Need Advice/Insight/Strategy for 5/10 live
Posted in Poker | View Comments (3)
 

For the past month or some I have played 200nl at commerce casino, where blinds are 3/5. Yes, I know 40bbs, not the most ideal situation. I have, for the most part, just played nitty as fuck and have been profitable. Sure I'm "the guy who has only played AA and KK" blahblah blah guy, but I'm still making money.

I've tried playing 5/10 once, in which you can buy in for 500 to 1500. I bought in for 1500 and tried playing the same old nitty way, and it just wasn't the same...mainly because the players are actually somewhat competent and observant. I think that opening my range is in order and playing a much more aggressive game to disguise my range. I'm not sure how extreme I should take it, how much I should open my calling range, especially given most are 150bbs deep, whether I should be 3betting more (not just nutted hands...3betting tends to get a ton of credit live but peoples opening ranges are also a lot tighter live since limping isn't uncommon for most...and people dont really like to fold preflop especially deep so im guessing i wont have a ton of fold equity...but I think it is important to have a 3betting range that isn't nutted..etc..etc..) I hope I'm thinking about this correctly, but that's why I turn to you guys leggo, i need help!

Any advice/insight/ ANYTHING would be amazing. Thanks leggo!

i think that 3 betting strat is the least of your worries...if you are looking to become competant at 5/10 live your going to need to open up your postflop game, sure calling and playing more pots pre is a necessity, but its board texture and bet sizing tells that you really need to focus on. i play all the time in vegas, mostly 2/5 but it correlates still into 5/10. backdoor aggression is very important (turn and river play) because that is where your going to be finding most of your folds. dont be afraid to get in there and mix it up, eventually your going to find something that works for you, gl!

Bet, bet, bet.
