In addition to tournaments and sng’s, I play full ring cash games. I prefer 9-handed games because the play is pretty straight forward. Short handed games have much higher variance and the swings are bigger.
With that being said, I’ve found Bodog Poker's full ring cash games to be a lot looser than most sites. Many players drop in on the tables after placing a bet in the sports book and play while watching their game. Some of the best times to be at Bodog’s cash tables are when a big sporting event is on. Bodog also offers casino games such as craps and blackjack and they attract a gambling type of clientele making Bodog’s cash games very profitable.
I came across your run of the mill full ring cash game. Players were re-raising with the nuts and only willing to play small pots unless they had a big hand, ABC poker.
I like to see a lot of flops especially, when I’m sitting in late position. If I hit the flop hard, I have a shot at stacking a player.
Here are the starting stack sizes and position of each player at the table:
Bodog Hold'em No Limit ($0.50/$1.00)
Seat 1: (BTN) Hero ($98.50)
Seat 2: (SB) ($97.00)
Seat 3: (BB) ($49.50)
Seat 4: (UTG) ($138.93)
Seat 5: (UTG+1) ($100.00)
Seat 6: (UTG+2) ($100.00)
Seat 7: (MP1) ($211.50)
Seat 8: (MP2) ($100.00)
Seat 9: (CO) ($132.19)
I’ve bled off some chips trying to hit flops without much success and topped off just before the blinds hit me. A couple of guys ahead of me limped in and I looked down at 

How would you play this hand?
Without any strength shown to this point, I could squeeze with a big raise and try to take down the pot right here. I decided to just call in position with my two suited broadway cards and see a flop. The small blind completed and the big blind checkd. We go to the flop four handed.
Flop comes: 

(pot $4)
Both players in the blinds check as well as the player under the gun. The player in middle position comes out betting half the pot ($2). This is how passive full ring cash games can be, small ball poker.
With the second nut flush draw and two overs on such a raggedy flop, I three bet to $6. I’m not really trying to kill all the action right here. I just want to thin the field but, if everyone folds that ok too. The small blind folded and the big blind called as well as the player under the gun. What did the guy who bet out half the pot on the flop do after my re-raise? He folded.
So funny!
Turn brings:
(pot $24)
Another rag hit the turn. The big blind checked and the player under the gun came out with a $10 bet. I thought about re-raising here which is not a bad play. His $10 bet appeared to be a blocking bet and just screamed weakness to me. If he has 5-7, he just turned the nuts. But, I don’t think many players are going to limp with 5-7 under the gun. There’s always a chance he could have a set and is playing it weak. But as I said earlier, this is ABC poker. I think he would’ve check/raised me on the flop with a set and a few possible draws on board. I decided to just call $10 here and bet the river no matter what hit. I was hoping he had a smaller flush draw and we both hit. That would be ideal. The big blind calls as well. The pot is now $54.
River:
(pot $54)
I miss but, this is a very good river card. No one has played their hand like a big Ace (AK/AQ, etc.) Both players check to me and I bet out a little more than half the pot, $30 which looks a lot like a value bet. They both fold and I take down a nice pot with a little aggression on the river.
This is a good example of how to take advantage of your position in a soft cash game. Don’t be afraid to make the right play and make sure you have a plan when you’re calling down bets as your hand plays out.
Good luck at the tables.
