since you SHOULD be buying in for $10, you will be 200BB deep. Not sure why I wanted to point that out, but for some reason it seemed important... heh.
I found that the best way to play this level was about 19/4.5... I was very picky about my raises cause there's no isolating people at this level cause you always get callers. So hands like AJo and AQo or KQo are not worth raising. Limp in and hope to get somewhere on the flop. I also limped all my pocket pairs and many suited aces, and some suited connectors. You're looking to take advantage of all the idiots mistakes postflop. Of course raise with AA/KK/QQ and if you think it will be no more than you +2, raise JJ, if it looks like there will be more, just call with it. I treat AKo the same. AKs I'd raise always since even if you get callers you're happy about it since you're suited.
Bet for value left and right. Top pair is a great hand with these guys.
You're not aggressive enough flop through river. Gotta get more aggressive!
As you move up, you'll have to tighten up you starting hands. But at this limit I found it was ideal to limp preflop a lot. |
