The one thing that helped you beat 1/2NL casino cash game

I'm heading to foxwoods on Friday afternoon. I was hoping to play at night for a more fish crowd, but no luck.

I plan to have 3buy ins at 50bb each so I can 3bet and play aggro, and not worry about going bust. .

Any other tips?

Friday afternoon will be fine. You'd be way better off with more on the table though. Not sure how you're going to 3bet and play aggro with 50bb, but that's up to you.

$20 pre flop..2callers...$60 in pot means $40 c bet.. could end there..if 1caller..$140 in pot with $40 left...hmm that comes up short...but might be fine with smaller pre flop

play it as you would a 1c 2c table online...dont play to aggressive play on the tighter side with some agro thrown in raise big on mediocre hands or draws to inflate the pot

Yes, I will play very tight. I don't mind losing to a bigger hand, but I hate losing on a bluff or semi-bluff. A 3 hour session's outcome pretty much comes down to 1 or 2 hands, so I just need to be patient.

Don't think $150 is enough. Buying in for only $50 makes you short stacked from the start. Not sure what the standard is in foxwoods, but a 5 to 10X open in a $1/$2 game is pretty standard. A raise and a caller and you're pushing.

I'm interest to hear how the plan goes.

Preflop raises mostly tended towards 3x to 7x.

how you did

he said 3 buy ins at 50bb each 100 x3 = $300

Woah... you have it backwards. There is nothing wrong with losing to a bluff, no more than losing with a second best hand at show down. A well placed bluff is a well placed bluff and if you cant be ok with folding to what very well could be a bluff youre going to get valued a lot with the losing hand. The number one leak players have at low stakes is not getting away from hands. If youre never folding to a bliff youre not folding enough.

Well you definitely picked a nice time to go since it was during WSOPC. Going with $100 buy-in isn't a bad strategy here since $10-15 pf raises are the norm, and will get pot committed easily. Just got to get your hands to hold up.

Nothing intimidates like 50bb buyins and S U N G L A S S E S ......


Got to rock those Oakleys son.
