Did you all ever see that episode of poker on TV, where a homeless guy won a seat to a final table? He was just thrilled to be there, so he thought he'd have fun. He raised a hand in the dark and ended up agitating one pro so much, the pro called him with Jack High---

That sounds ideal, but that is the nightmare I feel as though I am in.

I'm making money in limit hold em, sure. But am I maximizing my profit? Hell no. WTF are these assholes thinking? I've got A-Q, bet on every street, (check-raise on the turn) and am called the whole way by 6-8 that makes a pair of 8s on the end.

ARGH!

And then when I do get monster hands, will I get any action? No, these calling stations will just call call call. Reraise isn't in their vocabulary (unless of course they have unimproved wired nines with 2 overs on the board.....)

Their play is completely inexplicable to me. I can't be aggressive, because the dumbasses will never fold. But if I just camp for good hands...while, I might as well play NL and maximize my profit on camping.

Okay, rant over. At any rate, help me. I know there is money to be made here, but what is the best strategy? Aggression on a dangerous board seems out, because they'll call any old crap. But if I wanted to just camp, why not play NL? Help me out here, I'm getting frustrated, but definitely want to learn.

He called me with jack high!
