Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5413691, member: 289533"] [b]Thanks for your candor[/b] Studying specific spots for deepstacked game will increase your winnings for those specific situation but whilst you're playing nl2-nl50 You want to learn how to play and implement and work out strategies and gameplans That will make you a better player overall. Also keep the rake+rakecap of limits below nl50 on stars in mind.[/QUOTE] Thanks a lot for your comments, I will take them under consideration in my gameplan and game strategy from now on. Could I bother you with a very serious question, in which I am considering starting a new thread to discuss about it, a very sensitive point you touched, when you brought the rake and the rakecap of limits below 50 NLHE in mind. Well my dear friend, the truth is that is just because I am unable to beat the field of 2 NLHE at Poker Stars, most because I really don't understand how to beat the rake, which Poker Stars claims to be 3.50% but in fact, the rake is 10% or 8% for 2 NL and 5 NL, (please, correct me if I am wrong). Why do I think it is hard to be the rake: A) Articles tend to explain that we should play Tight when the rake is high. But, here is the big problem: How do we play Tight at 6-Max Cash tables, either regular or Zoom Tables? If we get to Nitty playing at 6-Max tables we would be eaten by the Blinds sooner than later. On the other hand, we cannot play too Loose, we cannot defend too much the Big Blind, in general, what I am poorly trying to say here is that we cannot call very often and we cannot see a lot of flops. B) I read this article of Upswing Poker about Rake: [URL]https://upswingpoker.com/rake-poker-strategy-adjustments/[/URL] C) Summarizing, we are not able to play very Tight because the Blinds run fast at 6-Max tables, specially Zoom ones, and we are not able to play Loose. We have to play as chameleons and opportunists always seeking the best spots to explore. ( I guess) Sorry, my question still stands. What are your strategies and tactics to beat rakes of 8BB/100, 10BB/100, 15BB/100 and so on. Sometimes it seems that it is only possible for super qualified professionals. (Which I am not. I am just a recreational player with a lot of curiosity). Thanks again! Regards; Carlos 'Aballinamion' Barbosa [/QUOTE]
