30/60 draw high challenge
 

I like playing draw but rarely do people play the 30/60 on Stars. I'm posting to issue and hopefully schedule a challenge to anyone who would like to play.

He's become obsessed with triple draw. I'm not complaining.

The rake is deadly, it's usually $100+/hr because of the insane pace of 300hands/hr. But I can overcome it ! Fun2draw and xacacex won't play me anymore. Maybe when 100/200 is added that will help with attracting a few more players.

you better hope SLIME51 doesn't take up your challenge. He seeems to be doing ok with you at 30/60. How many regular HU opponents are there at that level? I like to play HU at lower limits but you can only get a game for like 3 minutes before the table fills.

There are only a few semi-regulars at 30/60 draw. It's mostly just scraggl0rs from mid stakes triple draw or high stakes HE. If they sit for more than an hour that's unusual. A few PL draw specialists will play me but constantly nag me about playing 10/20 PL draw instead.

I just played SLIME51 for maybe 90 minutes. He definitely got better cards and left up $1300 which is a significant win. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] As aggressive as the game is I don't really consider any win less than 20bb a significant one. Example :

SLIME51 raises button, I 3bet QQKxx, he calls. Both draw 3. I bet $60 w/ QQ762, he calls $60 w/ QQ764.

A few minutes after he left he came back and asked if I wanted to play a different game instead. Even though he is a good draw player I will gladly play him heads up draw anytime.

Sidenote : there are a few 5/10 and 10/20 regulars that only play draw, I think that is absolutely nuts and here's why:

-Lack of traffic/few if any regulars
-Tough rake
-Hit n runs
-Can be mechanical at times
-Full ring it's a total grind

Depends where you play. If you can only play stars then yeah, life will be a sick grind for you playing 5/10 and 10/20 draw only. But if you can play Ongame and get 40-50% rake back then playing only draw can be a great way to make a living. The 15/30 games at Ongame only come around once in awhile, but they are always juicy and the rake generated from draw is great. Even a break even player at Ongame could technically live off Draw if they rake enough.

What the hell are you talking about? Since when did a high rake become good?

And let's stop talking about a player who has +/-0 expectation AFTER rake as a break-even player. He's a winning player who's whole winning goes to paying rake...

It sounds like you are happy the higher the rake is, because you get higher rakeback then...?
