Is it just me, or does 2/4 NL seem easier to beat than 1/2?

That is, of course, assuming I'm not at a table with Renton or GrandMelon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

easier, imo

[TheProdigy]

Tables are easier to play if Renton or GM sit, they aren't no good.

:P

[m bozeman]

Yeah, i think so, too. Only have a small 20k hand sample so far, compared to 200k at 1/2, but I am having a better "feel" for 2/4. Probably gonna stick with it, and add in the occasional 3/6 and 5/10 tables, also.

[m bozeman]

I have already noticed a few solid players besides them that I have noted. That's the only downfall; I have notes on probably close to 100 1/2 NL players, and only a few 2/4. Have to start over with that [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
