Re: a newbie\'s thoughts fixed buyin NL games
[ QUOTE ]
Look. This is a party fest game fueled by mucho alcohol and free flowing rebuys. Since the buyin is only 20 times the BB plan on making as many as six to ten rebuys (if the fixed buy was 33 to 60 times the BB 5 to 3 is enough). Play good cards and try to double or triple up. Don't waste these rebuys, it's nice if you don't have to use more than one or two. Give it time and your stack approaches the average stack since despite the drop a rebuy (from some player) goes in almost every hand.
Once you get stacks of about 60BB now you're playing medium stack NL holdem. You have a chance to play well and if you double through or gobble some smaller stacks you get to let's say 110BB. Now you may have one of the three big stacks at the table. AND NO DECENT PLAYER CAN SIT DOWN AND MATCH YOUR STACK RIGHT AWAY. Play well against the other deep stacks (often they just got lucky) and now you can have a game where you rule with a stack size of 200-300 BB and you adjust your game to playing against the effective stacks which should be smaller than yours. MEANWHILE NO DECENT PLAYER CAN SIT DOWN AND MATCH YOUR STACK RIGHT AWAY. That's the beauty of highly restricted fixed buy baby NL games. Your donkfest is protected from the danger of decent players taking a spot in your fishbowl.
