My First Tournament Win

i havent played 5-10 in a while since i mostly play 10-20 (although i might be at mohegan on saturday playing 5-10). The problem with 1-5 is that it is boring. i started playing in AC and with no ante the proper strategy is very tight in raised pots. plus you rarely get to use any sophisticated strategies.


at 5-10 the game is usually populated by at least two or three good players. but the rest will be pretty bad and the games are very profitable. the 5-10 games at foxwoods are the most profitable games i have played in. often i made more money ina session at 5-10 in foxwoods than i make at 10-20 in AC.

Pat, I agree with you on $1-5 no ante -- that's roughly equivalent to the $1-3 game, which I also find boring unless there's a truly wild and crazy lineup. But the $1-5 with .50 ante is a bit different -- that's the game I'm referring to as a run-up to $5-10. I'd be interested in hearing how you play in those $5-10 games at Foxwoods to make them so profitable.
