Was hoping i could get your thoughts on this particular cash game i’m playing at the mo in Iran.
I’ll give a bit of back ground about the game and then i will get in to specifics and then i want your thoughts on what you think would be the most profitable strategy to employ in this game.
I apologies for the long post but i think it’s important to have the details.
Background:
The poker boom has only hit Iran in the last year and NL and Omaha are both big games at the moment and some big games (up to 10/20 euro which is a lot of money in Iranian money) are being played.
The thing is no one knows how to play. They know the rules and that’s it.
They don’t even know that there is shit to know. They think is a game of pure chance.
How the game plays:
The game is a 9 handed game. Usually every one sits down with 30BBs but they quickly reload if they lose and so the game gets very deep in to time.
Almost every one there plays the same strategy outlined below:
Their hand ranges:
They play any two suited, any pocket pair, any Ace, any broadway, K5+from any position.
They raise preflop with any broadway,A5+,any pocket pair and they would happily get their stacks in with the same range.
They limp with the rest of their range.
If they limp, they call at least one pre-flop raise with almost 100% of their limping range.
They play draws passively and made hands aggressively. (A made hand is usually second pair+).
Not much bluffing goes on at all and if it does it’s usually quite transparent and it’s easily detectable.
Their betting and raising has a wired pattern.
An open raise can be anything from 10BB to 15 and some times 20BB .as i said their open raise range is any pair, any Ace, any broadway .they will also 3 bet with any pair,A9+,any broadways and get it in with that same range.
Post flop the betting really relies on the strength of their hand but they bet/raise TP+ and flat alot with anything hoping to catch later.
The game generally plays very passive. Usually someone makes and open raise and 5 6 players call.
Ppl rarely give up on the flop and they chase everything so the flop usually plays out bet,call.call,call as well.
So my question as i said is,
What is the most profitable strategy to play against these?
In particular i’m interested to know
What my pre-flop range should be and how i should play them?
Ie what should my flat calling range be preflop (keep in mind every preflop raise is at least 10BB).
What about my 3betting range?
Should i isolate more with AJ,AQ,AK or should i limp reraise or take flops with them as if i hit i usually have them dominated ?
What range should i be happy to get it all in pre?(currently without stoving i shove 99+,AT+,KQ)
Post flop is really easy i feel once i get a good pre-flop strategy.
Your thoughts are really appreciated folks.
