What's your opinion on short tables? What I mean is those that have half the usual maximum buyin? (Short means 50BB maximum buyin. Not 100BB)
I stopped playing 2NL 6max at 888 because they are short. ACR has a couple of short tables as well
I personally don't like them because it limits your plays in so many ways.
I can't play 888 since I'm not in
New Jersey. I don't like buy-in limits anyway: it's supposed to be no-limit right? If there's a buy-in limit, it should be equal to the biggest stack on the table or 100BB.
As for limiting buys to 50BB, sounds like a gimmick to me. It's still Poker, and you play accordingly, knowing that your SPR is going to be quite a bit smaller than normal. That means you're playing almost like it's fixed limit. Stay away from the speculative hands like mid suited connectors, (A,x-s) and small pockets. You'll be needing hands with staying power, and that means big cards most of the time. If you speculate, it needs to be from a late position, and for no more than one BB. Know even if you hit gin, you're not making very much.
You'll have to tighten up, especially out of the #1 and #2 holes. (Q,J) (K,T) (K,J) (A,T) pretty much go into the muck up front, especially if off-suit. The exception would be an unusually nitty table where you believe you have a reasonable chance to steal, even from the early positions, or the occasional up front open with junk/speculative hands to keep your more astute opponents guessing.
