Well, I think I figured this one out. So here it is, I'd like everyone's input on what they think the correct play at this type of a table.I was playing at a local Casino called the Island, I put my name on the list for the $40 Buy-In No-Limit game, as it was the only NL game that was going to run after the Pineapple tournament. Thankfully I was 6th on the list so I wouldn't have to wait around. The layout of this game was unlike anything I've ever seen! Everyone started with the $40, You could not buy in for more than 40 the Entire night. The ante/blind structure was insane! Every player would post a dollar ante, and there was one blind, big blind also posted a dollar. I want to hear peoples opinions on how you change your play regarding this type of structure. To put it into terms, if you don't win a hand after 4 rounds, you're blinded out! Let's hear your opinions...

You have to loosen up and play more pots. Play position really hard. The pots you pick up are going to be huge. I guess you'd have to play loose/aggressive.

You gotta play like it was heads-up! With the blind/ante structure like this you have to see more hands by default to make it worth it. That's the bottom line.I would never play there tho

anytime there's a big ante game, you need to be more aggressive and try to pick them up. You'll also be getting odds to draw to hands, so connectors are not a bad idea.I also wouldn't waste time bluffing at that buyin, I'd expect no-foldem holdem

There's $11 in the pot before the action. Treat this game as a 4/7 blind structure. A limp in bet is $7 not $1. 3Xbb is $21. At $40 everyone is short. Play it the way you would a short stack. For $1 every hand is playable.

The answer is simple, play loose and aggressive as hell.

Yup, everyone got it, Another wierd thing about this game was, You need to get in RIGHT away. People were sitting down 4 hours after the game started... average stack of those of us that had been playing for 4 hours (only 3 of us were still there) was around 250, they need to change this rule fast, I mean these people were just throwing there money at us. It was a good night so say the least.
