should I play this live game?
where I am at the moment there's apparently exactly one live poker game. I haven't seen it but heard the details from someone who has played it.
It is NLHE, goes 10 handed and occasionally a bit less. Running ante of $10, with no blinds, and it is free to come in (i.e. you can open check). Min buyin is $400 and most of the players buy in for that. However most of them are pretty wealthy and have a lot of rebuys. I don't know exactly how big the game plays later on but I think there is no cap. The players sound really bad, like live 1-2 bad. Not sure if there are any tough spots but definitely some big fish. The catch: rake 5% uncapped. Also the fact that it is the only game in town and could be full or not going when I get down there, but assume I can get into the game no trouble. Assume I'm bankrolled for this game and have nothing better to do. Also that I'm not retarded at poker though i don't have much NL experience. Should I play?

I guess action starts to the left of the button preflop as well as postflop, though I don't know for sure. Normally in a game like this (with no blinds) you have to open for some amount, say it might be $50 to come in so the first guy has to bet $50 or fold. Here you can just limp in for $0, that was the distinction I was making.

Re: should I play this live game?
What hands am I going to get it in with preflop though?
Lets say it goes limp, limp, limp to me and I have 400 as do most of the others. I can't really shove 88 here, can I? with 9 players still having live hands. Also I have to err on the side of tightness since the rake is so high. Just wait and shove big hands and hope to get paid off? Given I only have enough chips to fold 40 hands this seems a bit optimistic.
