Tips for Foxwoods 4-8 limit (first-timer)?

The 4-8 is awesome. Had a couple 8 way raised pots tonight. How's that sound?

--The 10-20 is BAD, but it's bad for 10-20. If the highest you ever play is 1-2 I wouldn't go higher than 5-10.

They don't have 5-10, only 5-10 kill. At least they didn't since the last time I was there. Is there 5-10 now with the new card room?

25BB makes for a nice even rack of yellow. I wouldn't say tightening up is a good idea. There are usually so many people in the pot that you can really loosen up in late position (assuming your postflop play is good). I'd say the SSH loose games chart is probably good, but only if you understand why the hands that are on it are on there. If you're just blindly following the chart, you probably aren't ready to play quite that loose.

If you've never played higher than 1-2, try not to think about dollar amounts. Allways count the pot in terms of bets.

Furthermore, thinking that players at a 4-8 game will "pick you apart" if you sit down with more than 30BB makes you more of a fish than they.

True - I wasn't considering the low limit.
