When I was involved in online poker, over 10 years ago, there were people who would play at many tables at once. Like 8 or 12 or even more hands at the same time. Are people still doing this?

Your opponents' bad play is good, if you want to make money. You want them playing incorrectly. Yes, many poker guides are written with the idea that your opponents are decent players, and the point is to try to figure out what their cards might be based on how they are playing. You can't do this if they completely suck and just play every hand and raise or fold or whatever seemingly at random. So you aren't going to be trying to put them on a hand, they don't even know what they have so you certainly can't figure it out. Instead, you mostly play your own cards. Got bad cards? Fold. Got good cards? Raise. Have a chance at a flush or a straight? Check and call if the pot odds allow it. You will mostly be folding or raising. This way, when you see the flop, you'll have QQ and they'll have J4, and the odds of you having the best hand will be better than everyone else's. When you completely miss the flop, fold. If you have a good hand after the flop, raise. The idea is that you won't lose much on your losing hands, since you'll be folding so much preflop and when you've missed the flop. On your winning hands you should win a lot, since you've raised all over the place. Meanwhile, your opponents will be pouring money onto the pot when they have no chance of winning, and every so often they get lucky and their 7-4 turns into a full house, but so what?

When I used to play online on PartyPoker, 12 or 13 years ago, I played at 6 max tables with an average VPIP of 40+%. They weren't all that loose, but you could watch tables and just play at the ones which were. I'm guessing you don't see that any more, even at low stakes.

When you have a bad hand, you fold. People who call anything are so easy to take money from that what you do in the occasional marginal situation is not all that important.
