because the buy in is $50-$300, most guys buy in for the min up to 200. What are you possibly confused about? Passive, old businessmen don't 3 bet pre flop when they have more than $200 at the table generally. If they have from 50-100 they are willing to gamble it up with weaker hands. Obvioulsy some guys make moves pre flop with weaker hands, but passive businessmen which make up a lot of the people in the games I play do not. The point was, 450bb's deep and getting in with A,K pre you better have a strong read on your opponent.Originally Posted by jsearles22
I dont understand the above statement? At $1/$2 the standard buy in is $200 so everyone at the table is 100bbs deep until they lose a little bit. Most of the time 1/2 the table is sitting on 300-400 in the game I play at and there are plenty of moves made preflop with less than QQ.
I am very similar to the OP. I probably book wins at $1/$2 70-80% of the time and only play once a month or twice at the most. $1/$2 live is quite simply the easiest game in the world to beat. Nearly everyone in the game on a Friday or Saturday night has little to no idea what they are doing and are drunk and looking for a good time. I have won many pots where i called off light thinking there was no way I could possibly be ahead with top pair weak kicker or 2nd pair, etc and the noobs cant imagine there pocket Jacks are no good on the KQ983 three diamond board.
