Trip report: Commerce 40/80
So I headed down to Commerce to try some live hold'em last night. Anyone have tips about this game?
So far I've learnt that: * Clarkmeister's theorem works SO much better live. Actually river play is pretty different from online: not so much thin value betting and more bluffing. * Finding the lucky chair can take a while. Sometimes you have to try four different seats. Personally, I never have this problem playing online. * Playing live is very good for improving handreading. * You raise preflop, asian local pro(?) defends his blind. Flop and turn are low cards. They check/call the flop and check/raise the turn. This means they have nothing and you're supposed to fold. * Commerce's rake is lower than Pacific Poker's... * OMG SO MANY WEAK TIGHTIES. The idea of limit hold'em appears to be that your bets are a dialogue with your opponents. Should it become clear from this dialogue that your opponent has a better hand, you're supposed to fold. Putting bad beats on people (even if you have the pot odds) is considered impolite or something. Same with showing down less than a pair... if this happens you have to act all embarrassed and slide your cards into the muck without turning them over. wheeler |
