4/8 mini blind at UB best strategy?

[slantsix]

Has anyone played this game and, if so, what adjustments do you think are appropriate? Tighten up pre flop and more agro post flop? Thanks for any thoughts on this.

I would think the opposite; see plenty of cheap flops and take advantage of the likely multi-way pots.

Since there will be less money in the pot from the pre-flop betting round, I would think you would want to play tighter. Speculative hands will not get the usual odds to play on post-flop like in the normal sized blinds games. Playing aggressive post-flop with your big pairs and TPTK (or very good K) hands would make sense, I think.

Read the current 2+2 internet magazine article on mini-blind strategy.

This is completely wrong. Dont forget the implied odds from rounds when the betting limit is higher.

DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. GO AWAY!!! THIS IS MY SPOT!!! I WILL CRUSH YOU IF YOU START SHOWING UP AT THESE TABLES!!!

If your opponents tend to go too far with their hands, then I certainly agree. The games at UB tend to be somewhat tight, so I was responding to that scenario. A lot of your strategy will be dependent upon how your opponents play in these mini-blinds games.

UB has an Annie Duke table that's 4/8, however the blinds aren't 2/4, they're 1/2. So, even the BB needs to complete.

Thus, I'm not sure that I follow some of the advice in the thread so far that says you can see flops cheaper. IIRC, it's not any cheaper to see a flop at this table than a typical 4/8 table, as ultimately it still costs $4 to see the flop (assuming no raise). Been 4-5 months since I've played UB, so I might not remember correctly.

with no raise, it costs 2$ to see the flop. with one raise, it costs 6$. the flop onward has the same structure as a regular 4/8 game.
