Here in Minnesota, they only allow limit games except in tournaments. In place of no-limit, some casino's offer a spread limit game like $2-$10 or $5-$30. Without thinking about proper strategy adjustments, I sat down at the $2-$10 game (1/2 blinds, with betting of $2-$10 allowed thereafter). I realized that I had a problem when I would raise to $10 in late position with AKo and got 5 callers. Many hands would pan out like this and I realized that people could/ would call with just about any draw and have the correct odds, especially by the turn.

I've spent some time trying to figure out how to beat a game like this and just decided to avoid it and drive to Wisconsin for No-Limit or stick to regular 1x/2x limit. Has anybody done better in these spread limit games or have any insight on how to beat them?
