being properly rolled is huge, you can't play your A game if you're scared the whole time.

This is so true. You shouldn't even feel anything until it's atleast 5 buy ins.

Sounds like a plan.

EDIT: Moving to UB I mean.

Nah, 50 nl on ub isnt beatable. BBJ tables.

Pardon my ignorance, but this is a joke? Either way, what effect does the tables being BBJ have on the games?

More rake, which cuts into your winrate.

Is this actually a reason not to play the UB 50nl tables, or was johnnybeef just kidding around?

Nope, dead serious. Here is why. They take an additional .5 out of every pot over $10 at nl 50 and above. .5 is 1/2 of a pt bb. For someone who is 20 vpip, even if only 8 of those 20 pots that they play are over $10, that is still 4bb/100 that you have to overcome if you win all of those pots. That is a pretty significant increase of rake.

That also assumes you win 100% of the bigs pots you play which is probably not realistic, although I do see your point. I guess my question then becomes what do I do about the fact that there appear to be like 20 BBJ and 2 or 3 non-BBJ 50nl tables on UB. You think its better to find another site, or just jump to 100nl once properly bankrolled since the $.5 BBJ rake matters less?
