Default the world\'s best poker game?

I play in three games: a 3-6 HORSE, a 6-12 Hold 'em, and a 10-20 Hold 'em. The 3-6 game may be the greatest game ever. Most people deal O8 or HE. In O8, more than half the players play any 23, any A3, any A4, any A5, and any 34, even for multiple bets. Four people will always play things like 5678. They get in raising wars when they have the second best low and no high. In HE, one guy will put four bets preflop with a 34off. It's "his" hand. Another guy does it with the 85off. Everyone calls my utg raise with AToff and the like.

My stats for the last year:

10-20 $13/hour
6-12 $9/hour

These are based on 500+ hours each game. Obviously I'm a decent player, but certainly not great considering I'm well under 1BB/hour.

Now the stats for the last 600 hours of the 3-6 game:

$20.22/hour, standard deviation of 100.6


The point is not to brag--my 5-10 and 10-20 stats show I still have some work to do. The points are:

1. 3 BB/hour + are possible in very loose games. 600+ hours is a big enough sample size, right?

2. With extremely poor players, O8 is the game to play. I think this was reflected in Poker Essays when MM listed smaller bankrolls for O8 (compared to HE).

3. OK, maybe I wanted to brag a little. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
