Re: Odd hold\'em structure
Without worrying too much about the "social" aspect (playing like a nit in a home game), there are a few things I'm trying to figure out...
1) Is position important? I don't think it is, if it's a guarantee that 6-7 will go to the flop.
2) I think tight is right. It costs you less than 1 SB to play 2 full rounds. You can wait for premium hands and it doesn't cost you much to do so. But what are premium hands in this game? A7s and 66? QQ+?
3) Are speculative hands (small pocket pairs and suited connectors) profitable? If you flop a quality draw, you don't have to worry about being raised off your hand. On the flip side, if you do hit your hand you can't extract multiple bets later on.
3b) If the game suddenly got "tight", with only 3-4 seeing the flop and it usually being heads-up at showdown, do you still play little pocket pairs and suited connectors?
