I'm gonna try my own personal little OIC like everyone else seems to be doing. What adjustments do I need to make to beat the .50/1 game? I've had trouble with it in the past, probably because I'm not playing optimaly considering the poorer opponents.

Play tight. Avoid fancy plays. Semi-bluff less. Value bet more.

Just curious. What limits do you usually play at?

I generally recommend a pulse.

Play good starters. Make a hand or a draw on the flop. Bet it when you have it. Don't tilt when your top pair or overpair get's beat for the 10th time in a row.

like with any other level, you have to play lots of hands to allow solid +EV play to materialize into profit.

wreak havoc with your monsters and be very patient. also, opportunities for drawing are abundant. so in passive games, you can loosen up your starting hand reqs by position
