Default Re: Soft play at 1/2 NL?

You are a regular at 5/10 and 10/20 LHE? I play most games at Foxwoods at the level you do, and in my experience this is relatively uncommon at 1/2 NL compared to games involving older players. It's far, far more common at O8 and the lower limit stud games, where it is often done unspoken. Several O8 regulars will simply stop betting when 2 end up heads up in a pot without any agreement whatsoever. At a 5/10 stud table I was at the entire table seemed to be implicitly agreeing that once headsup (70%+ of the hands at this tight passive table) there would be no more betting, which meant literally no bets when in on 3/4 of the hands after about 4th street.

Makes for an interesting strategy adjustment-- how do you draw when you know you won't get paid off for getting there, but can chase all the way far more cheaply than normal? The adjustment I decided on was "find a new table."
