Hi all,
I was playing an 11 hour live session of $2/$4 limit yesterday at the casino. The table was really conservative though. We saw a lot of showdowns, never saw a capped bet in the entire session.
Preflop, there was 5 or 6 preflop raises in the entire 11 hour session. Very very little preflop action.
Post-flop, very little bluffs, just pretty much straight up poker with the occasional slow-play.
How would you play this table?
-- What starting hands would you play?
-- How would you modify your betting/bluffing/slow-playing?
-- How else would this conservative, straight-up game (and friendly, no caps) affect your play?

your use of the word "conservative" is very ambiguous. are you referring to the tight-ness or passive-ness?

Depends ... need more info. Ave # to flop, are a lot of people folding post flop, or just calling down?

Not tight so much as passive. I see some questionable cards at the showdown, but betting is never strong.
Usually 4-7 to flop. Rarely less than 4.

With a table this passive, you can limp a lot of marginal hands even UTG. Suited connectors, low pp, Axs. This is assuming at least a few people are taking their hands too far, so that you have the implied odds you need. Normally, in late position, with no raisers, you can raise a lot of hands because the odds are diminished that a big hand is out (for example raising ATo on the button), but with the preflop play so passive, this assumption is no longer true. You may want to just call the weakest of the offsuit high card hands you would normally raise here. Post flop you want to be aggressive, but watch out if you are played back at and try to pick up on who has tight calling standards (fold the flop a lot, only show down good hands) so you know where you are at.
