R/F tables???

I am still rather new at playing and have seen some rooms with R/F instead of NL or PL. What is R/F? How much different are these games?

Tables where you can only raise or fold your hand.

Where do they have these tables?

I would avoid these tables. Much money is made from cold-callers and junk limpers.

I've only ever seen them as play-money tables (where they are as pointless as pointless can be)

Play money at pokerroom. I was looking last night to expirement with some other games besides NL Hold'em and say some of the R/F tables and wasn't sure what those were about.

Can you only r/f? No calling???

[KramerTM]

So you're saying it makes all your opponents play correctly???. Sounds like a -EV idea to me.

At those play money tables I reckon folding anything preflop except AA works out as a profitable strategy.

(If you CAN call winning play money profitable)

Yes, but if such a game were to attract a bunch of maniacs -- which certainly seems plausible -- it could still be +EV.

Or to state it another way, if those would-be-cold-callers are instead raising their hands because Q9s is just too good to throw away, rather than correctly folding their hands, then it's not really encouraging correct play.

That said, I agree that the passive "I'll hang around to see another card" element is gone, and that's a great profit in most low-limit games. You're really accepting all the outrageous variance that goes with a table full of maniacs.

I'm confused, is this a limit game where every street is capped or a NL game where someone will have to be all-in before every flop?
