SN is magicmike. I am primarily an omaha player, and will play omaha/8 over NL holdem if I have a choice. However, in non-peak hours, I fill in some tables of NL holdem. I have had a 200k hand stretch of barely profitable 1/2 holdem, and I have the bankroll to try the 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10 tables, and see how I do there. I know my NL holdem game needs some work, but maybe the higher levels will keep me into it; I sometimes lose focus at the smaller levels.

make sure you didn't pick anything up. that area is a hotbed for malaria. you've just been in a risky situation for diseases so don't blow it off, go see a doctor.

I don't actually think 2/4 is easier, and I don't see where the argument is even coming from but if someone can give any reasons as to why it might be then I'll be listening [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

pattay and the_main play 1/2. They don't play 2/4. Thats why 2/4 is easier.
