Nope, that's why I asked if maybe it was similar to the Bike 8/16. Until this thread every post I have ever seen mentioned it made it sound like the best game in town though, so I planned to try it the next time I was in town.

It's not that its a horrible game. But the conditions you describe...5 to 7 to every flop....do not exist so often anymore. It used to be that every table took 6-8 to the flop for 2-4 bets and then the same type of action the rest of the way. The regulars play a bit tighter now. There are still some wild games, but its less common now. So the increased drop has a pretty drastic impact. I think a $12-16 win rate for a good player is about on par.

In particular, OP had asked about daytime games and talked about going after the senior citizens. I think a passive daytime game where most pots are 3 way to the flop(limper plus blinds) is not going to be a very profitable game considering the house drop.

if a player plays too many hands over time he will lose.

playing more hands then ssh recommonds will cost you money and is incorrect advice.

Not at games that are weak tight.

[amulet]

yes, over time at all limit hold em games.

IIRC, those sklansky books advise a VPIP of around 22-25%. Its not that tight.

when players start to play too many hands they get into trouble. good players sometimes think they can get away with extra hands, pushing a slight edge, in fact they get themselves into a situation that often becomes a leak.

if you think i am incorrect, read sklansky, and feeney.

i have seen it happen often. don't start to play too many hands.

I actually do not think its happening that much but ill say once every 3 sessions it makes a big difference. Also how do u calculate the obvious they want to chop so lets lift our hands up so i raise the button with any two and take the pot 4/5 of the time when they show me this, about once an hour.

Wow you dead wrong every pot has 4+ people with the senior citizen its rare to have less. Your dead wrong about 3 to the flop it happens 3x an hr. Senior citizens play worse then the lago maniac who wont stop betting at u and is hard to put a range on.

Well good luck. Its going to be the weekend so the games will definitely be good... plus add to the fact that its memorial day weekend. I on the other hand may not play friday, probably later in the weekend. I just had a bad session at the 20/40 and 40/80 eh.
