[Closed] problems at 3/6 on FullTilt

I don't play those stakes, but from what I hear "the most profitable game" has become more loose. at other sites I'm reading that 32/25 kinda stats are the new 23/18

I don't think it's very "range-based" though, but more opponent based. isolating weak players with a lot of hands, raising more from BTN and CO against blinds who fold much preflop or postflop.

At this very moment I paused a video from a training site, on the left table he's openraising J5s, on the right table he's raising JTs on the BTN after 2 limpers.

But then again, many roads lead to Rome, and if you multitable a lot of tables this loose style might be a bit hard to do.

I play 3 tables.
Sometimes only 2 tables. Of course I do a great table selection ( and seat selection )

Hi danielasso,

I'm not used to FTP but it is possible to win at 3/6$. (I'm myself a constant winner there.)

I dot think that you need to get looser on these limits yet as it's harder to play so you can make more mistakes and the rake is high on these limits as well and with a higher VPIP you pay more rake which may turn you into a break even player.

@G1lius: Your two examples are how to not play right? Rasing JTs after two limpers is extremly stupid in my opinion. ♦
Which training site do you mean?

stoxpoker by Bryce Paradis, a multi-million online winner, so I do think he knows what he is talking about.

The topic was 'winning pots in no showdown', so he might have adjusted his range a bit there.

The J5s is just a bit of a looser openingrange against tight players to his left, plus the fact people in low-limits (he was playing 2/4) don't 3-bet that much, and don't adjust if you're raising more, and the fact tight players play less or more fit or fold postfop.
His comment on the JTs hand: both his opponents have a pretty wide range (both vpip of 60+) and he's in possition. Even if he just flops a top pair of tens or jacks, he would often be good against their ranges.

Why then in the silver chart it says to raise JTs after two limpers? I don't understand anything anymore.

I assume he must have been joking, although the joke is a bit obscure!
Give me the button and I'll be raising 87s after two limpers!

But TheBryce can't be compared to us in any way. He's probably the best LHE player ever.

This!

If you start playing JTs you will lose money in any case. You didn't mention all reasons why he played that hand in his specific situation and I understood it as you say that this should be a standard play.

Raising a hands preflop just because you will be ahead with a pair is not a reason to raise it as you won't make that pair often enough etc..

@danielasso: I play at PP only at the moment.

But adr0001 is right... raising JTs against two limpers IS standard in the silver chart.
And to be honest, if two people limp in front of you, I kinda expect them to have a pretty high vpip anyway.

Raising hands because we will be ahead if we hit a pair IS a reason imo. That's why we raise AK and AQ, etc. If we see a showdown unimproved multiway, we're not likely ahead with those hands.
That's why we don't raise 55 in this scenario, because even if we got a same amount of equity preflop, if we don't hit a set, we're not likely ahead.

I don't think Bryce's skillset really matters, he obv. has a bigger edge postflop, but that doesn't mean that it can't be +EV to do for players like us.

Limping JTs would be better than raising in that spot.

Lol that is really new to me. I will ask why JTs is raised there. Maybe it indeed has an equity edge.

AK/AQ is raised because we have an equity edge for sure and for highcard value. We are ahead unimproved in a 3-way way more often than with JTs so this is a reason.
I agree about 55. It poften has a small equity edge but this won't last very often after we saw a flop.

A lot advanced plays may be +EV for the high limit players but not for us. Not pnly because we have a lower postflop edge but because their opponent plays different as well.

EDIT: My first answer was a bit rude. I did not mean to offent you G1lius. Sorry if it looked like that.
