... i need to know where is it less likely to meet players that are too loose and call/raise with weak hands?
As in title, which would you recommend ? where do less beginners play? Is it 6max?
Im a beginner myself but with a good bankroll management i would like to move up but i need to know where is it less likely to meet players that are too loose and call/raise with weak hands?
Beginners seem to be more comfortable with FR than 6 Max if that's what you're asking. I think it's because there's a lower percentage of action seats. What I mean by this is that most new players feel out of their element and worry about misplaying hands vs more experienced players. Full Ring tables offer more opportunities to just sit back and watch the action if they wish as you only pay the blinds 22% of the hands rather than 33% at 6 Max. This doesn't mean that the FR games are looser by any means, they're not. 6 Max games should be and are alot looser for exactly the reason I mentioned above. Because there are fewer players to act behind in 6 Max, you should be opening with a wider range of hands. Because of this, hand reading becomes much more difficult. IMO playing 6 max requires more experience and skill than FR so if you are just beginning FR is probably a safer bet. But if you're serious about become a well rounded player you should mix in some 6 max and HU sessions as well. You can't learn unless you're occasionally willing to venture outside your comfort zone.
Hope this was helpful. GL
Why would you want to avoid players who play weak hands?
i understand its better to play people that play weaker hands as they will put in their money but the problem is that if they overbet with a weak hand i will most likely fold as i will think they have a strong hand
6 max is less boring for the obvious reasons, but you'll probably find better players there.
No offense, but this is pretty much the definition of weak-tight play, and it makes their highly exploitable play correct strategy against you. If you know that a player is making moves often, then you need to adjust your calling range accordingly. This will mean making some thin calls/raises that you may not be completely sure about, and sometimes maniacs will show up with a real hand and you will lose the pot. But in the long run these are the most profitable opponents you can find and you should seek them out.i understand its better to play people that play weaker hands as they will put in their money but the problem is that if they overbet with a weak hand i will most likely fold as i will think they have a strong hand
