Bad to be a nit at low stakes???
I recently had a massive downswing at 100plo mainly because I found myself bluffing in position vs the wrong players. I dropped down to 50plo, and it seems like every player has a vpip of atleast 40. It seems like being a nit is optimal since almost all players are unbluffable. I took my vpip down to less than 20 and stopped raising IP as often with weak hands (that is when i would cont bet too often and just get called).
Is this bad?? |

i fins at these stakes people call any 4 and any draw - forget bluffing unless your opponent is is HU with an 8 table rock and just play straightforward PLO - probably something like 20/7/3 is optimal for these stakes

Re: Bad to be a nit at low stakes???
I've played at 50 PLO for a couple of weeks and I don't really have the same experience. Players have a high VPIP, and there are common misconceptions like that any double suited hand is good enough to call a reraise preflop. I guess opponents will call a pot bet with quite little on the flop, but if you follow it up with a turn bet most of the time people will fold. Players are reluctant to put in a lot of money. Some players won't release a flush draw, but then you just bet again on the river if it doesn't hit and they fold.
I think you will lose out on a lot of money and a large part of the game if you decide that "all these idiots are unbluffable" and stop cbetting and stealing pots. Sure, maybe a lot of players don't think the same way as at higher stakes, but this simply means you have to adjust your game. |

I'm at 43/9/?(what's this one) and am running at 21bb/100 at micro stakes, mostly 25PLO with some 10/50 thrown in.
There are players that you definitely don't want to bluff at these stakes, but by the same token there are others you can really push around. I think it's a mistake to make assumptions based on the stakes. There is the full cross section of players at these levels, just with lesser BR and lesser skill and experience. |

Re: Bad to be a nit at low stakes???
thereŽs no point in bluffing at stakes up to plo200 as there are lots of people who wonŽt understand what youŽre trying to "tell" them and/or canŽt even read the board correctly. iŽve seen people call huge river bets (bluffs) with queen high because they thought they had a full house ...

being a nit is the best you can do imo. iŽll have to learn that myself though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. |
