Tough Pot Limit Games

[antistuff 0]

every so often im sitting in a game and someone leaves or busts and then a fish decides to tighten up and the game turns into a blind stealing contest. what im refereing to is this1) often one or two limpers and somebody will raise. the limpers will almost always fold.2) nobody makes early posistion raises.3) hands almost never go past the flop.im curious as to where you guys think the average player is making mistakes in this type of game.

I don't see many like this.Seems as if raising frequently in LP would be +EV

in games this tight pot literally every hand in the cutoff and button and 1/2 pot the flop unless it's obvious someone has a made low if you want to make money. that's what i used to have to do when i played pl.better route is finding another game, though. there's a reason plo8 isn't played very often at higher limits unless there is an obvious fish around. (there are exceptions, i realize, before i get flamed, but more people that play higher play limit)
