question about range balance in live game?
Recently, I start to grind more time at local casino. I basically play 2/3 10 players table which buy in from 100 to 300. These days I found a problem which it is hard to balance the range on post flop. So hope you guys helping to analysis and sharing your ideals of best the strategy base on this table structure. 1), Most time there are 2 or 3 short stakes only buy in 100 and probably waiting for good hand and shove on PRF. 2). Most players(6 or 7 players) even they put 300 but never refill the stake util chip down to 100. 3). most players PRF opening 5x - 8x BB and almost at least 3 players in the pot every time.
so with this structure I found it is very hard to balance my range on post flop because my weak range is too easy to be committed either on flop or turn. so I just wanna ask your guys do i really need to balance my range under this structure, it seems your weak range is very costly. ABC poker seems more useful.
what your guys think and what is your strategy if you were there? and is it worth to grind more time there?
thank you very much, it will help me a lot with your answers.
Appreciate!

There is really no need to balance your ranges in this sort of format. You pretty much hit the nail on the head and that ABC poker is the way to go for now. Once you get more experience with live poker and move up in stakes, you will find more spots were advanced poker is more relevant.
For now, just focus on exploiting your opponents to the max.
thanks man. so do you think it's worth to play there? cos the luck is higher than standard game.
Cons of livepoker: way less hands compared to online poker and therefore downswings can last long.
Pros of livepoker: superprofitable and fun. A lot of bad players.
Absolutely. Live poker is super profitable and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. You just have to make adjustments based on the play of the population of live poker.
This is assuming that the rake is not something crazy.

Absolutely no reason to worry about balancing until you hit 5/10 plus and even then it's rarely as important as it should be in my experience. Takes infinite time to get in volume with players, there's no data crunching programs to be used to assess the ins and outs of someones play or reference other than good old memory retention, and most players are completely unaware of the concept even so.
Also of the opinion that live poker is a blast and always profitable if you are reasonably good at the game you're playing. Highly recommend playing there if you enjoy it. GL!
EDIT: Do worry about list... Exploit, Exploit, EXPLOIT!
