Default Bar Game

Not sure this it the correct forum but I value the opinions here:

Every week I play in a $50 game with 50-70 entrants.

Starting Stack $1500 with the levels below:

10/20
20/40
40/80
50/100
100/200
200/400
400/800
500/1000
1000/2000


Increase every 10 min.

Loose Aggressive and Loose Passive play rules the day (Any Face or best case Any Face Soooted).


With the aggressiveness of the blind structure, should I stay tight until the 3-4 level? Or should I try to see a lot of flops?


Also, only about 5% of the people that play have the ability to laydown a hand.


Thanks,
Ric

you want to see some flops. sounds like TPGK is good enough to get all your chips in - KJo becomes very playable.

What Schwza said, look at flops in the cheap stages. Don't value AK/AQ as much pre flop, since a lot of their pre flop value comes from folding equity and it does not seem like you will have a lot of FE here. If people will call, play your big pairs fast preflop. Value bet mercilessly post flop. Definitely play fit or fold when you are looking at flops cheaply.

Every 10 minutes? What are you getting, 4 hands per level? That's ridiculously fast.

Depends on the dealer and the players but best case I see 5 - 7 hands/level.

I agree it's crazy, and the blinds doubling makes it even crazier.

Pretty close but if you'd see the pond you'd want to break out your pole.

But the structure being what it is... Luck may play too big a factor.

It kinda goes back to the question. "Does a skilled player have an advantage in Speed Tournaments?"
