Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit

AK v AK v JJ

So I'm playing AA, KK, QQ, AK, maybe AQ, and maybe KQ. What are you guys limping with versus what are you guys raising with, and from what position?

[Boolean]

I'd definately play both AQ and KQ, I just forgot to include it as I was pretty tired. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Boolean]

I sometimes raise with AA, sometimes not. I sometimes raise with KK, sometimes not. I sometimes raise with AK, sometimes not. AQ and KQ, I usually limp with. The reason I don't raise all of my top hands is for deception purposes. This of course assumes the people in your game generally know how to play. As far as position goes, has anyone found if position really affects play here? I've found either you flop a good hand/draw, or you fold regardless of position.

[Boolean]

Here's a question. Since this game plays so soft, for the time being anyhow, what kind of bankroll would you assume is needed for this game? From what I've seen, as long as you know how to get away from a hand and how to push your big edges, the low swings are few and far between. I could be running hot, however. Thoughts?

I don't think position really matters much. Like you said typically your either flopping top two or a set or your folding your hand.

Do you really think the people playing these games notice what you raising with? I've found theres usually one or two people playing who don't even know their playing Royal Holdem.

I raise with AA, AK, KK 100% of the time and dont think anybody even notices.

Just had my first royal flush burn someone's four of a kind. This is a fun game.

Just think how sick this will be if they spread NL. Straights calling all ins on the turn with the 'nuts'.

I don't think this game would be good NL. The swings that can happen from turn to river are just too huge.
