You probably already know this, but playing against opponents like this is profittable in the long run...and if the opponents are REALLY loose, it shouldn't be that long at all. You WANT play like this, even when your queens get busted by junk. At a table like this, your premium hands do not have as much value as they would at a table of TAG players....simply because so many players are playing drawing hands, and you cant force them off. Knowing that your premiums will often have to go all the way to showdown, try not to get married to them.
Like you said, bet for value, knowing that they will stay in. Keep a close eye on the pot odds on YOUR drawing hands, and bet enough when you feel your opponent is on a draw to make it unpofittable for them when they miss. If they are consistently chasing, it should not take too long to make back anything you give to them when they catch.
one more thing...why would you want to go up in levels? To play against a tougher opponent who will respect your bets? The money you give him WON'T be coming back.
You have a goldmine here, start digging.  |
