Comments on: How To Play Against Loose-Passive Players http://justplaypoker.net/2009/07/play-loosepassive-players/ A Cocky Fish's Journey To Become A Poker Shark Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:09:58 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: 4Get 2 4Bet Me http://justplaypoker.net/2009/07/play-loosepassive-players/comment-page-1/#comment-23 4Get 2 4Bet Me Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:57:02 +0000 http://justplaypoker.net/?p=178#comment-23 All truth. It's frustrating to have to change gears to accommodate these players when you are in the mood to test your poker skills (ie tricks) against thinking players. You are right though, the only thing you should do is play A-B-C poker against these players. No check-raising, no bluffing, no c-betting, no floating. Bet it when you got it, muck it when you don't. One thing I do like to do though, early in the game, is show them a complete bluff. Lightly 3-barrel them with air. If you know they are going to call you down and show you bottom pair, fire weak bullets at them. This gives them that first impression that you are just a big bluffer and that they should not hesitate to call you with ANYTHING. From there on out, you only bet strong hands. You will get paid. No matter how many times you show them the nuts, they will always think that you are going to bluff them again. Good article, I look forward to reading more. ~*4Get 2 4Bet me*~ All truth.
