Making it in small stakes Home Games

[sarika]

I would love to hear from any of you what are the best go to habits in these kind of situations. How to go about certain type of beginners and stuff.

with a good hand, if the beginner is aggressive, it is very easy to catch him, you don't need great skills there

just play a bit more cautiously than the average player and a tidy profit should eventually come your way .

If there are players playing too many hands, you play tighter. If you are playing against players who can't fold and are calling stations, you never bluff them and make bigger bets when you have it.

Look at the stakes, the stack, the number of hands drawn, and the behavior in positions... In short, be careful and don't show full hand strength)

In home games where players generally don’t like to fold, make your value bets really big (they never fold right?). Bluff less against the calling stations.
Good luck, home games are a lot of fun if you can find the right one!

The crazier the play, the more important it is to play in position. Fish dont typically notice bet sizing so you can adjust your sizing for value.

If you think you have an edge on the other players, you typically want the format to be deeper and the blinds to rise slower. Also the bigger your edge the less you want to participate in coin flips.

They don't like to fold but if you 3bet them they will. Just dont 3bet small of you will have everyone call.
