i have no idea where to put this, so i'll put it here since its LHE format, but live play.

instead of the bets being .25/.50, everyone settled on .10/.25.

that makes the blinds .05/.10 and the turn brings the betting to .25.

what adjustments are smart, excluding the fact that these live players are bad?

do we loosen up a good bit on the early streets and wait for turns to protect our hands. do we peel gutters on flops knowing we get paid if the gin card hits the turn? is a flop c/r even worth anything other than pot building?

seems we loosen up preflop and flop, but tighten down and charge maximums on turns and rivers?

conversely, if we had a structure of .50/.75....wouldnt the opposite hold true? playing everything worth a crap to showdown if we took it to the flop?
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

basically you just have to figure your implied odds on future streets are bigger in comparison with the pot size as opposed to your basic structure.

Thus, peel lighter.

Also, take into account a free card on turn is worth much more relatively than in a normal structure.
