11:35 Sun night there's 6 $5-10 games going. 3 avg 6-7 BB's a pot and 3 less than 5. There's never as many good games going compared to full HE tables at $5-10, and it gets twice as tight above that. Which is why banking the nice score that you did isn't realistic on a long term consistent basis. There are no where near the newbies flocking to stud like they are in HE.

I saw a young woman drop $5K of her boyfriends roll playing live $20-40 HE. She has the skill level of a .50-$1 player. You aint getting that in stud.

This is a good post that really gets to the heart of the matter.

The 5/10 games are drying up. I see all sorts of regulars dropping down in limits.. Paigee, McNabbtoTo, Jemoinga, Roland, etc.. The 5/10 game sucks right now, and once the people who are still playing there experience the downswing the others probably have, they'll probably have to find another game.

Before you used to be able to count on 2 maybe three fish at a table. Now, you can find maybe one guy that's maybe playing a few too many hands.

The table that grisgra experienced is not common, and neither is hitting trips and getting called down. Just look at how many 5/10 tables there are that run, and see how many people post in this forum that play in those tables. That's gotta tell you something.. hmmmmm.

Who is this GolfMaster you all speak of? Has he paid for some plasma tv's for some of you?
