What should I be raising preflop? What should I be 3 betting? Raising late finds a lot of callers even if a late position pot size bet is $100. There are almost always a lot of callers. I've been playing tight and been successful, but I'd like to mix up my play a little more. Or should I just keep the conservative strategy?

I play a 1-3 (basically 1-5) cash game in new york where the players discuss a lot of business if deep (or generous).

Thoughts on running it 3 times? I'm in these spots frequently at opponents expense (live games).

I saw no problem with Tom's response. Shouldn't take it so personally. Should be more concerned with the valuable information he provides as opposed to something as trivial as 'poor' word choice. Next Hand.

Yeah, I see myself getting into trouble and stuck a little early when I limp with trash and feel priced in with only suited aces because 5 or 6 people already called a raise. I'm playing again late tonight and will take your advice along with me. I want to know that I'm making right decisions and haven't just been running well. Thank you Tom.

Thanks for the response. What should be my limping range? I aim for connecting hands but with high flush draw possibilities. I'm pretty cautious and make sure I have nut flush hands. There is so much calling preflop that sometimes it becomes a crap shoot and I just try to get it in with the best of it.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take this approach as you say and try to smash. A lot of what I have noticed is making good reads and not putting yourself in 'trouble' spots. I try to draw to the nuts and be very weary of paired boards.

Have a general question that probably has many obvious answers, but would really enjoy getting some general input and responses.
I play a 9-10 handed 2-5 PLO game here in New York. The predominant makeup of the players is very loose. I think most players are there to gamble but as I said, the game is extremely loose with roughly half or a little more than half players seeing the flop. I'm not sure if I've been successful because of luck or not and was just curious about a general strategy for 9-handed PLO. 6 handed is what I used to play, but I'm curious as to the appropriate playing style for winning players at a 9-10 handed Very loose PLO game. I'm afraid to label the players as aggressive but the pots are big.
In a 9 handed loose PLO game, what's a good calling and 3 to 4 bet range? Also, should I still be calling as loosely on the button? What's a good calling range? 9 handed seems like a different approach.
