I am always unsure about this. If you are holding like 54s on BTN is there any need to raise when you IP if you know it's like 80% chance you would be called? Looks good couse it's hand for huge pot right?
So my question in general is: do you like playing marginal hands/trash against loose players on blinds?
I'd be raising more hands for their top pair value, rather than hands like A3s because you're gonna want to be valuetowning them and with a hand like A3s you're not gonna feel comfy getting 3 streets of value (although maybe with the ace). Lean towards more hands like K9o rather than A3s, something that is more likely to flop TP and be good. I wouldn't say to tighten up too much because they're bad and we have position, but if they're just not folding, the best thing to do is wait for a hand. But definitely play hands against them.

Second thing what do u think of getting coaching from players like tubasteve, terp, nowhereman or HaiaN to help me to beat NL50 when i move up? they're all from deucescracked.
I can say from experience that terp is a good coach, and I've talked with and played in the same games with tubasteve and he's really smart/good as well. I don't have experience with the other two, but learning a good solid game at nl50 is so beneficial because you'd rather start early than develop bad habits at nl50 that will need to be corrected later. I'd say definitely look into coaching when you do move up; if anything you'll generally make the money back during the session while they sweat you so it can't be TOO bad to try it out =)
