ok i did good at partypoker but just started playing at towergaming
limit .50/100 10 ring tables, they seem very loose, lots of people seeing flop and betting like its free money table almost. anyways i figure i should be able to do great there but ive lost $38 in 3.5 hours, i have been trying to play tight/aggresive as i am going for the bonuses.
I think i have had just a really bad run of starting hands, and when i do see the flop with good hole cards the flop is sucks for my hand
any suggestions for playing against loose aggresive players, i'm hoping i just have to wait and eventually the cards will sometimes be in my favor, but then the opponents might have me read as very tight and finally getting a good hand
thanx for any advice

yep. Buy in short, and push all-in preflop with big PP's or AKs.
If there's a bunch of loose players they will call you, and you don't have to worry about being bluffed off your hand.
example: 10NL
you buy in for 2.75
You are in late position with KK, and a loose player raises 4xBB to .40 ahead of you, and another loose player calls behind him.
You push all-in for 2.75
One of them will proably call you and lose when his AJ misses the flop.
If they fold you win their bets plus the blinds.
Since you are short stacked they will be much more likely to call your all-in, and you don't have to worry about being pushed off post flop on a ragged board.

Tough to do at a limit table.

38 big bets is a pretty common swing in FL, especially at loose tables. Basically FL swings much more than NL, the betting structure makes loose players stick around.
Still, some may come from leaks etc. so I would just suggest reading to catch up. Limit is mostly about reading the board and your opponent properly, not spewing big bets, avoiding monkeytilt when you get a bad beat and an ok dose of patience.
