Deep Stacked Table w/Restricted Buy-In

DMP · #1 04-29-2006, 02:10 AM

How do you deal with entering a restricted buy-in game that's been going for a while and the average stack is 3-6 times the buy-in? Do you just wait to find a table with more reasonable stack sizes or should you just get in. I'm finding that when you're that behind going in, you don't really have a lot of room to play. Your raises and re-raises don't mean too much and it becomes far easier to get sucked out on.

This isn't a tournament. Stack size should not be of concern during a cash game because you can reload at anytime. Just play your game. Dont bluff calling stations, value bet against loose players. It doesn't get much harder than this. Just because they have chips, doesn't mean they are going to call you down every time. And if they do, play good cards, simple as that.

I think he means NL.

play games with no restriction or a higher restriction where you can at least buy in for 100bb

In a ring game the size of the other stacks is really only relevant if they're smaller than yours.

Play, get deep, enjoy

what part of photoc's reply could have possibly led you to beleive he thought op was speaking of a limit game?

The part where he said the stack sizes dont matter since you can always rebuy.

When you re-buy, you still have the same or worse (now that the table has your chips) relative stack size in relation to the rest of the table, so you still have the same dilema. How many re-buys are generally the rule?

what limit games have a restricted buy in?

Interestingly, every cardroom I've every played in lets the no-limit players, as well as the limit players, rebuy as often as they wish. Perhaps there's some cardroom somewhere that makes you give up your seat when you bust out, and perhaps that cardroom's existence leads to posts like this on 2+2 (because a lot of people talk as if you only get one buy-in per session at a casino NL), but I have yet to find that elusive cardroom.
