thanks for doing the edit. I never posted one of these before and i will reference this for future posts.
I really didn’t have much of a table image nor did I have much info on the table. BTW I took my 1/2 profits plus starting stack and when it was getting action-less and towards the end of my night I jumped in this game.
I wasn’t there for that much time before this hand. I usually play 1/2 but I wanted to dabble in 2/5, and see the difference between both and to play more selective poker instead of having guys cracking my good hands with J 3 off; even if I tried to protect them etc.
This was my 2nd 2/5 table I played at... Table 1 a small percentage of hands I saw made it to the river and showdown; Table 2 played tight like that at times but at times it played like a 1/2 with limping in for the 5 and having half the table in the hand; as Table 1 never did that at all, but both had 20-40 avg pre flop raising with big bets to follow.
Side note....I’ve been searching the forums for a book to help me with 2/5 No Limit only; so far I’m considering Professional No Limit Holdem - Ed Miller and Angel Largay’s book
Also people recommend Sklansky too...I have The Theory of Poker, His small stakes hold em, and tournament book and I found them to be tough reads.
Years ago I read...Winning low limit holdem - Lee Jones & Pot limit & no limit poker - Stewart Reuben & Bob Ciaffone and found those easy to read. I really don’t like to read books, I’m more of a hands on person but I listed those books to give you some background
