Transition to full ring live play

hi all,

I am right now in Vegas and am playing the live full ring games for a couple of days. I am normally a 6 max player online and am trying to adjust my game to live play. I do play the 1/2 NL games and one of my observations is that isolating is hardly impossible. Most pots are 4 way or even more, even if I (or someone else) raises 6/7 bb's. Stealing the blinds is also a rarity, since you can hardly open raise on the cu/b.

My adjustments is that I tightened up and try to play speculative hands big and strong hands fast. It is a bit boring, since I am waiting for good hands and flops to come.
I also limp raise AA/KK sometimes, bc I like raise, call, call, call, call, call less than limp, call, raise, call, call, call, big reraise.


Does anyone have some good advice to adjust to live full ring games?

setmining gets paid off like...always

live play is so wild .. sometimes its opened 25bbs and 6 players in pot ..so before flop 125bbs are in pot ..and god i have seen 700 bbs pots won with jack high

live is fun

its plays worse than nl2 online so i dont know why you need to adjust

what? why would u make such a horrible adjustment

your adjustment should be to raise to 10/11 bb or something. if they keep calling just keep increasing the amount you're going to raise

something that is profitable at 1/2 is attacking limped pots. Double barrelling postflop usually takes it down sans the worst board textures. Also, if someone makes a weak bet at say a 932r board in a limped pot, floating with something like 2 overs and backdoor draws is ok because the number of good turn cards for our hands/good bluff cards like any point card, as is raising with something like bottom pair and betting turn scarecard to get him off his tpwk.

no one folds tpwk. dont try.

tighten up preflop, loosen up postflop.

I agree - this is my experience too. Trying to get anyone to fold a decent pair is tough - sometimes getting them to fold any pair is tough so just value town when you have the goods and work out who is weak and will fold and who is a calling station - oh yeah and who is the maniac who will shove bottom pair on a 3 flush 3 str8 board....

play 100% of your hands

Some of the play like the first seasons of high stakes poker by limping along is probably good ?

My online playing style was acctually not very good in the Las Vegas games. Weak Tight is probably much better

Play 80/60, open to 10-12 bb and isolate by shoving. Works quite fine in my local casino at low stakes. Well at least you will not get bored

i play almost any 2 in the later positions cuz it's easy to rape fish for huge profits that way. OOP i just tighten up and value town.

not really to adjust to. you might over adjust and own yourself against these types of horrid players.

YoMeR on the button with A2o does what? raise?

(1) Have BR
(2) Have patience
(3) Have a skillset able to beat micro stakes.
(4) Profit.

My wife played there for about a weak and she cleaned up. She's a slight winner at 100nl.

I have only been to the local casino in Sweden, and basically the lowest level (20sek/20sek (which is like 3$/3$) plays like a 45 % VPIP table at NL 5.

I remember the first two hands i had in EP (FR), first TT which i open up to "standard 4xbb", and 6 people saw a flop.

Second time i got KK UTG+1 and raised it up 15bb, and still got three callers.

Often it's just limped around the table. Isolating is a lot harder than online unless you raise it huge. But on the other hand, you can play plenty of more hands because not many isolates your limps etc. without a hand. Then they tend to overplay their hands in multiway pots (J9o plays it like the nuts on J52 board in a 5-way pot).

I dont see any justification for tighten up preflop. You can see tons of flops cheaply and then pretty much get action every time you hit.

And still being able to raise it to 15bb pf and get action when you get AA.

It's like heaven (talking about low stakes now..)

If you could only 24 table live 1/2. You'd easily make 1k/hr.
