What the fudge am I doing wrong (in low stakes cash games)?

[jwlaw35]

that's poker.. many highs and many lows.. what I been trying to do is not risk a lot so when I get in these little stakes games I know its going to be some what loose.. and hell any hand can win.. I buy in for table min and when I get it to double I switch to another table.. tight is key.. Don't push the issue a lot and let the hands come to you. No need to be all in with AK or 22 preflop.. I hate the most about it is that the aggressive loose style confuses me.. like how is the guy raising preflop with 84s hitting huge hands?? One thing to consider is if you are not in a position to re raise the raiser then just fold and get on to the next hand

Cash games are simply more difficult than tournaments. And they require a much different strategy because there are zero ICM implications. 2NL cash online is honestly more difficult than $1/$2 NL live. But it is still the easiest and most beatable cash game online. Many players can beat that stake for over 10bb/100.

My advice would be to put some time in to studying.

I'm extremely familiar with the 2NLzoom pool and can give you some basic info on the overall play style there:

PreFlop re-raises(3-bets) are extremely value heavy (AKo+,JJ+). You can exploit this by folding lots vs them when you are behind their range OOP, and when you have little equity vs their range IP.

The river bets in that pool are also EXTREMELY value heavy, probably 10:1 value:bluff. Maybe even more. It's easy to exploit them OTR with lots of river folds.
2NL online is still, to this day, ultra soft.

JMHO

You're losing me with some of the abbreviations lol. What's ICM? OOP? IP?

OTR, I assume is on the river based on context

OTR, I assume is on the river based on context

ICM = Independent Chip Model
OOP = Out of Position
IP = In Position
OTR = On the River

agree

I agree the old first of these sites which had hundreds of free rolls a day which means went all in till u won and had a large stack then tried to get into the money lol hard to switch to a more legit game and get into a more normal game with skilled players
