Well, Florida, how did the first day of NL/$5limit games treat you?

I was at a $1/$2 NL table this past Saturday at the Hard Rock.....

I finally got a chance to play last Friday. it was mayhem. I was very dissapointed that the S&G's were taking an hour to start whereas before it was just a few minutes. So many are playing the N/L cash game that the S&G's are not as popular.

I waited in line for 25 minutes to get my name on the 2/5 list. Waited another 45 minutes before I finally bribed the kid manning the seating with a $20. The only problem was that he could only seat me immediately if I sat in a 2/1 game. I took it just so I could play.

I was surprised at the amount of action for a 2/1. Many pots exceeding $100. The players are even worse than in the S&G's. I happen to get up about $80 in about 10 minutes. I splashed around for awhile picking up some small pots while sizing up the table.
I had one those nights where I set up a few big traps and got paid off very well. I had two full houses that paid me well over $400 combined. And I got the table drunk to unload all his chips to me with a set of nines.

In all I walked out with $640 on my first nite playing 1/2.
At one point I was up a few hundred when they called my name for the 2/5. Of course I would have been an idiot to leave the table at this point as you have to start back at a $100 buyin.

It was fun to play but I prefer higher stakes and with the $100 buyin cap I doubt I will be leaving my private games anytime soon.
