I play mainly NL 2-5 but in my home state of MN we can not deal NL cash so the card rooms deal spread limit games. It seems that pre flop the game plays very close to a 1-2 NL game but post flop the bets come out much larger then NL. Is this true or just in the games that I have sat in (3 so far). Example you may get an early caller then a mid position raise to $6 and get 3 total callers so about $20 in the pot. Then on the flop it seems that $30 is a standard bet, I see that as very large but is it a function of spread v's NL? Then things seem to slow down to again a $30 bet on the turn and the river runs a large range with little to no large bluffs. Is this normal and I need to adjust off NL thinking or is this game playing strange?

Sounds more like the game is playing strange then anything. Over betting flop when you know you can get value from worse can be OK but it's very rarely a good idea in non-limped pots. Betting the same on turn as on flop is also almost always a bad idea.

The spread limit will cut down bluffing on river. Bluffing river is rare at 1/2 anyways because most players are stationary leaning. Once the pot gets big ($200+) you can't bet enough to get opponents to fold any hand with real show down value.

Just your games. BTW, search 2-100 ITF for some good threads on the subject.

Where in MN are you playing? I have some experience with 2-100 there. Can post some more detailed thoughts later if you want.

this game is at canterbury

In So Cal and in many Vegas 1/2 games, a bet larger than $100 occurs roughly once every 14 to 25 hands in my experience. But multi way action for $30 is much rarer than in your game.

Wish I had your games to play in!
