Playing live full ring 1-1 euro at casino

I am thinking of going and playing at my local casino in near future and would like some tips. The only Cash game that runs there is 9-seated. Gonna play 1-1(euro). I usually play 5-6 sixhanded live games with my friends and 6-ring and HU on the internet so I have not played full ring for a loooong time. Any concrete tips on starting hands etc or should I just be rly tight from early pos and play it like normal 6 handed table when only 6 players remains?

Will buy in for around 50 big blinds in case that helps out.

play the hell of a nit (esp. regarding to HU and 6m) and definetly ask about rake before you play...Usually playin NL100 in a casino is pretty expensive but opponents are juicy....I guess playin a tough line up isnt worth it...

starting hands depends about the setup a lot but there is some good charts to find on a lot of forums for a start. GL

that depends on how juicy the game is:

1. if the game is not very aggressive, u could develop some limp range. in my opinion, all nut-oriented hand is playable in most situation (pocket pair, Axs Kxs, suited broadway and connector)

2. do not valuebet on the river too thin against unknown opponent

3. do not herocall a lot cuz at these low stakes people do not bluff enough and valuebet enough.

4. If u think u r the best on that live table, buy as much as u can

1. Enjoy yourself and have fun. live poker can be incredibly frustrating. you will have your 'game plan' and strategy only to be card dead for 3 hours or practically have to fold all your sets when it goes runner runner straight/flush. you will be bad beat, bad bad beat again - they will laugh at you while they take your chips. set aside what expectations you have and rather be a sponge, take in all the info the players are giving off, try understand the game as they see it and pounce on their weaknesses. 

2. throw the theoretical poker out the window your opponents are simply not following anything standard by any means, that means:

their ranges are undefined. did you just 4bet them and they called 25% of their stack, did it come 772 and they can never have a 7x in their range? you forget his birth date... 1972 to be exact and he has NEVER folded 72 suited preflop

their frequencies are skewed some players ARE NOT BLUFFING AT ALL. i've confidently folded Kings preflop to a 4bet, you can fold 2nd nut flushes/full houses... it all depends on what player you playing against

3. starting hand requirements

first in: anything that can make the nuts, or flop the nuts {all pairs, all broadway, Axx (An Ace of 'x' suit with another card of the same suit), suited connectors, some SCs 1- and 2 gappers Q9s J8s T7s ..etc}

when someone has raised: the first question to ask is do i have info on the player that will allow me to play well against him? will he stack off too light? does he bet once and give up? how doe she play his draws? will he fold postflop if i make a large raise? if i know some things about how he plays and its reasonable that i can play in position versus him and only one or two other players then by all means call with most hands, yes that means anything you feel like playing 

3betting/4betting: i wouldn't get carried away with this on a 9handed table. you need some very active villains to begin some preflop dynamics. i might not stack off preflop without KK+, maybe AKs due to blocker affect, you likely gonna see AA/KK players routinely flat QQ AKo etc so rather play postflop

don't be worried about getting 3bet

4. FOLD "does he really have it?" you going to be asking yourself at some point. If your real focus is that you 'like' your hand then rather fold. if you find yourself getting stubborn and can't fold faced with some big bets or a flop raise, rather take a break, you not playing well at this point. with 4/5+ players to hte flop turn flushing cards means players often have made their draw, so you need to be prepared to fold some made hands when the board does change. which leads me to the next..

5. PATIENCE. continue gathering reads on your opponents when out of the hand

6 versus ERRATIC and UNORTHODOX Villains CALL CALL I CALL CALL. yes they will have you beat but they came to play poker and so will be making many bluffs and spazz plays that will leave you baffled. just make sure you show them hand after hand OR make some semi-bluffs against them but make sure you put the last raise in

7 don't date the dealer no matter how cute she is you need a social life outside the poker scene
