So, me and about 5 friends play a regular cash game, we used to play tournament style, but they decided to switch. I was a strong advocate of switching to cash game, but now it seems ridiculous, because:
Blinds are .25/.50 even though most players have $20, except one guy that always brings $30.
25-50% somebody raises to $1-3 preflop
What should I do to be able to make more profit? At the moment I limp in wherever possible, and raise when I have a good hand.
the last couple of times we've played it has turned out like this
Starting money---ending
$25----------------$27
$10----------------$10
$20----------------$50
$20-(rebuy $10)(rebuy $5- total $35)----------$0(I got called on two very large bluffs, and had a bad beat on another)
I'm a tight player, and find it really hard to make a lot of money in these games. Should I keep pushing for the .20/.10 blinds, or what are some new play styles I can try out? For some reason they won't change the blinds.
NOTE- the people I play with have not been playing long, neither have I. We're just high school students.
I would put this in the beginner forum, but I think the responses may be too basic.
