5/10 Live, Flop top pair out of bb

With all due respect, you clearly didn't properly read the OP. . . the *max buyin* is 100, so everybody bought in for that amount.

Gotcha boss, and I did read it right the first time. I can sympathize with strange gambling laws. I live in WA, home of the $500 max bet.

I generally play $3/5 NL with a $300 max buy-in, and I know how the capped buy-in affects the game at that spread. I have often had a $2k+ stack in a game where people can only re-buy for $300. Some people will take the approach I mentioned and get crazy reckless trying to build a stack to "compete." They often get into the game for $1200-1500 just trying to get a stack built up. (beautiful situation by the way.) I was just guessing that people do the same thing in the FL games.

I am pretty much an exclusively live player and I know what range people are likely to be in this hand with. If I am short stacked in the BB and catch TPNK in a 6-handed pot, I will c/f.

What is the best play you see? Bet $20-30 praying that any draws don't realize they are priced in and that no-one else has a K/set/two pr and raises you off of your hand? Even if you get a caller or two you almost have to shove any turn card. Just not a good spot to be in IMO.

Just c/f this and wait till you have a better hand in a better spot. Shouldn't take long at all.

Edit: Sorry if this (or my first post) reads as an attitude post, not intended that way, just tired and trying to give some advice. I really would try to find a $1-2 or $2-4 game with a $100 max buy-in. That way you at least have a little room to outplay people and win more money with less gambling involved.
