Parx and Maryland Live mostly. Commerce was the same way. In a full 9 handed game, pots are always 4-6 to the flop. At Maryland live it was closer to 6-7 and people were literally only folding trips pre lol. In essence, these games are a test of your patience. Nobody will care that you haven't played a pot in an hour when you start capping, they will mostly be playing their relative hand strentgh. Now, when pots are heads up/3 ways on the flop and turn, this is where "reads" can be more helpful and provide bluff opportunities. However, keep in mind that when someone is getting 20-1 on a call, they aren't folding AAxx on a KJ44Q by the river. Can't tell you how many times they "just want to see it." So the only bluff opps are when you are pushing the action on a HLL flop and the turn and river come HH and the other players look unhappy/disinterested on the river. But even still, be prepared to get called down light based on the massive size of the pot relative to the size of one bet. Have I been guilty of putting in money on the river in a spot I knew I had to get extremely lucky to get half (I.E. 23xx on a 456xx runout where the last x completes a flush or boat)? OF COURSE! But the key is just to play tight - you are there to make money, not gamble. Remember that when you look down at 88910 in middle position...
