I cant friggen beat them and I'm usually a profitable player, but this game just moves too fast, and theres too many donkeys blowing away your good hands with shit.

    I haven't played any of the $1.75's but the $3.40's and the $6.50's are super soft and very easily beaten if you know good push/fold and are good with choosing spots to steal the blinds/antes...

    Play ABC poker and you'll kill it. Don't try to bluff, and bet your big hands like you have a big hand. The other people will call you down with A10 and KJ all day long, how is that NOT profitable?!

    Just what I was going to say. They are beatable, but you're getting raped on the rake.

    I came in here expecting this question and laughed at the actual complaint. At any rate gl achieving an ROI great enough to overcome that joke of a rake.

    These are not a crapshoot. However, the 16.67% rape is a joke. Avoid these.

    Anyway, despite the rake, they are eminently beatable. Probably for 25%+ ROI even with that sick rake.

    I'm not sure why you think that people playing shit is what's beating you. Review your games, and post a few hands. You'll benefit for sure.

    Impossible to beat. Give up now.

    Seriously though it is a 1.75 tournament, yes it is beatable but probably don't play them because the rake is such a joke.
