Nuts or Rags?

demondave

Having played on Sky for some years now and had more bad beats than hot dinners at low stakes cash, I have been playing on another site. Many players playing at the micro stakes call with any two and will not lay down a flush draw for any amount of money. This over the years is very frustrating trying to grind away at the low stakes, even to the point I will not play low stakes cash. But the frustration on the new site is everyone is a total nit. Eg I raise 3 x BB in first position and every one folds, on here you are guaranteed to get 11 callers on a 10 seat table. 90% of show downs on the other site the winner will be holding the nuts. So I’m not sure what’s worse playing solid ABC poker and getting a bunch of donkeys calling with any 2 or having to only play the nuts and win 1 hand every hour…..so people NUTS OR RAGS which do you prefer?

Of course you wanna play against people who play junk, this point has been made a million times of the forum. If you got someone who won't let go of flush draws, that's great news cos they only get it about 1/3 times, so 2/3 you  should win, not a bad win rate there.

If you can't cope with bad players outdrawing you every so often, poker might not be the game for you.

Don't you like them times when you sit at a table with 5 morons tho and like 4 of them go all in pre in the first hand with average hands and you end up cashing in seconds? I've had a fair few of them and there's nothing better... well maybe a HU game when someone is sat out lol.

i think you defo wana be playing on softer tables. if your only seeing people get to showdown with the nuts elsewhere ur basically hoping to hit a miricle and split a pot. the only other option you have otherwise is to bluff.
IMO id just ship all money to the softest tables and try to hold.

I don't mind REGS in DYM's one on my left and one on my right, one to steal from late on and other folds a lot to me in BvB situations but rest defo want to be brain dead morons .

Don as you know the players at the low levels are shocking as your poker tube vids show, ps hope your cats ok. i know you want the soft tables but sometimes the players playing any 2 and hitting get too much.
