Why have most SoCal card rooms gotten rid of any limit in between 4/8 and 8/16? Not enough interest or? It would be nice to play a limit in the middle there instead of making the bigger leap. HG and Commerce I hear used to have 6/12

Oh that, and my latest theory: Even if you live on a small cul de sac and have great neighbors, there is still at least one loon living amongst you.

8/16 is good. Anything less and you're probably going to get eaten up by Cali's sick rake.

Wish me well tonight. I decided not to get a room and will be sleeping in my car which has no air-conditioning.

Or back seats.

Frond: You're gunna love the jump to 20/40. :/

Edit: Actually, not trying to scare you. You should make the jump whenever your bankroll gets to that point. Most of your posts have been pretty good or at least show that you are thinking about the game seriously. I would set aside the first free 3k you have and take a shot at Comm 20.

Edit2: Actually, PJ gets mad at me when I recommend people to play his game. Try the Comm 9/18, 15/30 instead.

Thanks PBen.

I have had several people who I respect a lot tell me that it is time to move up but my roll might be a bit short for the 20 game or even to jump to the 9/18. I am going to keep at the 4/8 for a bit longer and take shots at the 8/16 HG and or the 9/18 Commerce game here and there. It's been about a year of live play now for me. 7-8 months of it more serious. I did take my first shot at 8/16 the other day and liked it. The play was really no better than any 4/8 game I've sat in on so far. In fact a few of the players were a bit worse than some 4/8 dudes I have played with. Can't wait to move up but I'm going to be patient. Been slowly building my roll and learning as much as I can from great players(2+2ers)and beleive it or not, learning from bad players as well. I also need more time in playing

just closed my eyes and guessed.

i will admit there was 5 questions i could only see one of my two holecards or 2 of the 3 flop cards. i tried to surmise what the scenario probably was(i.e. we raise A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]x and the flop is rag [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]rag [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]rag [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img])

I did this test ages ago, but I can't remember my score. I'll try again later. I do remember the first question used to be ambiguous: they only asked what the worst hand was, without mentioning anything else. Therefore, I chose 72o because playing it is worse than playing 32o. I did, however, know the equity of 72o was higher.
