Pokerstars equivalent to B&M 1/2, 2/4
 

I was wondering if anybody believes that there are any levels on pokerstars that have similiar play as limit 1/2 or 2/4 at a b&m. I'm planning on going to either turning stone, foxwoods or ac to pop my "b&m cherry". Do you think that playing .25/.50 and .50/1 on stars will be a good prep?

5/10 probably would play similar skill wise.

Online play is much harder than live.

A PS 5/10 game would play like a live 50/100 game.

You can prob play .25/.5 to get a feel.

You might want to play at the shorthanded tables to get practice too. Late-night casino players are awful when the table looses a few players.

Well, if you go to Foxwoods during the day/afternoon when most of the regulars are there, 3/6 or 5/10 are much more like a live 2/4 Foxwoods

Then again, last time I was at Foxwoods was '02 before Moneymaker, so my opinion is probably biased/not correct.

He's talking about a 1/2 or 2/4 game.

This is the lowest game offered I assume.

Live players are no good at these limits.

There's no such thing as 1/2 limit in B&M. Lowest game is 2/4.

And for the most part, agree with the above. From my experience, anything under 5/10 limit is equivalent to microstakes online (smallest game available is going to be bad anywhere).

I play PokerStars 0.25/0.50 and Foxwoods 2/4. They are comparable (0.25/0.50 is still a little tougher) IF you go to Foxwoods at the right time.
Foxwoods Fri night to Sun night plays a lot laggier than during the week with all the old TP nits.

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific Foxwoods questions.

Great thanks for the advice guys!

Live 2/4 plays similar to pokerstars 10/20
