Re: A Newbie Guide to B&M Small Stakes No Limit Cash Games
[ QUOTE ]
As for tipping, again, people will tip more than $1, but I feel (especially for low-limit games), that anything over $1 is excessive for anything other than absolutely massive pots. When you factor in a $3 rake + a $1 BBJ drop, there's very little room left for tipping. Opinions may vary, but I feel that $1 per hand is a very generous tip as it is. As you play higher limits, the opportunity to tip larger may increase. [/ QUOTE ] agree that $1 is fine, except I always feel incline to tip bigger when the dealer saves me from a cooler.

Re: A Newbie Guide to B&M Small Stakes No Limit Cash Games
this is an excellent post. I play a lot of BM small stakes and I love this post. As for those posting about tipping, do what you feel is best. I tend to give 1-2 bucks on a decent hand(35-40 bucks). On huge megapots of 125-150+ I tend to give $5. The largest single pot i won was a $425 pot and I gave the dealer $10. Now, obvious that is being very generous. But to say, $1 is the overall norm regardless of the pot, is more a personal decision(though I think that you are being cheap).

[ QUOTE ] Is this true? Most of the regs tipped like $1 every pot but many others tipped $3-$5 or more on bigger pots. [/ QUOTE ] Conspicuous consumption. You have no need to follow suit, unless you want to be known as "that guy who tips $5 on every $80 pot". [/ QUOTE ] If you tip any more than $1 per hand at 2/5, you will be tipping away all your profits.

Re: Beware the Mini-Re Raise
[ QUOTE ]
Beware the mini-Re Raise in B&M 1/2 NLHE games. I've seen many players in 1/2 NLHE games make mini-re-raises with their AA/KK in these B&M cash games. The counter strategy is simply to SILENTLY thank them and smooth call with your QQ using the strategy...no set/no bet. If you get a flop of AQx or KQx.....turn your radar on to detect a possible set over set.... [/ QUOTE ] I have also seen "large" or "all-in" re-raises pre-flop disproportionate to the current pot size. Be very wary around these. Especially, if the player has a smallish stack (less than a max buy-in) and has not entered any/many hands. Likely hands are AA, KK. Did I mention AA?

Re: A Newbie Guide to B&M Small Stakes No Limit Cash Games
I enjoyed reading the original post, as well as the addendums that the OP added later on. Thanks for writing it!
Anyone want to take a shot at writing up something regarding how to open up your range against a loose/passive table, and use superior post-flop skill to outplay the other players? That reply was intriguing.
