50nl: CAP games on fulltilt

[th3h4x]

Hey guys, I'm new to the site. Wanted your input on the cap games? I have 1k bankroll and I want to play headsup ..and not starting tables they fill up to quick with the august happy hournow...Is it stupid to play the cap games? with my bankroll should I just wait til about 2k to start headsup?

I'm not a fan of HUSNG, sooo any input would be nice =)

EDIT: and should I be min-raising since its capped?

what are capped games?

[th3h4x]

They are games that are still at the normal blinds but have a cap to how much you can bet total on one hand. So at .25/.50, the blinds are still those, but the maximum you could win/lose in one hand is 15 dollars instead of 50

If I were going to write a poker bot; capped HU is the game I would write it for.

[Fuzzy Logic]

Agreed. Cap games can be solved looking at ranges. I would recommend looking at HUSNG strat for a basis to do this. As for min raising, as a default, that is where I would start and adjust based on opponenets 3betting strat.

I played some NL50 HU there on both deep, regular and capped tables. My assumption was that I'd have a lot of success at the cap tables since why would any good players want to limit their edge by playing short?

Anyway, according to PTR I seem to have a lot better success at the regular tables. I feel that in the shallow tables its hard for the weak players to make large mistakes - while if they tilt in a deep table they can loose two stacks at the time with ridiculous hands.

(fwiw I'm a NL100-NL200 FR player but wan't to be better at HU to improve my game and because its so much fun)

Edit: If the games are to be solved I'd be more worried higher up, the competition at the NL50 CAP tables is quite soft though. The rake is an issue though as you push small pots back and forth.
