Low Limit Holdem

Hi,

Do you know what’s the proper way to handle $.05/$.1 limit games online at Pacific Poker? How will I win? I notice that players at such limit are so loose. By the way, I’m a tight one. With a good hand, I always raise and they call. What’s worst is that I always get bad beats on the river. Then I thought they seem to cheat. I need to hear from you straight.

Thank you very much!

All the best,
Sammy
Sammy,

They aren’t cheating. They are getting lucky. In the long run a tight aggressive style will work. There will be some variance against bad players and when you play solid, you will suffer bad beats. At a low limit game with bad players, play tight and take advantage of their bad play.

About Burn Card

Hi,

I believe you once mentioned that there’s a burn card after before the flop however I heard from someone that there’s actually a burn card after every betting round. Which one is standard? I’m clueless. By the way, I don’t know the purpose of a burn card, do you have any idea?

Thanks and nice site!

Burning a card before each round is done to help prevent cheating. A card is burned before the flop, turn, and river cards are dealt.
