I've been sucked back into fast fold cash
poker games over the last week, tourneys just take up so much time and few weeks to cool off a pretty bad cash run has done wonders for my mental state. I've jumped straight back into snap on
888, playing 6 max at the 1/2c tables with 50bb max starting stack.
Snap in particular is an interesting variant, due to the lack of hud stats on the table. I've started off by treating the general population as nits on these tables and really just sticking to a basic formula without specific reads, but am trying to expand on that strategy now that I have a few stats within my database that I can look up to see who the tighter and looser regular players are.
These games are very soft on 888. The quality of the field at
pokerstars is much tougher based on my past experience. I'm trying to stick to fairly standard 6 max ranges. In just a few days play I'm up over $8. The swings have pretty noticable though.
The best thing about fast fold variants is the massive number of hands you get in and the convenience of it. No question the average player is tighter and you have to keep that in mind, exploit it where possible and get out of the way when they play their cards face up with big bets and shoves.
