Default Re: FL b&m 2/2 \"action poker\" ?

Your bankroll should probably be something like whatever you'd need to play a normal $1-$2 limit (but see a flop in a raised pot in every hand!). I would sit w/ 100ish and wait to see what all sorts of hilarious [censored] happens.

I'd like to see someone else's opinion on this but I believe it is less profitable (probably unbeatable even) because it highly rewards (actually even requires) people to see every flop...

The pre-flop is loaded w/ like $20 to start and the maxiumum bet never exceeds $2 obviously everyone is chasing every draw (and every draw to a draw(s); I have 2-3 -5 offsuit now, comeon runner-runner A-4!!1 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])... all the way to the river, more or less correctly.

So you are seeing poker turned into a lottery... I went to seminole hard rock and played some tourneys and (lol) cash games... I think the 1-2 structure w/ a large rake makes the games pretty hard to beat for a significant expected winrate...

I'd assume the rake makes "lotto" ante poker unbeatable because you'll see (i'm presuming) 4-8 seeing the river each hand.

Basically whoever is destined to win every hand and will go all the way everytime so everyone is pretty much equal and skill is futile. I don't know how you could badly missplay getting 11-1 or more on every flop decision.

I'm sure these games are really interesting though and it'd be hilarious to get like 37-1 on your river over-over-over-call w/ some sorta random hand you flopped 2-pair with.

In summary this game sounds like pure gambling as in "flipping" in an NL game (lets all put in $30 before we're dealt our hole cards and see who wins at the showdown without further betting!). But once you add in the element of the casino raking ($5? or $4?) the pot it makes every player a longterm loser regardless of skill.
