Default Re: Confusion About Party Conventional Wisdom.

How often does the average losing poker player (especially online) go to vegas/local casino and play craps/roullette.

Applying economic theory at its basic level doesnt work for the reason that the average fish doesnt consider it more than entertainment.

The reason why NL is more likely to wipe out limit is for the reason that for weaker players it is considered a much more enjoyable game.

Ive taught a lot of people the game and ive played a lot of home games. Limit is bottom of the list of game choices in dealers choice and the newbies just dont understand how it can be good to only bet small increments when you have 'good' hands.

To one extent or another i would imagine this translates well to online poker and its mainly the long term fish who are playing limit because its the traditional game of choice.

All my opinion.
