Default Re: Where are the full ring 1/2 games on the cryptos?

you're not going to be able to whore the cryptos efficiently playing just 10-max $1/2. this is because of the introduction of micro-limit tables AS WELL as some of the skins switching to a $1 rake requirement which is bumping players up to $2/4+. if you do manage to get on a full ring table after being wait listed up to 10 deep, expect flop percentages below 30% and pot sizes of 4BB's and under.

there is a decent amount of 6-max strategy written up both online and in books for you to read up on. you'll have to learn shorthanded anyway to be successful on about half the major poker sites in the long run, so might as well get cracking now instead of later. with many of these bonuses worth as much as $10/hr*table, you don't have to be an awesome player to be +EV, and you'll presumably get better with practice. I clear the dealt/hourly bonuses on Crypto every month with any combination of 6-max dollar/pound/euro HE, and maybe 1 or 2 stud tables if needed. combined with the tandem casino reloads on the UK-based skins, the potential for easy profit should be much higher than the fear of adapting your game.
