Noob B&M question for the Micros

[kerowo]

So I'm going be home in Washington this weekend which happens to be across the street from the Muck. I'm interested in trying out the poker room there but have some questions:

1. What is the typical by-in for the 3-6 game?
2. How are the games there on an average Friday night?
3. Anyone in the area interested in mocking me in real life?

1. 25BB will work
2. Soft.

[Ignignokt]

1. One rack, same as the 4-8 (with the major difference that one rack is actually almost enough for 3-6). (Edit: don't let that stop you from making an actual proper buy-in, though.)

2. Busy as hell. Soft as a baby's tushie. Almost guaranteed 2+ people will be playing almost every hand, and you can plot a bell curve from there.

3. I would offer in a second, but this weekend is booked up for me.

They play with dollar chips so a rack is $100?

[sean c]

I usually just buy in for $200 at a 3/6 or 4/8 game. Makes a nice little 10 stack pyramid and for a while anyway keeps me from having to worry about a re buy which always happens quickly if i buy in short(one rack). As far as the games go think play money but more passive( i have never played there but as a default for a 3/6 game this is usually the case). Be nice to the retards and have a good time.

My standard buy-in for live 3/6 is $250, of which I use $240 strictly for play and $10 for tokes/tips. 40 BB may be overkill, but if I drop a few pots early, I don't want to look like I'm going bankrupt. I don't like rebuying live.

And if you don't think it's possible to lose 40 BB in a hurry, you're dead wrong. Live 3/6 players are dumb as bricks and looser than a Tijuana crack whore. You will see plays of gobsmacking stupidity. You may be on a variance rollercoaster. Here's hoping yours is on the way up.

[MrWookie]

The typical buy in of $100 is typical for other people. I'd buy in for two racks. I bought in for 3 the first time I played 4/8 live, but that was pretty dumb, and made me stand out.

We'll see, I'm pretty rusty since the legislation passed. I guess I should get some hands in before this weekend...
