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.
During the money presentation, Daniel gives the audience a poker tip: Throw away all those books that teach you to play tight. I've done better with 6 4 offsuit.

The answer is simple, play loose and aggressive as hell.
Hey, I don't have all the answers in life. To be honest, I've failed as much as I've succeeded, but I love my wife, I love my life, and I wish you my kind of success.

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.
