Hello everyone !

We have about 2-3 months that we play live poker 0.50 - 1.00 and 1.00 - 2.00 some times (the starting BI is 50bb or 100bb) and i am having some questions!

I have noticed that the game is a lot diferent from online poker... players are much more looser and they dont respect the preflop raises 3bets that much...
Also very often i see huge open raises like 5-7 bb and stuff like this that looks to much out of line from what i know from online poker!
Its almost imposimple to play HU if you open raise from early possition most of the times you have like 4-5 calls!

So my questions are simple!how can i adjust my play to live poker ?
I have try many things but i am not sure what to do...
Should i wide my range a lot too ?
Should i play tight and make big raises ?
Should i call medium strength hands and play it preflop?
Should i 3bet more light so i dont play with 4 players every hand ?
Should i raise - reraise more after the flop ?

etc etc etc

Good thing is that i am winning at the moment but i dont feel very confident at how is the best way to adjust

you can 3bet way lighter in some spots, but if the table is full of fish, who just coldcall 3bets and then you have 4-5way pots, then tighten up, in general all your betsizing should be bigger, both preflop and postflop.

in huge multiway pots when you flop good, you can overbet easily, you will still get enough action.

that's what got to my head in a few mins

Play tight, vbet super thin. Fold to any signs of aggression.

Dont bluff.

Profit!

i dont think this will work very well in 4-5way pots

Just sit tight, don't get tempted to join the multiway pots just because its cheap and your bored of waiting due to Live being slower than Online ;)

I'm in the same situation as you though, I can Beat online, but Live is a whole new mission !
