Hi EricE. Thanks for your post.
You're right! Of course these fishy tables can be beaten and I guess it takes a different style.
My favourite tables are six player NL cash tables, max buy0in $200 and blinds 1/2. With two loose fish and two tight players on such tables, I usually clean up. The problem I encounter is when everyone is loose, ie when I make standard raise preflop, say 4 or 5 x bb, everyone calls - there is no respect for position and raises. This is when I have problems as many of these players don't fold but routinely see the turn, even in response to a large bet. I know that optimum strategy is to get the best hand and bet it hard but all too often they call and hit something.
Usually I scamper off and find another table but sometimes this type of table is all I can find. Many of my opponents are British or European (Scandinavian in particular) and these players are notoriously difficult to make fold.
If you can suggest a style, I'd be ever so grateful.
