First sorry for my bad English

When i play in Loose Passive Games( Villains are 40-80/0-10) and i play my normal Holdem Style preflop 24/18, i just cant win really much. I cant steal Blinds and i cant isolate weak Player because all Players of the table call my Raise. So i tried some other Styles. I played much more Passive preflop and just raised my Premium Hands and limped very much in the Cutoff and on the Button. I had good success with this Strategy. What do you think? Is this the optimal Strategy in this games? I had no big Samplesize but the 24/18 style was just burning money sometimes i think.

24/18 is very tight unless you're playing ring games. I'd be looking elsewhere for why you weren't doing well.

If you are uncomfortable playing in very loose games, you can always just change tables until you become more confident in your game.

As for adjusting to loose-passive games, you should just tighten up and play your good hands aggressively. It can feel like you are burning money during a single session when everyone calls your raises, but if you are playing good starting hands you will win money in the long-term.
