Alright guys...........
Been a tournament player for a while now and have slowly made the switch to cash.
Playing in the local casino's (1 - 1# i have been struggling to get heads up play, althought its not very accurate to categorise myself its easier so lets say im a TAG, the casino's i play in are full of nits and passive fish........
With the majoriy being nits i have widened my range when in late position, and the majority of the time heads up with these fish or nits i can out play them.
This however leads me to my problem, when it comes to me say on the button, they are usually around 4 limpers infront of, lets say i make a standard raise #3 - 4 x bb + 1 for each limper# if 1 of the blinds call, the first limper calls, then the rest convince themselves that they are priced in and call. Therefore im 5's up with a mediocre hand and obviously cant bet into the pot unless the flop is kind.
Do you suggest i buy in for the maximum, deepstack and over raise? therefore only being called by hands better or even dominating my range?
Or do i let these nits and fish get away with and take each other out, while i wait for premium hands?
Let me give you and examples, 3 limpers in the pot #i've folded# goes round to the big bling # a nit# who hasn't raised since hes been their, including the B's their is £5 in the pot, he raised to £12.00 he gets called with Q-J off, the flop comes Q rag rag, raiser pushes fish calls and wins the hand. I ask him what did you put him on? His blanks expression tells me that he hadn't even thought about it, but says something like tens #the gus had 7's), their is so much money to take of these guys i just dont think im capitilizing on it by being tight aggressive.
Please help any suggestions or advice welcome .....................
