What I meant to say was if any flop is seen the full rake drop is taken right away instead of taken progressively as a percentage of the pot as the pot grows (at least it is capped at 5 dollars and this particular game has no bbq drop)
2/3/5 game folded to the blinds and sb completes bb checks back;
They are playing for like 5-6 dollars on the flop instead of the 11-12 that should be in there |

Damn that is really a weird structure esp the $1 rake no flop on a blind steal. |

The large preflop opens stem from results oriented players. I cant tell you how many times I've seen someone open to $40 or higher in a 2/5 game and then proudly turn over JJ when everyone folds and say "better to win a small pot than lose a big one right!" Or they'll just 3bet jam pocket 7's to "fold out all the bad hands". These players want to win pots, not stacks. So yes, the result is the games just play much bigger. 1/2 plays like 2/5 and 2/5 plays like 5/10 stack wise. At the actual 5/10 level you probably get a much better class of player so everything is more or less "standard" there.
I will say the obnoxious overbets definitely get called less frequently to the point that I avoid them. I still see people happily calling off $30+ in a 2/5 game with a $300 stack, but these are the same guys who will call a $200 turn bet and then check/fold the river saving their last $25.
If you raise 3x or 4x youre going to be playing every hand 5 ways most likely and out of position vs at least a couple of players, but their ranges are such trash it hardly matters. You make TP or an OESD and hit and you're getting tons of value no matter what. |

Well if people don't 3bet you can get away with it
I actually wonder if you can nodelock the low 3bet% in a solver run it and see the impact on sizes and ranges
Would take ages tho |

No there is no reason to stick with GTO strategy that's complete insanity.
You probably have 100,000x more experience and knowledge than these guys and they're somehow willing to gamble with you. What are the odds that you are even the 2nd best player in that game? Looks like you're also knowledgeable about the rake system and made sure that it's actually beatable, great. If so, this opportunity might not last forever - your guys might run out of money, they might improve their game, life might happen, etc. So make the most of it while it lasts. If the money is significant to you, put in the hours, be nice and make friends with these guys, and play as exploitatively as possible, and try to absolutely obliterate that game. Please make sure you invest your winnings in stocks, not in hookers & blow. |

yea you better make sure you can sustain high winrates if they dropping rake preflop that shit is brutal lol. Otherwise you just will have tough time winning a lot of money longterm.
Just do whatever you think will net you most $ longterm. Why is it bad to be as exploitative as possible and start betting bigger with stronger hands and vice versa? If they figure it out you can adjust back right?
Some ppl got donk crushing down to an artform. Be creative but not deviate so far from solid play and you should be just fine. |

Position at the table is very important in poker. The button is considered the most profitable because it allows you to act last on every street. That is, the player on the button always has the most information about opponents and can use the widest range of combinations. And on Situs Judi Online I use short stack play the most. This approach is considered simple and aggressive: with a starting hand from his range, the player is ready to go all-in. Due to the small size in relation to preflop bets and blinds, the short stack will have a good expected value even with low odds of winning. |

Wow, you've been playing in some interesting 2/3/5 games with a large open raise meta. It can be exploitable if players are not adjusting to it. You can also exploit the same weaknesses in your opponents' game by raising large. It's good to take advantage of that when you can. As for other online alternatives, there are many options available, OLE777 is one of them; they offer a wide variety of games and have a fair rake structure. |

It sounds like you've been able to adapt and exploit this trend by also raising large and adjusting your preflop strategy accordingly. |

Hey there! I'm also new to this forum, and I really enjoyed reading your post. I don't have much experience with live poker, but it's interesting to hear about the meta and strategies that players use.It's funny how sometimes unconventional strategies can be the most effective, especially if other players aren't adjusting to it.Besides been playing Solitaire for years, and I always find it to be a relaxing way to unwind after a long day. Have you checked out any of the online Solitaire games that offer cash prizes? I recently read a review of one on https://joywallet.com/article/solitaire-cash-review/https://joywallet.com/article/solitaire-cash-review/, and it seems like it could be a fun way to earn some extra cash. Anyway, thanks for sharing your insights on live poker, and I look forward to reading more of your posts. |

Regarding your question about sticking to optimal preflop strategy versus exploiting large raises, it really depends on the table and your opponents. If the players aren't adjusting to those big raises, it can be a profitable approach. Just be mindful of your position and how your opponents react.As for the rake structure issue, that can indeed be frustrating. It's good to see you've found a way to navigate it with the larger raises and actions at the table.By the way, if you're interested in exploring more poker strategies or discussing poker in general, you might want to check out Trusted Online Casino Malaysia. There are often valuable insights and discussions there. |
