I was playing a bit the other day....

Maybe this is basic knowledge, but here are some things that I learned that seemed to work well for me:

- If the table is in a conservative mode where people usually open the preflop betting with the minimum bet (ie $5) then try to see the flop on every hand that you can for that $5... if someone bumps it up (still preflop) & you have junk, just fold it. The idea is to see the flop as often as possible for the minimum bet no matter how shitty your starting cards are.

In fact, it could be that the shittier your pre-flop cards are when making a hand this way - the better - because your opponents wouldn't expect you to be holding those cards.

Ie you have 8-2 off suit... and it flops 8 8 2....

I would think that catching people off guard when you have the winning hand that started off as really shitty cards would pay off for the $5 (or whatever the minimum opening bet is) ... especially if you check it when you make your hand.
