Friend wants to come and gamble with me on the weekend. Live game, terrible players, max buy in is 50BB but people typically buy in for 30BB or so. Stakes is pretty low (like $2 blinds).
He's pretty smart guy, but a noob. He wants a strategy to "not lose too much and maybe win something". What should I tell him?
Here's something I came up with like in 2 mins
AK, AQ, QJ, KQ, 88+ raise to (5+limpers)BB pre flop and get it in with anything 2nd pair or better, and any OESD and any flush draw.
Call with 22-77 and set mine or stick it in with an overpair.
anything else I can add?

Sorry I can't really contribute right now but I literally had planned to make a thread about this with everyone coming up with their ideas. Basically a "teach your friend how to win at poker in an hour".
As for your plan, not sure about getting it in with 2nd pair unless they're really horrible as you said but then getting it in with some draws = meh. If you tell him to setmine he better be sure he has the right set odds with those short stacks.

set mining isn't gonna be profitable all that much with 30bb stacks. also would suggest PFR'ing 3bb's+1 per limper with 50bb stacks

I don't know if this is allowed, but I give it a try. It is difficult to write down a decent stategy in this limited space.
You can check out my Beginner Strategy at pokertrainer.se
Hope it helps, and let me know what you think.

A lot of the no limit games in my local casinos suffer from small buy-in requirements. Basically, the trick is to be very aggressive with hands that play well heads up, be prepared for a lot of variance, and don't try and do much with speculative hands like small pocket pairs and suited connectors unless you feel you have a lot of fold equity, because your implied odds are usually going to stink.
Personally, I don't play a lot of no limit (my game is limit) but my usual approach to games with too low a buy-in is to pass and find another game.

I hate to say it but maybe AOK's load of horse shit if he still has it.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I remember my first hundred SNGs on party. I had no experience with poker, and while I was reading/developing my game- I had this simple yet surprisingly effective strategy.
BTW, I post this mostly for fun. I open shoved AA, KK, QQ, and JJ. I folded AK early, but shoved with AK in later game. Funnily, my ROI was above 20% after 100 games. Guess games was incredibly soft then, but it shows tight is definitely right when post flop skills is not developed.

When faced with adversity he has great means of escaping unharmed. He creates illusions and traps his prey. He never quite is what you think he is.
The octopus choses his fights wisely. Unlike the Great White Shark who fights the superior Great Ocra,- the octopus keeps feeding with minimal chance of becoming prey himself.

surviva316-
Did you quote me to make fun of me, or because you liked it?
And what was the acronym?
