All My Money Are Belong to Me (NC Thread)

[CrMenace]

I play live at Foxwoods. I think the rake is $1 on the flop then 10% capped at $4 ($5?).

I'm not afraid of higher stakes... just wanted to demonstrate winning play by building the proper bankroll. I takes a long time though and I'm pretty much convinced I'm a solid winning player at live 2/4.

is there a bad beat drop?

do you toke the dealers? (i'm not convinced that i would at FW since they pool tips and many dealers are said to be terrible).

this is a respectable position, but yeah, it's probably time to move up. 4/8 is supposed to be awesome at FW anyway.

CR - I played at FW in spring 27 hours of 2-4 over 2 days and couple weeks ago about 8 hours 2-4 and 7 hours 4-8. I am almost literally break-even (as of last night -$18) over 35k hands of .5-1 at PS and FTP, +$80 5k hands .25-.50. I think you are at least as good, probably better, than me, and FWIW the 4-8 game at FW I think you will beat. I personally will likely play that exclusively going forward as I think the marginally tougher play is more than offset by the nearly 50% reduction in effective rake, both cap at $4, the 3rd and 4th dollar drops are at higher levels at 4-8 though. Varies by table, but in general 4-8 is more aggro, there will be more raised pots, but still 5-6 to the flop. I think people like BBB will say there is no diff b/t the 2, but IMO that is because he is so much better than the players at either one the differences are immaterial. I will say that in my limited experience there has never been a player better than me at my 2-4 table, and often no one even close. At 4-8 there has been at worst 2 people who may be marginally better and a couple who are close, but there have always been 4-6 60/5 type fish.

[KitCloudkicker]

ok, let me just put the hammer down right here and claim that the FW 4/8 is crushable by anyone who is break even or better at .25/.50 or above.

BBB you disagree?

So it went off this morning... you get a piece?

Honest to God, it went off on THE EXACT TABLE I was playing, minutes after I shut the table down... after a 5hr session, which I have done the last three nights.

I am only not killing myself by convincing myself that either:

a) My seat hadn't been filled, so the cards would have been distributed differently
b) I would have folded the winning/losing hand preflop, or I would have raised someone off it preflop.

So, I'm taking a break for a while. I'm on the verge of going busto and over it atm. I think I might go start playing WoW again. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So laters dudes, I will probably answer PMs if anyone cares. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

thats the logic I'd use too. if you were there the cards would have been different.

dude, go play 50c/1 or below and tear up the tables and if you happen to lose 100BB then you can just go meh

Figured I'd play some min-bet poker to trade with my session swap amigo...
