Message: [QUOTE="SPCotter, post: 1383270, member: 48076"] Just OzExorcists last point, at many casino games you can expect the 'standard 3bb raise' to be thrown out of the window, and if you want to isolate the pot at all with a good hand, your gonna be wanting to open with a bigger raise. ofc this depends on the game, and you'll pick up how the game is going, but it's certainly something you should consider before sitting down. Oh, and live rebuy tournaments... don't get me started!! If you've ever played in the daily dollar rebuy... think of it like that, but even more trigger happy pre flop :D. In my experience Freezeouts tend to play a lot more solid with respect to cash play and rebuys. As said a lot of people who play live have a lot more 'gamble', for this reason many cash games play a little like tournaments, whilst there will be more passive players, others will be happy to ship it in early compared to online, you really tend o get the polar opposites of what you find online at a casino game. Edit: Just incase you are not aware of it (sorry if you are, but I know a lot of online players that go and play live and have never heard of it) you will find a lot of 'straddling' going on in the cash games, where the player utg has the option to post a third blind before the cards are dealt, sometimes there is an agreement with the players at the table for everyone to do it to encourage action, I choose not to do it at tables with a decent number of players, if the table is shorthanded and I feel I have a significant skill edge, I will be happy to straddle and sacrifice position. By straddling you are the last person to act preflop and be free to act as you please - seperating it from a blind raise. In some cases you will get a restraddle, some places will only allow utg+1 to restraddle, I've played in a game full of degens where it's nearly gotten all the way round to the original straddler! :p [/QUOTE]
