They do have $1/$3 games, but I suppose they are about the same players as $1/$2.
Before I sit down, I always spend 30 minutes watching a few of the tables just to get somewhat of a feel for the players.
@JacetheMind - the max is $60, I've tried doing that. I am not hitting the board. Even the cards I fold, they are not hitting. I'm not deep stacked enough to even bluff them. If they hit a pair, they are in it for the long haul. And because I am so short stacked, I can't call raises, very often. I can't raise or re-raise very often. I pretty much have two shots to win a big pot my first go around, or I have to wait for an all-in spot. Starting at 30BBs
Yea, a 30bbmax game is pretty awful, but still definitely beatable. You really should have only 3 plays preflop at 30bb max until you've doubled up at least once: Open raise, reraise- all in, or fold. Calling raises should be out of the question. You aren't deep enough to call, so stop doing it.
On the flop, if you're putting any money in, you're going all-in. You cannot bet/fold. Top pair is the nuts, overpairs are the nuts, good draws with any FE are the nuts.
After any hand that you lose, rebuy to the max. Playing with anything less is a disaster.
Stop paying attention to whether or not the cards you fold are hitting.
