3/6 Live Cash Games

Does anyone have any experience with playing in 3/6 cash games? I still consider myself somewhat of a new cash game player, as I've only played in them around 8 times and I'm still learning something new every time I play! But, the casino that I go to occasionally has 3/6 games, where you can buy in for a minimum of $40. I would like to try playing in this at least once, but I've absolutely no idea about the betting structure for 3/6. I'm not sure if it's limit or no-limit, but if it's no-limit, what are appropriate raises? Should I think of it like 1/2, but multiply the raises by 6? Any information would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has any links on playing in 3/6 cash games, that would be fantastic!

With that low of a min buy-in this will be a limit game. Preflop & flop the max bet is $3, turn & river max bet is $6. Whether betting is capped or not will vary from place to place so you better ask 1st.

Be aware of position and what I do is try to classify which players match which personalities. I have heard that they call this game at these limits, "NO FOLD-EM HOLD-EM" because people will call all the way to the river.

Example:

I held 10-J off suite, there were five callers. Flop comes up rainbow, 9-8-7. Somebody bets $3. and four call I raise to $6. and they all call. Next card a heart so there are two on board. Somebody bets $6.00, now 3 callers and I raise to $12.00, and somebody raises it to $18.00. River comes up with no help, I have the nuts. The big blind bets $6.00 there is a raise to $12.00 and I raise to $18.00.

By the time it ended I was up a lot of money because nobody folds for such low stakes. I have seen people calling with nothing and they are the ones that keep buying more chips.

I am opening up my game more, but I watch and wait to strike. I do bluff some but I make it believable and I sell the story. I got away with some big pots by just betting the river.

Good luck and let us know how it goes for you. I buy in for $100. and have not taken a loss, but my smallest win was $15.00 and my biggest $50.00. I play about 2-3 hours at a sitting.

Like Jillychemung said, if the minium buyin is $40, then its gonna be a limit game. In my experience, 3/6 limit live is more often than not no foldem holdem. Be prepared to go to the river with 5-6 players pretty much every hand. It can be a profitable game if your hitting your hands though. Also, bluffing is not advised imho in this game. Best of luck!

i play limit holdem, lots of 10/20, 15/30, and 20/40. Limit you can see more hands and not have to risk your bankroll on a single decision. Thats why i like it better than NL
