1. raise pre-flop.2. if everyone is loose-passive, why in the world are you betting the flop?3. bet the river. semi-direct-quote-from-SSHE: bet your marginal hands for value more often on the river against passive players.what i'm really wondering about is #2. it's like you're being told "these players call and call and call" and yet you bet thinking you can make them fold.i think you need a slap in the face sometimes. aseem

I need tough love.so keep it coming!Would you believe ( think of Maxwell Smart) that I bet the flop for value, an equity play. I'm thinking I'm better than 25% to win against these hands...well..maybe...Is this betterStill no river bet..but should I...I never check it down on flop and turn and river..just did it for you to rip!Pots so small, SSHE says don't put yuorself in a tough decision when the pot is so small...
