Default Re: The definitive post on 22s v 33s (with some comments on 55s)

ive been 4-tabling the 55s for 15 roi the past 2 weeks. only 20 or so a day so really no sample size to speak of

but im not looking to "double up" early. im looking to play solid hands early on, and use early reads to see who the loose donks are at the table, and hopefully get in with a good hand v. them. by the 50/100 level, im glad to have a stack around 1500. sometimes ill capitalize on a donk and double up through him, but a lot of the chips i get during the first three levels are through solid value betting

after that its a lot of blind stealing, followed by bubble play. blinds are so high by this point if im not a big stack, im doing the push/fold thing a lot.

90% of the players i face at the 55s, including multi-tabling "regulars" (McShove comes into mind) dont seem to play well post-flop in the first three levels. i find my NL cash game background helps a lot here - i tend to see way too many people overvaluing hands when they still have 30+BBs in their stacks.
