Hello all,
I have recently started playing pot limit (only available near me), and its a £5 ($9) buy in and we have re-buys for first 2 hours, the thing is that i am looking to use it as a base to learn poker, but the problem is that as it is such a cheap game, the players are very loose until the cut off and very aggressive, which means if i want to play (and learn) i cant really keep going with marginal hands which is what others are going with and really poor hands also.
I find myself for the first half hour studying the players styles more but with many just throwing money in its hard to get an impression (last night 2 players playing before me had 10 buy ins each - wasnt helpful) , any views on what is best for me to do for playing?
Thanks
Mark
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

I’ve played in low stakes tourneys and know what you mean about the loose attitude. But don’t be too down on it, these wild players pump up the prize fun and rarely take any of it home.
I’ve normally found that as soon as the freeze out hits they disappear rapidly, until then I only play strong hands and do it aggressively since they’ll call anything bet with any cards.
