today i played 1-2NL 5 hours in my local casino. The game was fucking soooo soft that at least 5 ppl limped in and saw the flop like its their job in every single hand. I got dealt cold cards for almost the whole afternoon but still managed to win $75 (only AQ twice, QQ JJ once) I guess i really missed lots of goldmine opportunities and folded too much preflop .Yeah, i did use my positions to pwn some weak donks postflop a few times but didnt win any big pots whatsoever. Also, ppl were not scared to pay $15 more to see the flop whenever you raised something preflop and tried to steal the pot. If i didnt fold so many junk sooted cards, i 'd make more than 4 buy-ins cuz i did hit some weak flush, weak straight and weird flopped two pairs and my opponents were just too bad, always overvalued any top pair hands, always led out tiny bet with shit in multiway pots and fucking paid off huge like cash machines.
Do you guys advocate limping in a lot with speculative cards in late positions instead of raising for isolation ? I was amazed to see some loose limper win total $700 with 23s this afternoon. Crap, i probably played too much online tight aggressive poker lately and forgot to apply much lower preflop/postflop standards to live games.
