Looking for full-ring LHE 10/20

brianmarc · #1 10-20-2006, 04:14 PM

Since closing of Party to the good guys, I'm finding it near impossible to find my bread-and-butter game: sustainable full-ring LHE 10/20. Have signed with both Absolute and Stars, but not much. Any suggestions?

Stars has full 10/20 tables, but sporadically. But I see three $15/$30 10-handed going right now. Not sure if that helps.

Tx for responding, mb. The 15/30 is not my game; that 2/3 small blind is totally new to me and means a fairly radial change in my play that I don't want to make. 20/40 would be preferbale, but I wanted to get a feel for this site b4 moving up a level. Also, your description "sporadically" is a nice understatement!

I have seen $10/$20 full table going many times, so not sure why it's understatement. That's precisely what it is. I do agree that $15/$30 is quite a different animal. Plenty of $5/$10 games though.

Unfortunately finding this game has become a lot more difficult. You basically have to camp lobbies and hope to find one running. Full Tilt often has one, UB often has one, Tribeca sometimes has one. You're unlikely to find more than one running at any single site.

Consider dropping down and learning to play shorthanded.

Bin there, done that. I have made a nice living SH 5/10 and 10/20, but online find them less interesting than the full-ring games. So I'll likely move up to 20/40 instead.

Yeh-tried that. OK on weekends and late, but nuthin during the day, my usual playing time. But tx anyhow,

Not that im an expert by any stretch, but Im at that 5-10 and occasionally a 10-20 ifI find a good one, but you may want to try some NL, the smaller stakes can hide the bigger pots, if some of the games are aggressive, you willl see similar pot sizes to your 10-20 in a 2-4 or so game. Oh, and I dont remember seeing any recent 10-20 9 handed on FT in recent memory that was going.

I feel your pain. UB used to have some good full ring 10/20 going... until they shutdown whoever was running the bots and a couple key contributors left.
Since Black Friday, I've been playing the full-ring 5/10 at Stars and then donating the winnings to the 15/30 guys. I'm sort of a virtual chiprunner.
I fear the golden days of multitabling mid-stakes LHE may be over as the excitement of 6-max has grown. Unfortunately I suck at blind defense and find myself spewing chips at every opportunity in 6-max.
I'm just glad I didn't quit my day-job.
