Default Re: Laggiest Game Ever

Okay, I'm at home now...

The first section talks about a game where 7 players regularly cap it. It recommends playing AA-QQ and AKs. "Whether you want to splash around with as little as two tens or AJs is up to you. They will win a little, but they also add to your fluctuations."

The second section talks about a game where only 4 players cap it. It recommends not playing middle and lower pairs because "you are not getting your odds to hit a set, even including your implied odds....if there were more players in, then you could play the two nines becaue you would be getting proper odds for your set. However, fold them when you are only against four people."

The last section talks about other things you need to adjust to mentally playing this tightly. It mentions that "there is nothing wrong with playing tighter than what is theoretically proper. It may reduce your win rate a little, but it will reduce your fluctuations greatly...this style will make it less likely that the live ones will quickly make a big win and quit on you."

------------

I think the OP's game is analogous to a loose game (7ish players preflop) where there's a single bet on each street (no raising allowed) and very tiny blinds compared to the size of the bet (1/8 and 1/4 of a small bet).

Isn't it correct to play very tightly in that game? It only costs you a fraction of a bet to sit out a round, and you can't raise on the turn/river when you hit your drawing hands.
