Most profitable game types...

[Jake (The Snake)]

I've read a lot here about all sorts of different games and their strategies...

I have two questions, one very simple:

1. What are ring games? Are they just one table games? One table tournaments? Or am I way off? Cash games?

2. What is the most profitable type of game? In other words, what game can produce the most BB/hour for a pretty good player, and what are these BB/hour amounts? Maybe somebody can post what they think is pretty good for each type of game...

Thanks.

Ring games are usually synonomous with any kind of cash game.

In terms of most profitable games, its all relative. If you're with a bunch of world-class players, breaking even would probably be a difficult goal. Against complete idiots, any number of BB/100 is possible.

NL is the most profitable per hour for a good player. Its also a game where slightly less than average players will loose money very quickly. I play limit, cuz the swings arent as intense.

I play NL because the swings are less intense
