Default 1-3NLHE MAX $200, worth it?

One of my local cardrooms recently introduced a 1-3 NL game. Max buy-in is $200 and the rake is $3 per hand (I'm pretty sure it only gets raked if a flop is seen). Is it worth it to play in this game? Seems like a pretty short buy-in...

The initial buy-in is kind of short but once you get a few people with decent stacks built at a table it should be a game that's definitely beatable. The $3 rake isn't bad for a live game either.

for what I've seen here the rake is awesome..

with that stack you're getting pot-commited with almost every flop raise.. ^,^

how beatable does anyone think the 1/2 no limit $100 max buy in games at hard rock and the tracks in florida are? obviously playing with weak players is a +. but Can you make good money consistently with only $100 buy in?

This game gets pretty deep after a while. I was there a couple weeks ago and there were 3 players with > 1k at the table. It was definitely a worthwhile game.

Have played in all the TAMPA area rooms.

An above average NO LIMIT player should make somewhere in the neighborhood of $12-18 per hour in these games.

A top notch player will pocket $20-25 an hour longterm in these cash games.

-FH-

ps- Have put in roughly 100 hours personally and have raked in $11.00 per hour running slightly bad to average.

The very one. I play 3-6 and 4-8 there but hadn't been there in a few months. When I played the other day I noticed they had NL (finally) and was thinking about sitting down, however I only have like $250 for poker right now so I'm debating whether to stick to the limit games or go for the NL table.

1/3 $200 max is the standard game at Excalibur in Vegas. They have a 10% $4 max rake, with $1 jackpot drop.
