Question for Bart:

Did you ever play 6-max Limit online or live?


If they even have 6-max live. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Did you like it more than FullRing?

A good player's edge is huge in those games imho.

Obviously not Bart, but I think part of the reason why you shouldn't look to see 6-man tables live -- at least with any semblance of regularity -- is that the house needs to make X dollars per table per hour in order to make the obscene profit that they are accustomed to making.

Let's say it's $100/hour. Now, with 10 people, each is giving $10/hour (yes, I know it doesn't actually work out to that with a rake-set-up, but follow along).

However, with 6-people ... now each is paying in almost $17 -- or 70% more.

With the nits that frequent the live rooms waiting to post until it's their big blind, even if they could post in the cut-off, and how they are tightwads with every cent, do you think these guys will make a 6-man table possible where each is, in essence, paying a lot more than the "a lot" that they already begrudge the house?

I'd love it ... but I don't see it happening.

I see, good point.

And you should really give 6-max a shot Bart.

One warning: 6-max Variance is krazy. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Tuch,

Here's a propping question, sorry if you've ever covered it.

Let's say Guy X is a prop. He is supposed to play tomorrow for 8 hours. He goes with X thousands of bucks.

1. Variance strikes. He's killed. He now has no money on him -- what do they do?

2. He just doesn't feel like playing anymore -- what do they do?

[boondoggle]

You can make a lot more money online than live in 95% of the cases.

cheers
