is the cap on the 1/2 nl games in Foxwoods really $100?

[sexypanda]

?

...and if so, does that mean I have to just sit and nut peddle? I really don't see how 25 big bets is a reasonable cap?

I dont either this is the same at Turning Stone, you really can not play the game with this cap, You really cant out play some one.

[pshreck]

Yes its 100, and yes you have to nut peddle a bit.

However, there are situations when you have JJ, and its made 20 from UTG, with 4 callers to you, and you can safely push 100 into the pot. The fact (or likely fact) that this is the loosest baby NL game in the country makes it very beatable.

"nut peddling" is not the word. top pair will do postflop. you just need to play very tight preflop if there's a lot of stupid raising, since there's no implied odds.

1. Buy in for $100
2. Wait till you get a big pocket pair, set, or TPTK.
3. Poooooooush.
4. Profit.

If you miss your shot, rebuy, rinse, and repeat

If the BB is $2, $100 is 50 BBs. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You gotta remember, too..this is a game that collects $5 every half hour from the players instead of a rake...pretty much if you're playing tight, 10% of your starting stack is gone every hour...

Been there, done that.

As a NL newbie, I'm trying to use Miller's short stack strategy. It makes perfect sense -- I really suck postflop -- but the $10/hour eats me alive.

Oh, and since I buy in for $40, I don't care what the limit is. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You can buy in for $100, tip the dealer or post a blind then rebuy for $40 more (or $60 I forget exactly which one). So it is really $140 (or $160)
