A weird limit/NL game full of 2+2ers... FISH HEAVEN!
Anyhoo......
So last night at Commerce a buncha 2+2ers got together for an impromptu game. The lineup: Clarkmeister Dynasty Gabe mike l. (for a little while) Ed Miller, who someone told me was a Noted Poker Authority Ulysses, who everyone had taken to calling 'El Diablo' Josh W J.A. Sucker Glenn Oh, and me, dubbed Rock 1 by Clarkmeister. Ed was Rock 2. I think Dynasty was Rock 3. After being at the table for more than 30 minutes, I couldn't spot the sucker... I'm not sure what that means though. Anyway, at first we were doing just a $100 max buy-in NL game with 2/3 blinds. But the action in that game was.... well, there was none. So we decided to mix it up and make it limit preflop and no limit postflop. This loosened up the table quite nicely! My question is, how does strategy differ from a normal NL game? Should you start playing more s00ted connectors from any position? I played 4d5d UTG, and I kinda took a biggish pot away from Clarkmeister. Sorry buddy. He was gunning for me the rest of the night. He started to play his starting hands based on SF, or 'Sooga Factor', a quantity he devised based on how likely he thought I was to call preflop. Luckily I got away from that game in one piece. |

Hey Sooga,
Nice meeting you last night. The "limit" part of the game was so small that raises meant nothing especially after everyone had over $200. I think I was playing close to half my hands for one, two, or even three bets. Seemed like you did pretty good. |

Oh yeah, something Josh said in another post reminded me, I didn't raise anything before the flop. Maybe raising everything would have been better. I'm not sure.

Yea, you should have.... it really worked out well for El Diablo.

That's because El Diablo was raising TWICE every hand: the pot and his glass! This seemed to be the perfect plan.

Nobody (except Dynasty) was folding pre-flop and it was easy to get all the money in post-flop with or without a raise. I'm not sure if that means raising nothing or everything would have been better.

FWIW, the following two-pronged strategy did not work well:
a) Play 100% of hands, regardless of position or raises pre-flop (IMPLIED ODDS!!!!!!!) b) Run it w/ anyone all-in w/ any pair in an attempt to get a stack big enough to bust Sooga, Glenn and Clark I somehow managed to escape that game w/ only a $400 loss, well worth it for the great time. |

Gabe is wrong. See, there was a max buyin of $100. I routinely had $100 in front of me...not the $200 he speaks of.
