1/2 NL with 100 max buy in.
I'm going to be driving through Niagara Falls in a couple of days and I'm debating stopping at Casino Niagara or Fallsview to play 1/2 NL. I don't need to kill time but I'm also not in a hurry so time isn't a factor. I'm really just interested if people think its worth it.
I've been playing 1/2NL in AC lately where the max bux-in is $300. I've been really liking it and I'm especially liking the challenge of deep-stacked poker. I'm not a huge fan of short-stack poker. Its just more boring due to not being able to play as many speculative hands. What are people's thoughts on the 100 max buy-in 1/2 games?

[/ QUOTE ] This is what I do: Get there early/mid afternoon, and work against the other $100 stacks to grow your stack. With reasonable luck, you'll be nicely stacked for the evening, and you can punish the new small stacks. You'll also have a few deep stack competitors to contend with. It can be interesting and fun.

Re: 1/2 NL with 100 max buy in.
50 bets deep isn't *that* short.. the game probably plays pretty wild.. avg chip stack is probably >100bb. if you want to play you should.. you should probably be getting all in on the flop a lot of the time

Re: 1/2 NL with 100 max buy in.
If Florida 1-2 100 max buy-in is any indication........take your meds before playing.
I'm at my wits end right now.

[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm thinking I might pass. I'll only have 4-5 hours at best, and if I have to spend most of that just building to 250-300 I think I'll shoot myself. Plus, if most people are at 100ish it doesn't really matter if I've built my stack, its still not worth playing some of the fun hands.

Re: 1/2 NL with 100 max buy in.
A lot of the regulars at this game will start out by putting all their chips in the middle VERY LITE pre-flop until they either have 150-200BBs or lose their buy-ins.
I remember watching a regular a couple years ago, go ALL IN preflop with KJos his very second hand and I didn't understand it. Only later did I see that he was just trying to build a stack.

Re: 1/2 NL with 100 max buy in.
its as mentioned before, 2 bet or 1 bet poker... you arent playing the turn and river...
its also as mentioned already, build a stack poker... once you have a stack then you can punish the players coming in and/or play deep against other deep stacks. is there a 1/2 the deep stack rule etc? if so, get moved to a table that is deep already and buy in for the max they will let you.
