Strategy for $1/$3 cash game with $100 max bet limitation

My local casino has a Gov't imposed maximum bet limit of $100. A $1/$3 game is what the casinos spread. The rules are that no bet/raise can be > $100. For example if player A bets $25 then player B can raise to $125 and player C can then re-reaise to $225.

Is a game with the $100 maximum bet limit beatable? If yes, what strategies should I study to be positioned to beat this game?

You just can't shove and raise that much, I see no other difference.

But it's sure beatable, because others have to handle it too.
Others may hide top cards by that better, so I would play a bit tighter first, but that depends on the table.

AG play is a more unfavoured here.

Just play your game like you normally do

tight play untill your a huge stack on table then play everything

Definitely beatable unless rake is high and game is nitty.

Generally play Tight-agressive in lowstakes cash. Being loose-passive is an easy way to lose.

Thank you for your response. The rake is staggered up to $5 (10/20/30/50/60) plus there is a $1 for the player promotions.

The $1/$3 is a game of limpers - so in order to fold them out a pre-flop raise has to be 6x-10x + 1bb for each limper. If the pre-flop raiser gets 2 callers the pot is already ~$60. One of my concerns is when this pot reaches the turn it will be >$100, I think it is a scenario where neither player is making a mistake on the turn/river. The player with the best hand should bet but is limited to $100 max which will almost always make it correct for the player with the 2nd best hand to call.

Maybe I'm overthinking it...

People will still make many mistakes.

Essentially this is Cap limit pre, then turns into pot limit, then into limit in big pots.

This will be a very good game, look at how soft most limit games play yet.

Do you recommend studying pot limit & limit strategies to be prepared for the big pots?

Thank you Ryan! I'll get back to you in a few months to let you know how it is going.

YES IT S beatable, because all the players are playing with the same rules. So you re all in the same boat.

Thank you. I read the long post that you linked to; however, it didn't seem to have any information (strategy) about this specific type of game with a $100 max bet. The article was more about the general rules of the Hold'Em game and the odd/outlier situations that come up in managing the rules of the game. Perhaps I'm missing something...

i think draws would be slightly more favored in big pots

This sounds terrible. Lol

Yes, the bigger the pots more draws are going to get favored, the more you know opponents don't like folding preflop you need to be exploitable to the maximum, they know they are only going to have to pay 100 dollars max on future streets, so in circumstances make them play for more earlier on. In general once you get to the turn and river draws are going to have higher value just because they are going to easier beable to realize their equity and when they hit it is going to be very hard to be able to fold a second best hand with pot odds.

sounds to me like flush draws and open ended straight draws are GG in this type of setting. Probably nobody's folding them either.
