Iv'e been playing limit for 6 years now I was once a terrible noob that quickly progressed into a decent Amateur. Now I consider my self a semi pro and would like to discuss the fundamentals of this game and get some feed back.
I believe check raising is the strongest play in low limit and free cards against the right players can make this game very easy. However the main conundrum in this game is aggression it will kill your bankroll faster than anything else and regardless of what any pro's will tell you this game is a reverse poker strategy.
In a Nut shell this game is still poker and not a bingo fest and while raising with ak off in position rules it still must be played with caution and not aggression post flop most of the time. Flops like 4-9-2 can be bet and continuation bet and often hold up on showdown as the best hand. Flops of A-j-4 with two spades,or A-5-2 often spell trouble and should only bet c betted to make a medium pots then checked call to showdown based on the fact you will lose 50% or more of the time. Essentially aj-aq-ak with spiked aces are no better than you holding 10-2 and flopping 10-7-4 2 suits that you don't have it's essential to understand the flush here..
Here is a list of my top 10 hands to play in 3/6 randomize these hands and you can kill this game
1.ax suited
2.aa
3kk
4qq
5-56 off
6-10-j off
7-ak 0ff
8 JJ
9 10-7 off
10 35 off.
You can see the trend here that all hands regardless should never be played suited unless it's ax to the nuts it's a huge factor in this game. Ironically all the other hands not on my list really aren't very strong in this game. Like qk not great even suited aj-q-j all average hands that suck. The pp are great in this game for sets, but because of the extra wide range of hands in this game by the other weird players will make a pair very unlikely to be good. Here is an example of your hand ranges your up against
You have 99
all opponents ranges j8-j4-j-6-k8-k9-k4-ak-a-2-a3 any ace... Also 7-5-10-4 etc.. As you can see here the range is so extreme that you must actually flop a set or hold a pp of 10-10 or better to feel good about having overs.
Give me some feed back here as you can see the range is wide multliway pots vs nl that has a much much tighter range even against agro players..
For some this makes this game unbeatable,but for me I can exploit the idiots and almost always have a plus session however walking away is a different story
