    finding it difficult playing on loose agressive tables.I tend to tighten up but when you are card dead and bluffs seem out of the question as the table is calling down anything,what on earth do you do ??????

    In that position you wanna be selective with the hands you are playing, i like to raise in late position for stealing purposes because you cant just get blinded out. But basically just waiting for a hand and trying to double up at this point is what you should be planning to do. If you build up a stack then you want to become more aggresive stealing blinds from the shorter stacks.

    trying to do that but keep getting outdrawn with QQ KK AA ect take this for example (there is many like them !! ) thanks for your thoughts on this. The guy limping in did with what I had observed with any AKQx suited cards any pair he would raise from any position,up to then if anyone had raised the pot and he had limped ep to mp he would fold,so I decided to check hoping he would catch a piece of the flop....Did I make a bad play ??
