Thing is fish stick, you had no idea what you opponent had. If the table is tight and someone reraises 21 dollars, does that not scream "set", "2pair", "QJ"?

I think you were lucky the guy was an idiot who went allin with JJ on a K high board(unless you knew he was an idiot). Fact is you called his raise blind and excused it off because the results were good.


If the table is so tight, either 1) leave 2) don't play ABC poker. Mix it up.

I'm not saying the preflop play was bad. But imagine if your opponent held a set. Wouldn't the money still have gone in? EV- for sure.

As for strategy on loose low NL games, I'd say play your good hands strong, but not to strong(because getting sucked out for your entire stack is very TILTY). Play more mediocre hands that are above theirs. Like top pair with a medium kicker. Play draw hands aggressively, and when you hit, bet huge to make it look like your bluffing. Bluff if people are folding after the flop, don't bluff if your vs calling stations.

These tables are tough because although the table is loose, your often in a pot with a tight/semi-loose player who actually has something. If you see someone overplaying suited cards(like so many people do), and you feel they are on a flush draw, RAISE big. Don't pay them off when they do hit(this is a big one).

Contrare to what people think, reading weak players is easier sometimes since they don't disguise their hands. Some will call with nothing, and raise with monsters. Others will always raise with ANY pair, and raise huge with a monster.

Figure out each guy, and abuse his weakness.
