hi

yes playing small pot poker can be successful - but the absolute rule is to NEVER fall in love with your hand

by its nature you want to be seeing as many unraised pots as reasonably possible - and to a point the more players the better (as the post becomes reasonable without anyone showing any aggression)

but you must must be aware that by doing this you are dancing with the devil - everyone is likely to be playing very marginal hands ... including you ... if the flop doesnt hit you OR looks very likely to have hit another marginal hand then you must must be ready to give it up

Im looking at you $2.25 preflop pot in a 50 cent game which implies 4 callers and a folding SB

I would personally be tempted to take the pot down on the flop - if you show no aggression throughout the hand then it is allowing everyone to draw to stronger hands

The best approach IMHO is to be able to change gears - so playing small pot poker for a bit and then TAG then back to loose (the important thing to avoid when improving your game is NOT to play loose aggressive just for the sake of it)

good luck
