He actually provided several answers. One of his answers was to a question you hadn't realize you had asked.

Why so hostile?

BB in a limit game means "big bet", in this case $6. I don't really think there is a abbreviations for "big blind" in this context, because win rates are almost always expressed in fractions of "big bets", not "big blinds".

Whether this game is beatable or not depends entirely on the skill of your competition. If the competition is horrible, then it is probably beatable for something like 1 BB/hour, assuming you never win the jackpot.

playing very well against weak competition. 3-6 limit holdem
10% rake $5 max
1 dollar jackpot every pot above 20 dollars
tipping 1 dollar on every decent win

Poor conditions, but you still should average $6 - $9 an hour, provided your opponents are weak. If you have no choice about the rake you face, try playing where there are auto shufflers or at least better quality dealers.

Ok, I used to play in a similar structure only without the BBJ drop. 3/6 LHE, 10 handed, 10% up to $5 rake. I was averaging around $14 / hour, over a sample of eight months playing between 20-25 hours a week. A good idea for you would be to ask for a "chop" when you tip and only tip 50cents / pot that win, avoid tipping on every pot that you win (no need to tip on blind steals or pots that only go 1 bet on the flop), and also if you can't get a "chop" on your tips, maybe just tip a dollar every 2-3 pots you win, instead of every pot.

The game still is beatable even with that structure, but try and move up to a 6/12 or a 5/10 game (whatever, is next at your cardroom) as soon as you can to maximize your profits, as the competition isn't really any better in my experience.

5max on hands for pots over 40... plus 1 jackpot... 5+1=6 6/3=2 yep definately two big blinds, and thats not to mention tipping

The donkeys pay the rake. Loose players play more hands so they pay more of the rake.

The answer is:





It depends. There's a lot of money coming out of that game. If the players are not completely clueless, it's probably not beatable. OTOH, in a 3/6 B&M game, you may well be the only player who has a clue. If it is a typical 7 to the flop, 4 to the river, loose passive fish pond, you can probably make a little money from it. But don't quit your day job.

Im a student in new orleans and i play at harahs. Just lookin to make a little cash on nights that i don't go out with my friends. 0-2 players "have a clue". THe only games offered are 3-6 and 15-30 sometimes (I cant handle a downswing tho) THey also have a split omaha-holdem 4-8 game... but i do not really know how to play omaha. I know all the rules but LITERALLY the only strategy I know is to play your suited aces. (pathetic i know) Anyway if i'm still playing excellent holdem and i just play INCREDIBALLY TIGHT omaha would this be more profitable.
