What a strange game structure.
Just for clarity, if someone bets $300, and you want to raise, the max raise size is $600, effectively a min-click? And then if someone makes it $600, the next raise would be capped at $900?
So if someone opens to $80, and you want to 3B, you're capped at $300. If they call, you're going to the flop unable to bet even half-pot? At that point, it's basically a limit game?
I have no idea what tools you might use to solve this. But it does seem to create some interesting strategy considerations for both pre and post-flop. Curious to hear what adjustments you've made to play well in that set up.
My first thought is that we'd want to tighten up on all our ranges for every position, mostly play raise-or-fold pre, and use larger raise sizes pre to narrow the field as much as possible. Post-flop, I'd think a mostly fit-or-fold strategy would reap the best results.
ETA - quickly skimming the two links below, the advice in each seems to contradict the other. The Rakeback article appears to espouse playing LAG pre and making loose calls post-flop in limit games, whereas the Pokerology article espoused TAG play pre, without much if any discussion of post-flop play. The BB defend against a SB steal chart in the Rakeback article seems insanely wide, but again, it's a pure limit game.
A quick search for "pre-flop open ranges for limit games" turned up this -
