View Poll Results: When cooking on the BBQ how often do u flip ur steak?
once 157 55.87%
more than once 111 39.50%
I would like to flip it more than once and season and add BBQ sauce each time as it greatly increases flavour this way, but it does too much damage to the BBQ with the sauce dripping down when flipped 13 4.63%

Default In Which game will your $/hour be higher?

$10-20 limit or $1-2NL. Of course I understand that table selection is the most important consideration, but in general which pays more?

The rakes in both are sky high. The 10-20 rakes 10% up to $6 plus a dollar from every pot for the bad beat. The NL is a $200 max buyin and you can't reload 'til you are below $50. There is a $6/half hour time charge plus $1 every hand for the bad beat. For you Michiganders you'll notice that I'm assuming the Motor City game.

In general though I wonder if a $1-2NL game "pays" more than a $10-20 limit game? I know the variance will surely be higher in limit

like any poker question "it depends"

which game are you better at? do you have 300+ hours in either game to have any decent chance at knowing your expected return

Personally I have made $27/hr playin 10-20 and around $18/hr playing 1-2 NL, granted the rake where i played wasnt as bad as your situation - also bankrolls matter a lot, if you want to do this with a small BR, go for 1-2

Interesting. I don't have 300 hours of 10-20 for at least the past 3 years since I've played NL exclusively.

I used to play $2-5NL and have over 1500 hours logged there. I did really well, but when they got rid of that in favor of $5-10NL I switched to $1-2NL. I was wondering if I was better off playing that or the $10-20? At the $1-2NL I'm making $21.61/hour over 276 hours which surprised me. Since the $1-2NL game has been tightening up and I wondered if I was better off playing limit? I guess I was looking for a general answer to a question that can't be answered so easily

I would assume that you have a pretty decent roll if you were doing well at 2/5NL. I also assume that the 5/10 is uncapped or something like that or you would have just moved up when they decided to run instead of the 2/5 game.

Since you are more or less a NL specialist, play the 1/2 and sit the 5/10 when the game is good and you are running good.

a good NL player can destroy these weak NL games, the 10/20 games can be beat, but i think that even with good game selection the NL games will have better games overall and worse play.

i'm going against the crowd here and saying the 1/2 game just because that rake is going to murder your hourly rate.

My earn would be much higher in the 1/2 NL because my limit game sucks.

Yeah NL games in general seem to be better since everyone wants to play that now thanks to tv :-).
