    Default 3/6 limit strategy

    i was just wondering what a good strategy for 3/6 LHE is. i was playing last night in a B&M and it seems that there is no such thing as folding for these people. i got AA and KK cracked back to back. i was just wondering what is a good strategy to play with at this level that can be profitable.

    Its like playing .10/.20 online. If you can win there you can win $3/6 BnM

    If you haven't read Small Stakes Hold'em or added it to your library - DO IT! A lot of players figure once you get over the $1 BB the players suddenly get better - WRONG! Nemos are like fish in the ocean - their everywhere and play just as badly at $3/$6 as they do a .25/.50 SSH is an excellent strategy for winning against these very loose players. One word of caution thou, if you run up against a good player don't forget to tighten up and play more like 'Holdem for Advanced Players'.

    3/6 live is like penny games online or quarter games at the kitchen table. In fact it may be looser than .05/.10 online.

    See the flop with your good hands and be a bit more passive if you start getting re-raised. continuation bets, bluffs, and semi-bluffs rarely work. Play a solid straightforward game and you'll be fine

    What is the average pot size then for a $3/$6 live hold 'em game in a casino in the States? If the games are that bad surely you can earn more than 1 big bet per hour as is always quoted?

    $100-150 pots are not uncommon. An average pot would be in the $50-60 range I'm guessing. I have only played 3/6 a few times in vegas, Foxwoods has 2/4 and 4/8. I know 4/8 at foxwoods has pots around $75 and $150-200 is quite possible.

    I should say that I haven't consistently played these games since before the WPT took off and I'm going on just a few sessions where I played these stakes while waiting for another game.

    I also know a few full time 4/8 players at foxwoods, they don't win a ton but I bet they win 20K+ a year playing it. Most of the dealers also think the 4/8 game is more profitable than 5/10 or 10/20.

    4/8 is a 2 and 4 chip game, any live player knows these are always the loosest games.
