Micro Limit Games – Pre-flop Strategy (Page 1 of 2)
I will describe the pre-flop holdem strategy on full-hand tables (10max) here.
Micro limit games (~0.02/0.04) have some peculiarities in comparison to a poker game with higher limits. You will find the highest ratio of an average bank size to a big blind size here. This means that the highest percent of drawn combinations are paid-out. Contenders play very freely and lose their stacks easily. The best strategy for this game will be a reliable tight play if you are a new player. Of course, that strategy is not very profitable, but a new player would fare better playing this way. You shouldnt play weak hands which may cause difficulties when you play the post-flop.
Early positions (1-3)
Play tightly here. Raises are very possible from late positions. Having no position will lead to difficulties on the post-flop. So, tight play is the best at these positions.
AK, JJ+ – Raise 5??, if there has been a raise. If you have JJ-QQ, AK, you should call if the re-raise is not more than 15??. If the re-raise is higher, having JJ and AK fold, you should call with QQ up to 20??. Having KK, re-raise (three times that of a contenders raise), up to all-in. If you have AA, and nobody has called in your re-raise (having only one opponent), you may simply call to outwit your contender later and play a check-raise on the flop. If more than one opponent stays in a bank, you shouldnt play call with AA. The best play is to make a re-raise in three times bigger than the last. Its more difficult to play AA against two contenders if you have no position on the flop. A raise of 5?? is recommended in this situation. Though, if you see too many contenders calling your raise, you should increase the amount. If your contenders are very aggressive and often play raise on the pre-flop, you should call in an early position having AA. In the event that there is a raise after you, youll be able to make a re-raise.
AJ-AQ call. Its too tight but good for a new player. A raise with a hand like this may be too risky.
22-TT call and call a raise in hopes of making three of a kind
Fold all other hands.
Middle positions (4-6)
TT+, AQ+, AJ – raise, if no raises have been made. If there is a re-raise up to 15??, call with TT-QQ and AK. KK and AA are played as it is described in the early positions.
If there have been raises, play a re-raise. With the hands AK and QQ+, re-raise by tripling the original. If there has been a raise and then somebody has re-raised, play a re-raise only if you have KK+. If you have QQ, you should call. Fold JJ and lower cards.
KQs, ATs start with a raise of 5?? (to start means that all opponents before you have folded and you are the first getting into the game). If somebody has limped (to limp getting into a game without a raise), its best to call.
KQo, ATo – call if there have been no raises.
JTs+, QTs, KJs – call, if two or more players have gone into the game. Having such hands we need many contenders in a pot to make bank chance better. These hands are too weak to make them stronger drawing by a pair. But they can form very strong combinations – straights and flushes. To make the possibility of drawing those combinations profitable, you will need many potential losers to pay for it.
