I never played no-limit cash game before in casino. Sure I played in bars, private places, with friends and half-friends. I am above average live tournament player with decent winnings behind. I work mostly in CT and since Mohegan Sun casino opened new Poker room I could be seen there often. I am always on the time constrains and because of that I play mostly sit-n-go.
So I decided may be I should sit and play a cash game: fun and I can leave anytime . I was watching a 1-2 no limit few times just to see what is happening and to my surprise I did not see any poker. It looked like playing lottery, people will raise, go all in and call with crap. Then more chips people had then more outrages bets they were making.
So I think I will hold off on joining this mess until I do some diligence.
I read some articles, but there is nothing there, that even remotely describes what I observed. Therefore I am asking you RAILBIRDS, who can call themselves “a cash game specialists” for help.
1. Is what I saw normal? Or it’s just exclusion from a normal cash game?
2. May be there a pattern that I fail to see?
3. Any books, articles you can recommend
4. Any advice is extremely appreciated.
This is kind of late and I may not get lots of responses so forgive me for republishing this again.
