Default WHOA! Game Structure gives me a huge edge. How to adjust. Hand Example

Iv been hearing about this No Limit game in hayward about an hour away from my every day 10-20 limit game. The Structure of this No Limit game is crazy. Both BB and Sb are 2$ with 1$ on the button for a jack pot, but inorder to limp in it costs 5$. So if you are in the BB you still must post 3$ to see the flop. They also play 11 handed because its such a popular game in the casino. There are atleast 5 player limping in before the flop and any where form 15,000-30,000$ on the table. with tons of action. They take 6$ every 30 mins (time) instead of rake (for all you online only player this is cheaper than your average time usually 7$ instead of raked every hand) This should dictate playing tighter than normal preflop, I would think. I can wait for a long time for a hand and it wont cost alot, but there are sooo many player on average 6-8 never less than 5 seeing the flop, that im getting great odds on my money because there alot in the pot already and the stacks run so deep and the players are so bad. Im trying to come up with some more profitable styles for the uniquie game.

I also have a great example of a hand from this game one of the wierdest hands Iv ever played!


UTG 1500$
MP1 300$
Hero has 1000$
CO-1 4000$
CO 6000$

Utg limps MP1 raises to 20$
HERO with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] reraises to 50$
CO-1,CO, UTG, MP1 all call 50$
POT 250$
FLOP J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
CHECKs to me (2 player infront 2 behind)
HERO bet 100$ all four players call
POT 750$
Turn 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Every body checks
River 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG bets 200$, MP1 folds to me
As im am studying UTG I notice the 2 player behind me show each other there hands! they start laughing and saying "damn I had nothing" "yeah I missed".
UTG has tried this 200$ dollar bet on the river after a checked turn 3 times now 2 times he was called and lost both times. 1 time showed a complete bluff 2nd time mucked his hand after being called and 3rd time he got away with it. So I with all these factors knowing I only had to call his bet without confrontation from the players behind I decieded to call, players behind me muck, UTG.... What you guys think of my play? results soon. [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
