number one rule in 888pl online games.

dont pretend that you have an ounce of fold equity.

Rule #2

Do not go all in pre-flop with Ace rag in a freeroll!

raise more pre-flop in each of the first two examples. as soon as the first limper calls your raise then the rest of them are pretty much priced in to call.

1st one, make it like 850 or 900 to go, raising to 500 (a little over 3x) when there is 3-4 limpers is just not enough.

2nd one, why the min-raise if you know its a passive table. its not like 99 is a monster, i would be happy to just get the blinds and limpers here. punish the limpers more and make it 1100 minimim here. i think as blinds get bigger then 2.5x or something similar can work just as well, but you are always asking for trouble with a min-raise.

PUNISH THE LIMPERS, don't price them in.

THIS'S! (hehe)

You can't complain about this sort of thing when you know you're playing passive players and you don't tighten up and get more aggressive yourself.

How many calls were you pushing over tho? I stopped counting at 4.

You have no business being in this hand
