1 game vs. 2 smaller games

[stingyboy]

Assuming your skill level is that of the typical 2+2 player, that is, far above average...if you were to invest $55 a day in poker, would you (mathematically) be better off playing one $50+5 game, or a combination of a $20+2 and a $30+3 game. Or would your expected net gain/loss be identical over the long term?

since skill matters more over the long run i'd guess that playing a 20+2/30+3 would be more profitable than one 50+5. you're able to make more good plays (and be punished less by bad beats), and the monetary reward at the end is the same.

(the chip difference between 50+5 and 30+3 on party skews things slightly)
