3/6 limit is a card catching contest. You have to catch cards & hope your hand outruns the other 9 idiots chasing you all the way to the river. There's no strategy...

All things being equal, would one make more at 3/6 limit or 1/2NL?

[/ QUOTE ]

1/2 NL and its not even close... moreso with those juicy 500 and 1000 buyin games, that is pretty awesome to have those at your disposal... The more I think about it, the average stack is the question I should have also asked. I think a winrate equal to 8-10% of the average stack per hour is attainable by anyone who isnt an idiot monkey, dont even need to be the best at the table

Agreed.

3/6 limit is a card catching contest. You have to catch cards & hope your hand outruns the other 9 idiots chasing you all the way to the river. There's no strategy or hand reading. It's no foldem holdem.

You say this like its a bad thing...

Well it's not if you can stand the variance & not go on tilt.

If you tip $5-10 every hand you will probably lose in the long but don’t stiff our hard working dealers.

What the freak are you freaking talking about? You don't tip $5-10 if you want to make money. You tip $1, maybe an extra buck or 2 here and there for something special. Anyone who's playing seriously and is tipping $5-10 is insane. The only players who do that are whales trying to impress someone or drunk tourists who are feeling generous because the tip looks small compared to the pot.

dont you think this can be a bad thing. if you cant get anyone off a hand then it is a card catching contest. welcome to playing 9/4 ubernit style. i feel this way alot when im playing 1-2.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it's a really really good thing. If all the 30/60 players played this way I'd be rich just going to Vegas once a month. It's a "card catching contest" in the sense that you have to show down good hands, but that is not at all the same thing as saying there's no skill or strategy. A good player who understands poker theory will crush that game, and a bad player will lose all his chipses. That is not what most people think of as a card catching game where luck rules and you can't beat the rake long term.

Geez, some of you guys crack me up.

For what it's worth I'm $26/hour for the last two years, $39/hour for the last 4.5 months at ridiculous Florida dog track 1-2NL.

FWIW, in my experience, in the northeast winrates for 1-2 are slightly less than 10-20 limit assuming you play both games very well.

1/2NL by far.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree, 1/2, but if your a beginner, and a bit gun shy of losing your roll, 3/6limit is a very safe choice. Limit and No limit require different skill sets though, a topic which you can find ample threads about.

1/2NL is more like 5/10Limit. Actually, i used to play in a 5/10 limit game where 7-9 people saw the flop in a reraised pot, never saw that in a 1-2NLgame.

You would if the raises were equivalent - raising to $4 and then to $6.

over my 20(about 180hrs) sessions at 300max ($12/hour time charge) in biloxi I'm at about $20/hr. I've only had one losing session and my guess is I'm running decent. I would guess $10-15 or so is sustainable. the play is exceptionally bad, so maybe more is sustainable.

too bad it costs me about $40 in gas and 2.5 hour round trip or I'd play much more.
