Introduction: Playing in Loose Games
Since the original edition of this book in 1988, online poker has undergone an explosion with holdem leading the way.
Today there are many new players participating, resulting in much looser games.
It is not uncommon, even at the higher limits, to find many players who not only play too many hands, but go too far with their hands.
These poker games usually at the lower limits, are referred to as “no-fold’em holdem.”
Needless to say, for the skilled player these wild games are very profitable.
But they do require significant adjustments and many otherwise winning players do not do a good job in this area.
In addition, we have yet to see any advice that is totally accurate on how to play in loose games, even though much has been written.
This being the case, we have added an expanded “loose games” section to this twenty-first century edition of holdem Poker for Advanced Players.
We suggest that you read it many times.
It contains some ideas that are quite sophisticated and very different from that you may have previously read.
We know that this advice in appropriate game can be highly profitable.
