So I play live 1/2nl at a local casino where the the max buy-in is $60
Im having trouble deciding what the best approach to these games would be. With the $60 buy-in, it leaves almost no room for me to try and outplay these guys after the flop. A standard preflop raise to $8 makes anyone pretty much committed already if they hit. Waiting for strong hands and value-betting the whole way usually works well but in a live casino being dealt 30ish hands per hour IF THAT, you can go long periods of time without seeing a decent hand.
Do any of you guys have any suggestions for this type of game? Playing loose doesnt seem to make sense to me given the short stack sizes, and playing tight isnt always profitable either.
help!??

What's the rake?

there's prolly no rake unless a flop happens. I would just camp then push sometime b4 the turn.

Sorry I dont know what you mean by BU? But anyway if somone raises and its folded around, the casino doesnt drop anything. Also if its folded to the blinds they can agree to chop. Hope that answers your question
