How do you do it..

O8, I crushed. Just gotta play extremely tight, EXTREMELY tight, as in playing top 20 hands (I have my own version of top hands) only. See 15-25% of flops only. Do not waste away bets to see flops.

It can be done, but it depends on how you refer to the word "crush". Do you mean winning lots of dough, or do you simply mean to win a certain amount of BB/hour?

I don't play these tables, but Kurn is exactly right. Given what you described, I think your question should have been, "Is it even possible to NOT crush these tables?"

In his defense, there is a bigger component of variance at no-fold'em tables, but in the long run, 6 to the flop for 2 bets and 3 to the river chasing backdoors is a goldmine.

I used to go to these tables when i was running cold at higher levels - they are definitely going to be profitable if you keep your head. I don't know what your bankroll is like - but you can not be phased by the fact that you could be down $50 in 30 minutes. I think for this game - you actually need a bit more than the normal 300x bankroll, especially if you are a player that tends to get frustrated.

Figure if you have a bankroll of $300 and you take that $50 downswing in the first half hour - it might get to you. If your bankroll is $1,000 - that $50 is not going to affect you nearly as much - especially after you have some experience at this level and have proven to yourself its beatable. You can actually laugh at the suckouts - cause you know that is what is going to pay you after yoiu grind that game out for 3-4 hours.
