2 requests already to bring it back.

Arrrgh, okay. I will.
I just saw this soccer avatar and thought it was funny but my kitty will come back soon.

Speaking of RIP, I had to put down the cat in the pic a few mths ago and I was on sad microbob for a little while.

I was aware. That's what made me sad.

You should get a lump sum payment from 2p2 of about 15k to compensate for waste of life.

ahh. know i posted it before but thought your phrase was just figure-of-speech or whatever.
thanks for the kind thoughts.

Too many people identify me by the cat though and switching avatars confuses them apparently so I'll probably bring it back. It's a fun pic anyway..

UB had a few tables of 5/10, stars had several and so did tilt.

If by "several" you mean 3-4 tables then I wonder what time did you look. Stars has in the range of 30+ tables of 5-10 and 10-20 at peak times.

Nobody really plays limit outside of the US, so it was the most affected by the legislation. Many of the good limit players (including the non-US limit players) moved over to NL because of the lack of action, thus exacerbating the effect.

Stars is currently the best place to find a limit game.

If you're going to play poker, it's got to be NL. Limit is dying out in B&Ms too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which B&Ms are you referring to? Commerce gets 5+ 40-80s, 3 60-120s, and 2 100-200 limit holdems every day...

before television they had 2 or 3 40 games, a 30 game, and 1 or 2 80 holdems...

granted commerce is the biggest place in the world for limit holdem, but their limit games have doubled since television... they also of course now have many more NL tables as well...

bellagio limit holdem action has also benefitted from tv, the games are much better than they were 5 years ago, many more tourists in the mix...

Maybe Commerce and the Bellagio are exceptions, because they're one of the few to offer mid-stakes limit.

All up and down the Vegas Strip, low stakes limit games are mainly dead - very tight, no action. Most of the tourists and action junkies have switched to NL, as have a lot of the regular locals. Mid stakes limit players are finding it increasingly difficult to find good games.

The money is in NL.
