how to play a 100% preflop cap table

Olrik · #1 06-04-2007, 05:41 AM

it happend to me a few days ago on a 1/2 sh table. seat3 und 6 were taken by 2 guys who capped every hand preflop for more than 100 hands, postflop their AF was 1. something and their wts was a bit above 30. so you can say that they knew about the existance of the fold button (at least postflop).

so which hands would you play assuming that if you enter the pot if it will be 3 to 5 way capped when you see the flop?

I would e-mail the support and ask about collusion

yeah i mean 99% of the time this is a hugely profitable situation. but this also seems like a great way to best hand, doesn't it? especially the wtsd numbers.

I think SSSH has a good discussion of this topic

basically tighten up a lot

I rememember it saying something like if you only played AA in this situation you'd be able to make a profit. However, this wasn't optimal. But yeah, tighten up a lot and clean house when you get big hands.

If they cap any2 over 100 hands preflop, why cant we play any hand that has an equity edge versus 2 random hands?
At the flop we reevaluate an play "normal" poker.

play 99 and up, ATs and up, AJo and up, and you'll make decent money. if they really were doing that every hand, i would take a minute away from the table to actually stove the scenario and add more hands.

i don't see why you would want to play tighter. they're going to build huge pots with trash hands and still play normal poker postflop? that is obviously incorrect and exploitable. You can draw to gutshots profitably on 2 streets most likely so get in some pots and enjoy the variance.
