Crushing live 2/4 tables

[OrangeCat]

Don't play 2/4 live. Between the tipping and the rake, it is not possible to make money in the long run. 2/4 is a total waste of time unless you are poor or just goofing around. The difference in skill between the avarage 2/4 player and 6/12 players is not nearly as great as some would have you believe. Read some 2+2 books and play 3/6 until you get the hang of it rhen move up as soon as you can.

I don't think this is true. Maybe to someone who has never played 2/4 live it may sound true, but the players are so awful that the rake isn't as bad as you may think. For example, with 3-4 staying into the river with nothing, the rake at most is ONE BIG BET, but awful players love to play loose-passive and that one big bet is just one of those guys calling with crap. I really don't think that 2/4 is "unbeatable".
