I usually play 5/10 (.50 cent ante, $2 BI) at the Trop. But, they've only been spreading 1 table of 5/10 & 2 3/6 tables, both with lists. Up until this spring, you'd have 3-4 1/5 games, & 2-3 5/10 games going at the same time.

My only problem with the 5/10 game is that since there is only one game going now, it seems like the same people are playing. The times I've watched the 3/6, it attracts all kinds of people, not just the AARP crowd. The pots seem much bigger than the old 1/5 games. I'm thinking that I should give the 5/10 a break and see if 3/6 is worthwhile.

BTW, I asked a floorperson at the Trop why they got rid of 1/5. He said they weren't getting enough rake out of it. There were too many HU pots with the old timers checking down all the way. They were also told to spread only 2 3/6 games, and 1 5/10 at a time. He also said that they're seriously considering having a BBJ in the new poker room, whenever that happens.
