I'm going to be driving through Niagara Falls in a couple of days and I'm debating stopping at Casino Niagara or Fallsview to play 1/2 NL. I don't need to kill time but I'm also not in a hurry so time isn't a factor. I'm really just interested if people think its worth it.
I've been playing 1/2NL in AC lately where the max bux-in is $300. I've been really liking it and I'm especially liking the challenge of deep-stacked poker. I'm not a huge fan of short-stack poker. Its just more boring due to not being able to play as many speculative hands. What are people's thoughts on the 100 max buy-in 1/2 games? |

Is it all preflop/flop play?
As in you get it all in preflop or the flop? |

50 bets deep isn't *that* short.. the game probably plays pretty wild.. avg chip stack is probably >100bb. if you want to play you should.. you should probably be getting all in on the flop a lot of the time

If Florida 1-2 100 max buy-in is any indication........take your meds before playing.
I'm at my wits end right now. |

[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm thinking I might pass. I'll only have 4-5 hours at best, and if I have to spend most of that just building to 250-300 I think I'll shoot myself. Plus, if most people are at 100ish it doesn't really matter if I've built my stack, its still not worth playing some of the fun hands. |

[/ QUOTE ] This is what I do: Get there early/mid afternoon, and work against the other $100 stacks to grow your stack. With reasonable luck, you'll be nicely stacked for the evening, and you can punish the new small stacks. You'll also have a few deep stack competitors to contend with. It can be interesting and fun. |

Please explain how to "punish" a $100 stack with a $300 stack. |

The big stack can totally run over the short stacks! Haven't you read the books and, like, watched poker on TV?
