2/4 Foxwoods.. what to do in a rock garden?

Gobbley is on like a 6 month downswing if i'm not mistaken...before that he won at a good rate. If you win 3.25 big bets per hour, like OP says he's doing, that ain't bad (I currently am at around 1 big bet per hour at 6/12, so he's actually making more than I am), but I can't imagine that sort of win rate is sustainable. Are the players THAT terrible?

I really can't believe that 3.25 BB an hour is sustainable with the rake at 2/4.

The general consensus is that 2 BB hour is the "max" for a live low stakes game, 3/6 and above, but 1/2 and 2/4 the rake is crushing.

1 BB an hour is certainly sustainable at 6/12 playing TAG.

OP, the general consensus here seems to be that you've found yourself in a bad game and that you should try to avoid. That being said, if one of your goals is to become a better poker player, playing in tough games on occasion is certainly not a bad thing. Two things I have to stress:

1. Good players have downswings. Big ones, like 100 big bets or more, are commonplace. If/when that happens, don't get discouraged.

2. Don't count on your true win rate being 3.25 big bets per hour. Unless the people you play with don't even know the rules of the game (which doesn't sound like the case), I think you're probably playing well and running hot. Enjoy the heater [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
