WHICH GAME IS MORE PROFITABLE????

[hbgolfpro]

Lets assume that we can beat 15-30 in the casino for about 1BB/hr. My question is.....would it be more profitable to play 3 tables of 4-8 online...as long as those three table are played well....or stick to one 15-30 game? Each game should produce appx. 1BB/hr......so whats the best way to go?

the 4/8 game would require no travel, no waiting lists, no tips, and have less variance. that's what i would pick.

Thanks for your post. I wonder what the 4-8 game is beatable for online???

I agree w/ Astro.

4/8 games are more rare, i would opt for 4 3/6 games on intertopspoker

Since online poker is anywhere from 2 to 2.5 times faster than a live game, and since the rake is lower and you don't have to tip or spend money getting to and from the casino, you'll make more playing the 4-8 online game provided that your opponents are roughly similar in both games.

his ratings were per hour. while the example doesn't make complete sense (1bb/hr 15/30 player should surely be better than 1bb/hr in 4/8, especially with nearly twice as many hands), that's the scope in which i answered it.

in buying my seat in the poker stars one million tourney tomorrow? I'm asking $2,200 Firm. I can't play it right now, but if I can't sell, I will let wife play. If interested, contact Poker Stars support staff.
I hope I didn't break any rules by asking that here.

Good point Astro, now that internet poker has more players than B&M poker, a base rate should be more now in terms of $ or bb per 100 hands rather than per hour. Many of B&M games are lucky to get down 40 hands per hour, games like stud and omaha(H/L is worse) maybe 30/hr on a good hour. Onlne 4 tables can do 60/hr per table thats 240 per hour which is what you might see in a 6 hour session B&M. This makes the luxury to the skilled players, you can play 3-6 multiple games and probably make similar to 15-30 in a casino without driving/tiping/waiting, the rake for 4 tables will cost higher rake per hand relative to the betting abounts, but probably lower overall costs, or you could play 1 or 2 15-30 games and make more per hour if you have the BR and should be able to make more long term $.

If you can beat a decent live 15 game you can make much more playing Party's 15
