I've recently played the 50cent/25cent tables and it seems everyone is super tight. How do you beat these tables?
It seems like people are only calling with pocket pairs and folding everything else. So naturally I open up my range, because everyone is super tight. Only 14% of people on average are seeing a flop.
2 out of 3 times I could pretty much get the blinds from even early position without a fight. 1 out of 3 times I get 3-bet and am forced to fold. That makes me break even since my opening size is 3X.
When it is my turn to post the blind I have to fold most of the time, because a super tight person will raise in an early or middle position and I can't defend with crap which I most often will have there. That means in the long run I'll lose money.
I tried opening up my range even more, but then I got mercilessly 3-bet so can't do that. I could tighten up, but that is what they are doing and I'll get eaten by rake.
When people limp in at these tables you have to be afraid too, because some of these people's limp ranges are strong as hell.
It feels like the game is at a perfect equilibrium and there is no way to exploit it. Any advice for how to beat the 50cent tables would be great. Please help me. I lost 3 buy-ins just recently before I stopped playing and posted this.
