3/6 limit is a card catching contest. You have to catch cards & hope your hand outruns the other 9 idiots chasing you all the way to the river. There's no strategy or hand reading. It's no foldem holdem.

dont you think this can be a bad thing. if you cant get anyone off a hand then it is a card catching contest. welcome to playing 9/4 ubernit style. i feel this way alot when im playing 1-2.

No, it's a really really good thing. If all the 30/60 players played this way I'd be rich just going to Vegas once a month. It's a "card catching contest" in the sense that you have to show down good hands, but that is not at all the same thing as saying there's no skill or strategy. A good player who understands poker theory will crush that game, and a bad player will lose all his chipses. That is not what most people think of as a card catching game where luck rules and you can't beat the rake long term.

Geez, some of you guys crack me up.
