Changes in the 6-max game at Party

The blind structure changes how to correctly play the game.

Let's get some discussion going on this...

I'm at work so I can't go too long on this.

Small PPs will be that much better to limp with (implied odds just doubled), same can be said for suited connectors in late position (even 1-gapers, 2-gapers).

I think it's also important to try and get the players to commit preflop with our big pairs, we can't afford to make a smallish raise and let them reap the implied odds on our back.

i dont care what it says, but the dashes screw up the thread for everyone else.

Seriously ? Nothing weird here, perhaps we're not using the same resolution.
Had no idea this could cause troubles for some.

I think the blind structure definitely changes how to play the game, but I think it will be important to see how the fishies react as well. For instance, at the old 50 NL tables, will a raise to $4 with AA still get called like it used to...or should you lower your raising standards to $2. I think you limp a lot more with speculative hands since your stacks are now twice as deep, and see if you can still get the big raises called by the fishies. Due to the small sizes of many of the starting pots, play after the flop will be way way way more important. Don't go broke in an unraised pot, etc etc.

1. Maniac chasing becomes more profitable (assuming they buy in full.)

2. IMO posiition becomes even more powerful.

3. Obviously PP go up in value.

4. You will be able to play SC to a raise in position much more often bcz of stack sizes

Much more I'm sure

Do you realize the incredible odds you are giving everyone at the table to bust you ?

Aye aye, you should be looking for reasons to raise you big pairs more preflop, not less.

Strongly agree + those who ignore it will find it much more difficult.
