    This is a home game buddy.  First of all, you wont see that many hands in one night, and might not even get a big pair.  By playing lots of hand, you give yourself a chance to hit more flops.  You can it trips, a straight, a flush with 5-8 suited.  You gotta give yourself has many chances as possible to hit something big on the flop, and you'll usually get paid off for your big hands.
    It'll also leave you broke more often then not
    OK now im CONFUZZLED..i need to play a few more hands but no way as many as that guys talking about?

    If your problem is that when you enter a pot you always get callers, its safe to assume that the other players don't recognize your pre-flop raises as a real threat.  i dont think its that they dont see it as a threat.. They know i have a better hand but think theres will hit and mine wont. I think they just dont care.I may be reading into this but you sound frustrated you can't bluff them.  If that's the case, don't bluff.  Wait for cards and then be aggressive
    I almost never bluff them..To answer another ?I usually fold if i dont have atleast top pair

    should i loosen up a bit since im usually low stack mainly from blinds as they raise every 20 min?sometimes its takes an hour before i can really get a decent pot?i know i cant bluff them but should i just give up on a big hand that doesnt hit.. or pay a small or big price to see anohter card?

    I really think it would be a good idea for a Topic called "Home Game Strategy"for a whole strategy on playing your friends in home games.It seems as though theres a ton of ppl now in the same stituation as im inIm either falling apart or in a slump... but what i know for sure is i need some advice

    the only things thats common is the number of ppl in a hand is always more than their should b..ive heard that going all in with a premium hand such and KK , AK, or AQ, QQ when your now on a short stack knowing id prob get atleast one caller is a bad move and puts it into lucks hands.Sound right?

    Topic: NL Texas HoldemPlayers: A Bunch of Friends Its starting to get tough playing against these pplI used to be able to atleast always get second when they were all really bad players but now most of them are in the middle and very unpredictable.Ill raise 4x bb and usually get atleast 2 callers... And it just so happens even when i hit i know someone has me beat with a straight or flush, trips, whatever.I tried raising more but if i dont hit i cant bluff these guys so im done a ton.Do you think it would be a good move to raise onlye maybe like 2x or 3x the BB so ill prob get the same # of callers with less invested in the pot when i know i prob have the best hand?The blinds raise quickly i get stuck on the low stack waiting for good hands so should i also loosen up a bit..And if I should loosen up should i only call with the mediocre handsThis problem has hit me the last ... prbably 4 tournaments weve played. Yesterday's the earliest we played a 12 man tournyI was in a bad position most of the game when i doubled up by getting lucky... still wasnt to high of a stackthen i ended up going all in with AK of diamonds on the one of the low stacks (had $25... blinds were 2 and 4 dollaars and raising soon)(but for some reason i think i only should have raised) with 3 ppl left to act I got 2 callers... first one with ace 6 and the other with pocket tens... the tens won it when they hit trips... the tourny was a huge payout too!Few other things that happened that may have contributed to my low stack was getting pocket kings... rasing alot and getting called with ace 4 (they'll play any ace)... sure enough an ace hit and it took a nice chunk outta me although i folded before the turn. (bet and got raised a TON)I just need an Overall strategy... i think im too tight in my opinion though

    I have a recomendation, Forget about poker till your out of high school. In the mean time, pay attention in English class and maybe you will learn how to put a sentence together.
    lol, couldnt agree more
    Like I really give a crap about my sentence structure.Its easy enough to read and im not getting critiqued on it or anything...I just asked a question about poker, and I'm not askin my English teacher!Everyone plays poker now .... Even like 5th graders... You just have to accept that.
    What's a real pro table?
    what i meant by a real pro table was just playing vs good players..... wasnt too impt so i prob didnt take the time to word it right... you know, cuz ima immatere teanajer whu kant put a sintince 2gether.
    If you aren't bluffing, why would you want them to respect your bets or raises?
    Well some i can bluff and some i cant... i just need to treat each situation seperatly.Clear Things Up A Bit!

    Anyone have any good info on playing vs. your friends who play too many hands, mess up by trying to bluff other loose players, but have been observing your tight style and are becoming atleast a little bit better.See they used to be all very loose and play every hand... from watching me take their money and watching it on tv, I think they are starting to be in the middle between being a horrible player, and being an OKAY player.Now when i say okay i mean okay for someone whos only been playing 1 year, once a week. And who would get BLOWN OUT at a real pro table.See they used to be all loose and me kinds knowing what i was doing... Now its a spread around... some are trying new techniques and other arents. No matter what most of them never seem to respect my bet/raise. :club: But i know you never bluff a ultra loose player but i works on some now since they wised up a bit.Its getting kinda confusing... im still almost always in the money but im getting i guess a little worriedAny Good Sites for this kinda play (home games)

    did i play this wrong (probably)
