I was wondering if anyone had a good strategy for the micro level donkey fest ring games. I've been getting hammered at the 0.05/0.10 NL ring.
What I've noticed this past 2 days is:
c-bets are worthless. These people will call you down to the end of time with any draw.
bluffs don't work, ever. ever. ever. Phone booths ( calling stations ) can't be bluffed, they will call down with Jack high.
If they hit any part of the flop, they are married to the hand, and disconnect the fold button.
There is no such thing as a "starting hand requirement" for these people. I got squished by a person playing a 5-7 offsuit, even after raising PF.
How do you adjust your game to this abysmal level of play?
What % of flops is normal to see? The last 100 hands, not counting the BB free flops, I saw 21 flops. Is that about right?
I'm not sure why I'm bad at this, or if it's just a bad string of luck. I started being FAR more aggressive betting, over betting the pot etc. But lately what's happened is I sloooooowly build up my stack, then lose it all in one hand. Then sloooooowly build it up, lose it in one hand. repeat.
I do well in SNG's and MTT's but not in ring games, trying to figure out a good system.
I just saw someone call a NINE times the BB preflop raise, out of position, with a K 4 off suit. How do you play against these fish? I'm at a loss. (literally and figuratively speaking)
