casino dilemma

[osoverride]

at a local casino card room.
NLH 50/100 blinds $1/$2 full ring mixed playing styles mixed stack sizes, cash game.

my question is this.... does it seem a lil strange that the max buy in is only 50bb compared to a 100bb norm? also i have a strategy question. at this casino almost all the players at the 50/100 (small stack table) play for their stack almost every hand. making pot sized bets on every street. how would you try to control the action. how would you play this type of table?

im asking because yesterday i was playing at one of these 50/100 and i i sat down with 100 "everyone has me covered", im seating in at seat 3 at a semi aggressive table with a few nits and more meglo maniacs. i notes quick that almost all are playing big pots only and they play only abc. the guy to my right in seat 2 is a POW and VARY aggressive (willing to go all in calling and betting with nothing). after playing a few orbits picking up a few small pots from stealing the blinds and playing a nit post flop i loose half my stack with AAs(ill talk about that in a min). so i have about 45/50 doll left and its im in the BB. Table folds around to the SB"seat2" Player has <font color="white"> </font> J10off <font color="black"> </font> (his hand is in white to the left)he has me covered, and im holding q9 of demands. he bets 12 to go "almost a norm at this table. so i call in the BB flop comes 239 rainbow. he puts me all in. i call knowing he has nothing like always "he only over bets the pot on a semi bluff and a stone bluff" turn is a J and the river is a 10.


so i would like some input on this type of game if you don't mind.

"that hand that i lost with AAs"
i want to put this because it might give a better preview on how this table is going.
im in the im in the CO with AAs and i have less then everyone. there was a limp for the UTG so i raise to 15" a lil bit more the the opening norm" the table flds to the SB and he calls and the UTG calls. flop comes 10 7 4. SB donk bets pot and the UTG calls i call. pot gives puts my stack to pot almost even. turn brings a 5 "everything is rainbow. SB donks a $50 bet UtG raises to all in "more then i have and less then SB by about 6 dolls. i fold and SB calls. SB shows 710 and the UTG shows 68.
