pezeveng 207 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Iam currently at a .50-1.00 no limit table and eveyone is folding to the blinds probably 9 out of every 10 hands. Is it worth staying at a table like this as nobody is gambling, everyone is waiting for a premium hand. Raise to 3 and steal the buck 50 isn't really worth it imo.Also if folded around to the sb is it common place for the sb to fold? I know when we play live we usually just chop the blinds what is common for online play? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 1) Find a new table2) Open like 50% of your hands.The general strategy would be to play opposite of the table. You can play loose and aggressive, and steal lots of pots. It's not easy to do though, at an 8 or 9 person table, though, because usually there'll be someone who'll have a strong enough hand to put up some fight. If you can get it HU, though, and if they're tight postflop too, a simple c-bet should take down a lot of pots. Link to post Share on other sites

In these ultra tight games, you make money by stealing blidns. Link to post Share on other sites
Solar 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Where I play, the sb's range in blind vs blind play is about 0-25% fold, 75-90% complete, 10% raise.The other thing you need to know is their postflop play. If they are post flop nits who will fold to 50% of c-bets or more, then just play loose. If they are strong post flop players, who are all just playing a tight preflop game, you should probably leave. Link to post Share on other sites
antistuff 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Raise to 3 and steal the buck 50 isn't really worth it imo. think about if you won 1.50 every single hand you played. you probably don't average that much with a lot of hands that you look down and are excited to see.

I would raise and raise and raise and raise and cbet in position if someone chained me to me chair at this table and made me play this game. Then, when they all softened up some, I would change gears. Then when they readjusted, I would change gears again. In short, I would do everything possible to become the table *******. Not CAPTAIN. *******. Link to post Share on other sites

Not CAPTAIN. *******.this is what i would have said too. make the table adapt to you. heck. if anyone starts calling your preflop bluff raises, just fold them. make people know that you're stealing and you will eventually loosen the table or make a lot of money off of stolen blinds.
