| Hi, I am playing Poker for a year now and have recently took a stab at the only game in my area which seems to me to be yet way over my head. But there are no low limit Tables around except online. I got burned pretty fast and would like to hear recommondations and thoughts about the games format: There are 5 and 10 EUR or Dollar blinds. Each Raise can be between 10 and 30 Dollar. If its a players and there have been 4 raises already, he can anounce a raise stop. This 10-30 spread limit appies to all betting rounds. Quite often players just limp in for 10 before the flop, around 50% of the pots are raised preflop. -Hans | ||

| Hi Hans In this structure I would play a lot of hands if my opponets were loose-passive. Are your opponets of the texture that they will call often after the flop? Do they call all raises even big ones? Those questions will dicate what style you should play more than the blind structure. Roy Cooke on 19.

| Roy, there are usually 2-3 loose players at the table, one of which seems to play every other pot. But the flop brings it down to two players most of the time. -Hans on 19.

| How does the card room make money? If they rake 10% uncapped, that's simply a game to avoid (even for some experts) for any long sessions. If they cap the rake at say E4, then you really must play at least as tight as the books recommend, but when you need to raise do so for the full E30. Don't let them in for a small raise, make them pay to play even with your semibluffs. If they charge time like E5 per half hour per player, then you can play a little looser than recommended when you gain experience, but still tighter than most of the competition. If there were more players that stayed in after the flop than you indicated, then you could play quite a few more hands in late position than you might expect because your positional advantage means that much more in spread limit than fixed limit. It may be okay to limp with a hand like J8s on the button preflop if the game loosens up such that you often see four players take the turn. You would need many more players in the hand to get away with this in fixed limit structure, yet this illustrates the extra degree of positional edge you would be getting with an E10-E30 spread. | ||
