Artichoke Joe's @ San Bruno 15/30 limit game: thoughts?

[jfk]

The 6/12 is often a tougher game than the 15/30.

As others have said, it isn't hard to pick out who is good.

The only adjustment you need to make is in the small blind. You'll post two chips instead of one. That prices you into playing any two (just about) if there's no raise preflop, and allows you to play a wider range of suited and connected cards if there is a raise. (Ciaffone and Brier have a pretty good overview of 2/3 blind structures in "Middle Limit Holdem".)

If its your first time in this game, you'll need to post a blind to be dealt in when you first sit. some prefer to wait for the BB, while some wait to post behind the button. It probably makes no difference.

They've been running two or three games recently, and they're chained must move games. If you've not played that format it means that players are moved towards the main game in the order in which they sat down. You won't be able to change tables as you would in the other stake games.

Lastly, you can call in to put your name on the 15/30 list.

If you've been winning at lower stakes you can expect to do well in the 15/30.
