12-handed game

**johnnyawe** · 12-12-2004 02:55 AM

A friend played in a home game tournament where they had 12 people, and it was just one table. So they were playing 12-handed at the beginning.

Is there any reason why a 12-handed game wouldn't work? Why is 10 always the magic number for max players at a table?

you'd need a pretty big phat ass table to fit 12 ppl.

And 12 handed just isn't fun. I'd never get to play my suited connectors.

You're right. I'm reading Super System and Doyle talks about how 11 player tables are not fun the way 9 player tables are. Even though it is only 2 more people it makes a big difference.

Yah, to put it in perspective. 9 vrs 6 is just 3 people.

And it's a different game.

Hmm i would think that suited connecters would go up in value in 12 handed game, unless with so many poeple there is always a raise. I guess it becomes more omaha and a game of near nuts.

with 10 limpers every round, almost every hand becomes profitable.

Our home games we fit 12 at a table. Quite fun. Then again 3 of them earn the nick name calling station and they go broke in about 30 minutes or less.

there is nothing like a family pot of limpers hehe

They dealt NL 11-handed at Bally's AC.

IMO, You should become even more Tight/Aggressive with 11/12-handed table.

Your standard pre-flop raise should increase from the standard 3xBB to thin the field even further.

It is even more risky to slowplay big pairs up front.

Slow play big pairs preflop?

Becuase I think you can limp with AA since there are 3 more people who might opt to raise opening the door for your punishing over-the-top move.

on suited connectors is a twelve handed game. I'm going to play them if it is a limit game. I'm not if it is NL. The extra bets in the pot would make it worth seeing the flop in limit. NL you're just that much more likely to be punished for playing a marginal drawing hand.
