It's very tight; objective is not to lose my money and to make money consistently by exploiting players that take their hands too far, which is common at low limits in Vegas. Additionally, playing at least semi-tight at low limits in Vegas is more correct due to the high rakes.

Removes a lot of the guesswork from postflop play as well and enables me to protect myself somewhat due to under rolled.

I already know plenty about poker I've been playing forever and have read a ton of books (most of Sklansky and both Harrington books, enough FTR to kill a man, assorted lesser known players)


With AKs, I'm playing it tightly preflop out of position because:
1) A bet indicates a strong hand.
2) A raise indicates a pocket pair or better, against which my hand is disadvantaged and I could lose a chunk of cash against 2pairs and sets, while I have no guarantee that 99 will go the distance with a face card on the board. Even if I'm up against a superdonk that will raise AJo and better against pockets, it seems incorrect to push against him because there's a similar chance that he might have me dominated, and a much higher chance that I'm a 45% underdog and am leaking chips.

With position it's much easier to see a flop and judge his hand based on his first action instead of having to wait for a potentially expensive turn for info.

I didn't mention that if the pot isn't raised when it gets to me and I'm oop with AKs I'll put in like a 4-6xbb raise to give me a good heads up (low stakes vegas is a little slow to catch on and thinks that 3xbb=blinds)

Postflop play is easssssy with position. Fold to a strong seeming OOP bet unless you're strong. Raise it if you're strong unless you suspect a monster. If it's checked to you, take a free card or place a nice odds-based bet if you think you can improve easily, otherwise make a strong bet to drive out their odds.

In a multiway, either A) Milk it. or B) Make an exit. Chances are someone is strong or will draw strong enough to beat a pair often enough to make pushing the margins break even or worse, and why fight over 50 cents?
