Low Limit-Limit Holdem vs Blackjack, which is better?

[Bob T.]

The live game that I usually play in, is the 8-16 at Canterbury, it frequently is 5 to the flop for multiple bets, and how it works for me, is that I sit there, and get blinded off for a while, then I get some stupid beat, then I win a pot that it would take a trick pony to jump over, and maybe get a little heater to back it up, and suddenly I have a pile of chips that is a couple racks bigger than I started with.

The high rake in your situation, means that you don't want to get involved in a bunch of marginal situations, but you probably can wait until you get a good starting hand, and then you just hope you are lucky enough to pull a big pot.

The game you play in, heavily favors hands with reverse implied odds, because a lot of money goes in preflop, and the bet sizes don't increase, and there is probably less action on later streets, so you don't get paid as well for sucking out, as you do for being ahead all the way.

Be patient, and good luck.
