as you play well with all of them, of course I will not go out playing any 72nd every now and again, depending on my stack of chips, and the way I play with 72o can become very profitable for an aggressive Loose player. Playing 72o for value, suppose I'm holding 72o of the hijack, all opponents Fold the action comes to me and I resolve to give a small Raise betting 2 × BB, the Button resolves to give Call, SB Fold, BB Call, Flop turns 7Q2 , on a Flop like that playing 72nd puts me in a very favorable condition to win that pot.

The problem is the chances of flopping two pair is 1 to 49. Chances of flopping a set is 1 to 7.5. Also bottom two pair is a weak hand that often get counterfeited by the board. Loose aggressive and skilled is a profitable playing style especially against sharks. The thing about poker is you need to calibrate yourself to whatever situation you are in. I say avoid loose passive you are forced to call probably when your opponent has better kicker,and you let them draw out having no fold equity. Loose passive might work but only in specific places in MTT like bubble with a big stack.

I think it's a very predictable game.

Paying to see the flop does not guarantee that you will see the flop every time, you lose more than you earn by doing this.

It's a gear thant can be used.

This is a losing player if that's all they are. Against the right player because that's what poker is all about then loose and passive is great if your smart and flop say top 2 pair on a bunk board or set in position and let the the player hang himself with his bet when you got the goods. Otherwise it's what it seems loose and passive it's not smart overall play your loose with say j-8 off suit you flop and 8-j-4 suited and check or flop j-2-9 and and fold to weak players that may or may not have it because your weak and passive.

No one can be a winning player by being loose passive. That's the worse combination possible. If you think you can be loose passive preflop and get aggressive postflop you are dreaming. You'll no be getting action and you'll be losing to the rake of $10-$12/hour like all other limpers. If you think that hitting the flop first before you get aggressive you are dreaming once more. That doesn't work. Obviously you don't understand lots of things about how this game works.

In normal case, you are pissing on your BB/100 statistics for being loose passive, unless you run extremely good. You can go passive against tight players, but problem is that you gotta find perfect table and it is hard since there are usually many player types in one. Not to mention that good players are adapting their tactics against you.

It is amazing how complicated game can get even though there are only 52 cards.

loose passive is the most common style at most casinos including my own. the best strategy is actually LAG , or loose aggressive. intuitively, aggressive players have additional equity, including fold equity.

No way, No, No, No ...

You don't know. Obviously you don't know, yet ..,
If you have lose passive players at your table you don't beat them by being LAG. You don't want them to fold preflop. When you raise you do it for other reasons and all those reasons has got to dovetail into your postflop strategy. And being simply LAG preflop will not do the trick.
