Low Limit Strategy
This is an easy and probably the best strategy to play low limit for beginners and advanced players. It's so easy, that everyone who follows this simple strategy will win. I made $200 out of $10 on the 0.01/0.02 no limit tables when I started to play poker. And I didn't even get rakeback! (Then I went up in limits).
What are the keys?
- Play with better hands than your oppenents. --> that means: Be more patient than your oppenents. (The blinds do not hurt you much in this limit).
- Maximize the win of every good hand.
- Don't make moneywasting plays like bluffing (People in this limit play for fun, and don't want to fold, since folding is boring) or wasting your money on hands that need to improve on turn or river to be good (The chance of hitting them against you and will cost you money in the long run).
Why does it work?
- People play for fun in this limit and want to play many hands. You take advantage of this by playing better hands, what means playing less hands and waiting for the good ones. The blinds don't hurt much in this limit)
- People don't watch their oppenents. They only look on their own cards. That means, they don't notice that you're only playing good hands.
The strategy:
Always play at 10 player tables when the table has at least 8 players. (When it's getting less, change the table). Sit at the table with the maximum possible money amount.
Post - Flop
--> If your pair is higher than all cards on the table, raise the amount of the pot size.
--> If you hit the highest card on the table with one of your cards (A / K), raise the amount of the pot size.
--> If your hand is better than this, raise the amount of the pot size.
--> If your hand is worse than the aboth mentioned hand combinations, fold the hand or first check if possible and fold when someone raises.
Turn
If you raised the flop, raise on turn again one time the amount of the pot.
Do not raise the turn again if you have more than one oppenent and a dangerous card came up (like an Ace when you have two Kings).
If you improve your hand on turn, always raise.
River
If you raised on turn, raise the river again if you are to act before your oppenent.
If you are last to act, check if your oppenent checked to you.
If your oppenent raised before you, you should have a good hand to call, if you haven't, then fold
If you have a very strong hand on the river like "three of a kind" or better, always raise on river.
------------------------
With this strategy you can play several low no limit tables at the same time, since you're just playing a few hands at one table. Even in these low limits it's worth to have rakeback.
------------------------
Strategy add on:
A well working and good play for this limits is also to only pay the Big Blind pre-flop when nobody has raised before, with small pairs like: TT 99 88 77 66 55 44 33 22
--> If someone raises behind you, fold the hand.
--> Flop: If you make "three of a kind" on the flop, raise on Flop turn on river the amount of the pot on each.
--> If you hit nothing on the Flop, fold your hand.

| Abbreviations: A = Ace K = King Q = Queen J = Jack T = Ten | Pre-flop: --> Fold every hand directly except these hand combinations: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK --> - When you have one of these, and nobody raised before, raise 5 times the amount of the Big Blind - When you have one of these, and someone raised before, raise 3 times the amount of his raise. --> If your oppenent should raise again, do so too!
