Can somebody explain to me the betting structure in a 2/4 limit game?

Is it correct the the SB is $1 and the BB is $2?

Also, are the maximum buy ins for limit? And lets say I have $200 worth of chips, am I allowed to sit down at a limit table if the max buy in is $100?

Thanks

That's correct, in a limit game the stakes refer to a small bet and a big bet. Preflop and on the flop you can only bet/raise in increments of the small bet. On the turn and river you can only bet/raise in increments of the big bet.

There usually isn't a maximum BI for limit.

Been playing live poker a lot, wanting to transition to online again. Was not good management online but things have changed from playing live. Im looking to put $5k on Stars. I'll have 20k on side for living and will be living in Thailand for only 4month.. I am unsure about what games I should play... when I did play online I enjoyed everything (besides 6max no he), I think that was my problem. Any suggestions? Maybe grind $25 mtt? 180man's mix with 45s also?, or plo50? I really don't want to play 6man cash as I have never played that online, only 6max plo and full ring live. Thailand is cheap living, rent will only be 350 were my buddy is at, food cost is cheap, and will only be doing 1 visa run.
Also, do I have to fill out tax papers while I'm at Thailand grinding? Thanks.

Would $100 be a reasonable starting amount of money to bring to the table in 2/4 ?

Considering that you sit down having a edge over the table you want to be able to extract the maximum amount of value.
For 2/4 this would be $48 ($8 pre, $8 flop, $16 turn, $16 river)
Its kind a dumb to fix at that number so $100 would be OK, just make sure you don't drop below incase you hit quads and some one keeps betting in to you

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it

is this logic correct?

if a villain has a low fold to 3bet %, I should 3bet him with a wider range for value. For example I should include hands like KJs, KQo,JJ in my value 3bet range

Any time

we have to in calculate why our opponent his f3bet% is that big.
It might be cause his raising range is small in the first place and for that reason he'll be folding lots less oftent then you'd expect him to. If this is the case your KQ might not be good.

We also have fishy villains who want to see a flop one way or an other and happily pay off your 3bet. Against those opponents we want to look upon how they play out ther hands.
If our villain is calling wide on following streets we might want to get our value when we actually did hit and can assume we have the best hand.

The biggest reason to raise these kinds of players thin is to set he phase to get called more often when we do raise for value with big hands against them and the rest of the table.

Generally speaking I don't like the idea of opening up your 3bet value range cause you'll be called more oftent.
You're usaly against weaker opponents and if not for isolation I rather out play him otf.

if the rake is 5bb lower should we expect to see a 5bb higher winrate? if we have same stake and equally skilled players.

If over long term the only changing factor is the lowered rake then we can assume that each pot we pick up would have up to 5bb added.
So yes we should expect a higher win rate.
note that rake goes up according to the pot size so in a practical situation we might not be able to take advantage of the rake being lower.

I'm wondering why you ask this question.

Edit: notice that there would be variable if the exact same plays are made with or without rake.
To take a extreme sample:
Say you have a 50bb pot.
A player temps to cbet 3 streets with exactly 1/2th pot and gets called to showdown.
See how that actually does matter if we put the 5bb rake on the flop aside for the house.
With rake: pot on the flop: (50-5) 45bb
Cbet 22.5 + call 22.5 = 90bb ott
180bb otr
360bb pot at showdown.
Without rake the cbets are bigger and if you do the math a 400bb pot gets chipt at the showdown.

I'm just wondering that if iPoker offers 55% RB, but has high rake. If site B offers 45% but has lower rake (5bb), would it be profitable to play there? If we think about this objectively, w/o external factors.

Notice that stars has a VIP system where not everyone gets the same amount of rake, I think starting of by bronze you get about 7%.
By the time you reach gold you'll probably get capped at 20% rake
Are you aware of this?
This might change things.

Whats the probability of flopping an ace if you hold KK preflop?

If you hold KK, there 50 cards left, 4 of which are aces. There are C(50,3)=(50*49*48)/(3*2*1) possible flops, and C(46,3)=(46*45*44)/(3*2*1) flops without an ace. Thus the probability of flopping an ace is 1 minus the probability of not flopping an ace, or

1-C(46,3)/C(50,3) = 1-(46*45*44)/(50*49*48) = 0.23

or 23%.

if you're getting 55% on ipoker, go there and play.

I'm still playing on stars just cause I don't mind paying a little extra for the great support and the game selection

Hi everyone.

First post here. Hope its the right place.

I'm very new to online poker, love playing with friends live and through i would take a look and see how things go online.

I am trying to build up a solid foundation of skills before I try anything fancy just to get used to everything.

Playing a very tight but aggressive game to avoid as much thin value situations as possible (hoping I have the terminology right)

What seems to happen is I win small and often then I will suddenly lose a big hand and my win rate comes crashing down.

This one hand stood out for me. What would you have done?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (9 max) - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

BTN: $1.16
Hero (SB): $2.41
BB: $2.12
UTG: $5.36
UTG+1: $3.89
MP: $2.67
MP+1: $5.59
CO: $1.97

Hero posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has K K

fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.08, BB calls $0.06, fold

Flop: ($0.18, 2 players) 9 A A
Hero bets $0.16, BB raises to $0.50, Hero raises to $1.66, BB raises to $2.04 and is all-in, Hero calls $0.38

Turn: ($4.26, 2 players) 5

River: ($4.26, 2 players) 7

is there any chart through which i can figure out what top 15% of hands (hole cards) are?

You should install Poker stove, and search the forums for a download link,

or equilab

pretty much the de facto replacement imo

Thx. Intuitively you'd think it would be much lower.

Welcome one 2+2
Kings are a strong hand pre flop, but with a ace on the flop and an opponent that keeps reraising you should reconsider wondering if you're not beaten.

You could call the $.50 raise and reevaluate but this ain't a hand you want to shove your stack in at.
The good thing about online poker is that action is much quicker then life, you get more hands dealt and following you can be a lil more pacient finding the money spots to get it in and go straight to value town.
