Does anyone know what the rake and buy in is for this 2/3 NL game?

It's the same - $5 time charge, plus 10% up to $6. Max buy-in is $200.

Also, what's the next limit after 2/3 NL . . . 2/5? What's the rake and buy in like on those games?

[/ QUOTE ]
The next buy-in up is 2/5. May buy-in is $500. I don't remember the rake off the top of my head, but it is again either the same ($5 plus 10% up to $6) or it is $10/hr plus the pot charge.

Also, anyone know the rake for the 5/10 fixed limit game? I was planning on a few month long poker vacation to Melbourne, but I didn't realize how absurd the 1/2 NL structure was.

The 5/10 limit game is also raked very high, but without the time charge.

Maybe I'll have to find another exotic location to travel to with a nice cardroom.

I'd suggest going somewhere like Fiji, or Tahiti, (depending on where you're coming from, maybe somewhere else) and get an internet connection.

Live poker for an extended period of time is, I think, like stabbing yourself in the eye with a screwdriver repeatedly.
