I was playing a cash game the other night at my house, the players were loose as ****, with 5 of us, and 3 of them would straddle at a time, doubling the previous straddle. They were limping everything inc 72os, and raising any face card. Anyway, as the night went on i went from a £5 stack up to £50 while they all got slaughtered, and they started berrating me for my tight play and folds, calling me a nit. I made some good folds that night, but also some very bad ones where everyone was in the pot and i folded top pair when the texture of the board was dodgy. I've always figured bad folds are less costly than bad calls, but everyone was telling me i was being way too tight by laying down hands like k8.
What I was wondering is on a shorthanded loose table, should I fold things like middle/top pair, when they were calling my bets with bottom pair or ace high? Oh and should i attempt bluffs? I lost about £15 at the end making some bluffs to be less predictable, one guy called cause he said he was on tilt.
Thanks for your opinions, and sorry im so longwinded
