playing weak tables...
requires a whole different skill-set than playing TAG-fish...

I'm playing everest 50nl and the level of play there is overall weak - especially at weekends!, but I'm losing. While at the same time I'm comfortably ahead at the allegedly tougher full tilt. Some of the things I need to re-learn are the very things I had to evolve from while moving up from 5nl to where I am now (50nl, sometimes 100nl), others the same but exaggerated.

Anyway, I'm only 8-tabling at the moment and I'm well caffeined , so time to collect some scattered thoughts

In weak games, don't bother with things like:
* defending blinds (almost nobody is stealing, forget about them)
* assigning tight ranges - people play 79s cos they like it, don't discount hands from ranges.
* appropriate c-bet sizing, no need. C-bet 10% of pot and the auto folders still fold
* bothering to keep betsizing consistent to mask your range - nobody is noticing
* thinking that people aren't stupid enough to call pot-sized bets with gutshots, of course they will
* betting for value on the river, don't bother. Push for value, people love to call
* playing a classically tag range - 18-8 will work fine

in weak games:
* distinguish autofolders from autocallers
* position is even more than everything - button abuse, it's even more important. Limp along with 79s!
* suckouts and tilt control are the name of the game- the fishier the players the harder the suckouts. Gotta be tough and over-rolled
* trust strong play to be what it represents itself as
* don't bother trying to represent any kind of weakness to induce action, they won't auto steal the pot on a checked turn
* your edge pre-flop is often discounted by schooling - your edge postflop is huge - especially the abilities to fold and to call with pot odds. Postflop is where the money is to be made
* double-barrel less
