Help me adjust to big blind gets the button limcash
to clarify, the game I need to adjust to is one where the SB acts first pf and postflop.
The most obvious adjustment to me would seem to be playing a lot tighter in the SB. In a normal HU limit game I play raise/fold otb. Should I be limping the SB at all in this backwards structure? I'm also thinking since the BB has position the whole hand I can 3bet people alot more on average. Any other advice for this structure? |

Re: Help me adjust to big blind gets the button limcash
In a structured game like limit hold em , the problem with having a raise or fold strategy oop is that you don't have any fold equity even when you do raise . In any case , I limp more often in situations where I'll be oop post-flop . So a hand like 10-9 may not necessarily be worth a raise pre-flop when oop .
Just to give you a little perspective . Greg Raymer has said in a past archive that he prefers to raise oop with hands that have an equity of 55% against a random hand . Hands like : j-10 ,k-7, q-9 , etc . However , you should be willing to raise pre-flop with some garbage hands to remain undetectable . |

So you want to tighten up in the SB by only playing your top 60% or so. Depending on your opponent's range from the SB you want to defend almost everything from the button (minimum top 80% against normal player).
I would only limp against the most passive of opponents but most of the time I'm raising or folding. YT |

Re: Help me adjust to big blind gets the button limcash
I don't know much about limit but in NL if ur IP u should better call than 3bet PF. On the other hand OOP u should 3bet more to diminish the position advantage.
Can someone explain to me why limit is not like that? |
