Default Re: 5/10 limit trip at Foxwoods, like advice on preparing

Identify the loose, passive, calling station players quickly; this will comprise the majority of yr opponents. Do not try to bluff them. Value bet them at every opportunity.

With the nuts/close to nuts stuff the pot. Also, on hands that are clear favorites, stuff the pot. There is no need to slow play or be deceptive; whereas in higher games you may give yr hand away/kill action, there is almost no chance of that in this game. People will draw to fewer than 5 outs liberally.

There are some rocks in this game occasionally. As DiRossFan said it is time-of-day dependent for their quantity and quality. A turn-raise from them usually means you are drawing dead.

You will see some truly horrible play. Some players will have astoundingly wide hand ranges that do not account at all for position.

It is a really good game. I would suggest treating as if it were 7/15 psychologically since (at least when I played it) it usually was half kill on average. Of course, if you get a wild table it could be kill after kill.... Have fun, some of the regulars are nice people. Do not worry about results, just make the wisest decisions at all times. good luck.
