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

Horrible ass piece on gambling on ESPN right now.

SN is magicmike. I am primarily an omaha player, and will play omaha/8 over NL holdem if I have a choice. However, in non-peak hours, I fill in some tables of NL holdem. I have had a 200k hand stretch of barely profitable 1/2 holdem, and I have the bankroll to try the 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10 tables, and see how I do there. I know my NL holdem game needs some work, but maybe the higher levels will keep me into it; I sometimes lose focus at the smaller levels.

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]

[/ QUOTE ]

easier, imo

[/ QUOTE ]

its close to twice as hard as 1/2, if not harder

table selection, table selection, table selection

[GrandMelon]

If you play &gt; 10 tables you pretty much cant table select.

make sure you didn't pick anything up. that area is a hotbed for malaria. you've just been in a risky situation for diseases so don't blow it off, go see a doctor.

[TheProdigy]

I don't actually think 2/4 is easier, and I don't see where the argument is even coming from but if someone can give any reasons as to why it might be then I'll be listening [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Like the 5th hand of the night. Villain is an unknown. His play confused me. Should I have laid this down vs. an unknown?
