Hi All,
I am going to be venturing into a live $1/$2 NL Hold'em game this week. The buy-in though is a bit different then I am used to. You can only buy in with $40 to start, no more, no less. So starting with only 20bb, what is the approach that you take?
Obviously there are the traditional variables, like stacks of people at the table, whether the table is playing loose or tight, etc. to consider, but I was wondering what kind of general tips you might have? My concern is that pretty much any pre-flop raise of 3x to 4x that is called by 2 others will pretty much pot commit me after the flop.
With that in mind, then does it make sense to shove more often instead of a regular 3x to 4x raise? Given the low buy-in relative to the stakes, is more luck needed than strategy/skill? I know that this is more than just one question, but I think they are related. Thanks so much for any advice.
