Hi I am new to the forums and relatively a beginner to poker even though I've managed to cash in on some tourneys but nothing to brag about. I was wondering what your strategy would be on this table.

At my local casino full of relatively rich people and gambling addicts who would pay almost any bet just to see the river. They play extremely aggressive just because they like to put money in the pot. Usually there are 4-6 people on the flop (if the table is full). The BB is 100 pesos which is roughly $2.5. The minimum buy in is ten BB. The rake is from 5-10 percent stopping at 3 BB or $7.5. Most of them lose their money and just buy in again.

My previous strategy has been to only play premium pairs and AQ, AK. Usually when you play a hand you end up going all in or betting half your stack. Is my strategy correct? Should I shove pre-flop with these type of hands to try and have only 2 or 1 guy on the flop? Should I change my strategy?

Thanks in advance!

As loose as they are, I would be playing premium hands and making them pay premium prices to play against me. We don't want 4 or 5 people in the hand if we have ACES even, so we need to weed out some of them. So bigger raises pre should at least take out some of the crumb bums. And the way they are playing, they are going to pay you off when you have a monster.

I agree with the advice above. Keep increasing the amount you raise until you only get 1-2 callers. If you have a premium hand, you want to charge them as much as possible pf.

I'd play really tight from the early positions, kinda tight from the middle positions, and just a little bit tight from the late positions if I were you.

Welcome to the forums. Out of curiosity where do you play? I'm curious because you mentioned pesos. I'm from the US but I've travelled to Colombia and Mexico both of which use pesos.

I hope you aren't buying in for the minimum (10BB), you simply cannot beat that rake with such a stack.

Is this limit hold em btw?

Thanks a lot for the advice will do. What would you recommend I buy in with?

Thanks! I am from Dominican Republic.

It is not limit hold em. And why should I not buy with the minimum?

I see. Thank you!

If players are buying in for 10bb and never folding, it's basically a crap-shoot. Your winnings (if any) will be almost entirely due to how often you get aces and how often they hold.
You can probably make money by only playing TT+/AK/AQs and shoving every time, but you'll be folding 95% of the time, and it won't be any fun for anyone. As Kelvis said, the rake would make this game pretty much unbeatable. Unless some fish are playing 100bb deep, it's barely worth getting involved, except for the thrill of flipping.

basically if you buy in small and play tight you will blind off most of you money before you get a good hand and likely will have to win the pot to be around even.

and if you play loose and buyin small then you are getting raked to death and will lose.

so your tight play needs a bigger buyin like at least 50 bb and play in such a way that you can get most of it in early when you have the best of it.

also take the advice of changing how you play based on your position. and if it isnt raised then come in with good but weaker hands and get out if you dont flop the best hand.

then start reading some books on poker so you can more clearly understand the strategy of playing. good luck.

10BB min buy in is way more common for limit games.

If you're playing 10BB cashgame and let's say pay the 10% rake, if you get it in preflop heads up the pot will be 18 instead of 20, meaning you only win 8 if you win and 10 when you lose. You need to be 55,6% favorite in the hand just to break even. Waiting for a premium hand will cost you like 3BB before you even get one, then you either need to get called by a hand you really crush or get some folds, none are that likely to happen. You need complete monkeys jamming their 84o for this game to be viable.
