Message: [QUOTE="thepokerkid123, post: 1544102, member: 58945"] I respect loose play, even if it's fairly passive, however I think you'd benefit from tightening up a bit. A few things I disagree with: The belief that stack size has something to do with skill, it doesn't. The variance in one session is a much, much greater factor than skill. Calling bets and 3bets with pure junk pre-flop because you're only investing a little to win big. Because 1) If your range for playing against them is so wide that you can include 62o, it's not concealled, your range is 100% and even fish will expect you to call with anything. 2) You don't have implied odds. You are not going to make your hand often enough unless you're insanely deep and you've also got to factor in that you're going to be on the wrong end of monster vs monster hands abnormally often. The only real justification behind calling is if you think they'll give up too often post-flop, but in that case you also have to reduce your anticipated implied odds because they're not stacking very often when you do make your hand. If you somehow could justify it, you would still have to consider the rake which especially live, is enormous. Similarly, calling a 3bet OOP with 35o is never correct. You also seem to put too much emphasis on small samples. "But in the 15 days" ( <2k hands) and then comment on how specific hands hold up, your sample size for each hand is miniscule and any conclusions you draw from it are going to mislead you. The same applies to: "At the homegame out here, I'd be averaging $6000 a month were I to be able to play every night" it would be doing yourself a big favour to not project future results, especially if you don't have an enormous sample to work with. Do you really believe your estimations are objective? (rhetorical question) If you're winning then you're doing a lot of things right, and a lot of crazy things work live but sitting in a casino doesn't remove the game from laws of mathematics. I'm not some nit trying to justify my nitty ways, I play extremely aggressively (although relative to you, perhaps I am fairly tight), I just think that if you're winning then that's great but fixing a lot of problem areas I've mentioned could result in you winning in a bigger game.
