Here is the other part to my first post called Sit N Go's Vs Micro Limit Now I want your opinion on what is the strategy you use to profit from 50/1 or 1/2 holdem,,What rules to use and which to throw out of the window,, now Ive made a bit of money this past week playing .50/1 holdem (this is my first week playing that level)and here is what I found out,,,Pkt pairs interestingly far less valuable than hands like AK or AQ ,,even Ax suited have seemed to work quite well and here is why: If you get a pkt pair like Aces there is only so much you can raise ,so most people calling .50 are gonna call your dollar, now if there is five people in the flop your aces are only slightly favorite to win, so if the flop comes K 10 9 you know your screwed by someone with 10 9 or k 10, qj ect,,, now if you have a hand like big slick and you hit top pair on the flop that is one less card that can give them two pair or a str8 (if the flop comes A,1o,7 you can raise and youll soon find out if someone hit two pair by how they play plus its not likely that they have 2 pr cuz you already got an ace), also if your playing Ax suited and you hit the flush draw you will usually be getting the pot odds to chase it ,, and when you dont you just lay it down..playing loose in the late positions works well too,, playing hands like suited connectors or kx suited and raising w/ ace rag seems to work.check raising with a middle pair or flush draw's on the flop usually give u a free look at the river since people will check the turn thinking your strong.you can play as tight as you want and people will not even notice,, so you'll get the same amount of action as they would give anyone.picking one or two people in the table and just studying them can help you extract a lot of money from them.that is most of the stuff that has worked for me ,, so I would appreciate anyone who constantly beats these games to give suggestions or tips of their strategies and how they have made their money at these tables.

What usually works for me when i'm playing low limit is to play very loose preflop. I usually play jx suited and up, suited connectors 56 and up, any hand on the button if it isnt a raised flop. i dont bother raising with any cards unless its been folded all the way up to me in middle or late position. I keep a sheet with the odds right next to me so it makes it easy to chase or fold. other than that it's easy. I think it might take some time to build a bankroll maybe 2 or 3 months. but this is a sure thing if you stick with your play every time.
