How the F* do you beat crypto $1/$2

Need help bro's

I clear the odd bonus there and it is a disgrace, obviously full of Bwhores like me.

So i start open-raising more marginal hands vs these nits, you win the odd set of blinds or you get some prick who calls from the BB and then C/R any turn.

I never seem to get action with my good hands, youd think i would with a decent pfr % from stealing.

Can anyone give me an insight on how to beat this sh*thole? Ive tried "stealing more blinds" or being more aggro. Half the time people are openliming AA in the CO so you raise a10s from the SB and u are screwed.

Any help or links on how to beat tight @ss nits would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Your post sounds angry. I bonus cleared Pokerplex earlier this month. I found that:

They're semi-loose and ridiculously passive. Play accordingly.

yeah it is bro, sorry if it came across that way- just a bit desperate

I also cleared the bonus at pokerplex in one sitting. I found the tables to be quite straightforward, semi-loose fairly passive. I didn't spot too many check/raises with monsters -- it was mostly I hit it so I bet it.

If I'm understanding your post, the tables are full of tight nits? Why would you play at these tables? It better be a worthy bonus.

It's $50 for 300 hands (raked or unraked) at pokerplex. For only 2 hours, its a pretty decent overlay for most micro players.

Yeah, that sounds like a good overlay.

yeah thats a good one. The 5 hours will hill etc are a bit harder. I just need a better strategy or maybe im just having a really bad run. Is there any literature on beating TAG and also weak/tighties?

If you don't like playing with the tighties, try their shorthanded games. Most are loose passive, and the odd tight one you get have TAGgish ring game stats which are easily exploitable shorthanded. The pound games seem juicier.

As far as beating $1 full, open raise alot (don't take this too far though) and follow up with flop bets. If they call the flop they usually have something unless it's a LPP. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
