3/6 LIMIT HOLDEM
Why are players still playing 3/6 Holdem, in public poker rooms? Over the years, the rake has increased and the value of a dollar has diminished. Recreation?

Re: 3/6 LIMIT HOLDEM
The rake on 3/6 Holdem used to be $1.00 or less. Now, it is as high as $6.00 or $7.00, out of each pot, if you include tokes and bad beat contributions. That is a crystal clear, "all the players will eventually bust out" scenario.

So long as these games are populated by the absolute worst players (and they are), there is certainly money to be made. In a rake-free world, a good player in one of these games can make several big bets per hour. I won't deny that a lot of money gets taken out of these games, but the immense volume of money flowing in more than makes up for that. The average EV for all players in all raked games is negative. On the whole, the average player in a 3-6 loses a lot more bets per hour than a 15-30 player because of the higher proportional rake. But the horrendous play can easily make up that loss for a good player. |

Re: 3/6 LIMIT HOLDEM
I mostly play live 3-6 for recreation. The players are horrible. Last Friday I played for 4 hours. For most of the time there were two players at the table that were playing every single hand. They almost always called any flop bets, and usually would call the turn too. They paid off on the river most of the time. They were the two biggest stacks at the table most of the time. One of them, a young kid that kept saying “I can play anything.” He went on a losing streak and was forced all in, but won the hand. He finally left about an hour and a half later with more than $700. The other guy playing every hand had gotten down to around $50, but was back up to $300-$400 when I left. These two made the game great, because they would pay you off much of the time.
Naturally, I got some bad beats, and sometimes got beat by real hands. I still left up about +$80. I’m up for the year too. In fact I’m up way too much for the number of hours I’ve played. I assume it just a small sample and I’m running good. I don’t think you can make much of a living playing 3/6, but it’s good for the recreational player who doesn’t have the bank roll for higher limits. |

Re: 3/6 LIMIT HOLDEM
Speaking of 2/4 at Foxwoods:
I was watching a friend of mine play that game and the flop came AAA twice in a row, and the same player had the case A both times. Table was in amazement as was I, not so much at the cards, but the fact the guy never tipped the dealer!!! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] True story. |

Re: 3/6 LIMIT HOLDEM
Why do I play low-limit hold'em? Recent hand:
I have JJ in the small blind. Six callers around, I raise, everyone calls. Flop is J23 rainbow, I bet, everyone except one calls. Turn is the case Jack. I bet and just the BB calls. River is a Queen. I bet and BB calls. My hand was good. +71 big bets for the night. Profit: that's why. |
