microlimits in Southern CA?

[KAknight]

There are 2 cardrooms in my town. The lowest limit one spreads is $3/6. The lowest game the other spreads is $4/8

The skill level at both tables are identical. $4/8 is more profitable just because there is more money per bet. Buy in with 25 BBs whatever game you decide on and just play smart poker.

Thanks. I only have the bankroll for $1/$2, so I've been playing online. It will be nice to get out from behind the computer.

My guess is that you will hate limit games in a So-Cal B&M when the limits are this small. Keep in mind full collection plus jackpot is taken on any flop in LA and the game (from limited observation I admit) plays relatively smaller than 2/4, 3/6 and especially 4/8 limit because it tends to have more bottom feeding regular nitty types with little gamble.

Better deal on a small BR is to go to Hawaiian Gardens and play the $20 fixed buy no limit located in the bar area. This is a perfect spot for partying donks. Regular and jackpot drop is huge relative to the $1 big blind but this game isn't about a battle of the blinds, it's just pure action, especially on weekend nights.

Even though several buy-ins are taken off the tables every hour in drop figure an average of one buy-in is added to the table every hand since someone goes busted and re buys another Jackson. The stacks actually grow over time!

I've killed time there waiting for traffic to clear (normally I play the $300 or $500 buy games) and had fun and made a couple decent scores. At my age though I look like some sort of child molester in that crowd [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
