Re: Is B&M low limit waste of time?

I can't remember the title of the thread but I held the same belief as you and we had a giant discussion here in the B&M forum about chip structure and its impact upon action.
I was wrong. Chip structure has a huge impact upon action. Overall and on the average a multiple chip structure game will be looser than a single chip structure. Now don't say "Well last thursday the 5-10 had eight family capped pots in a row!" because everything about poker is situational. Some days the single chip structure will be loose and the multiple chip games will be tight but overall, day in and day out there will be a significant difference in the action.
Don't just take my word for it, start watching on your own and you will see. Once you begin watching for it, it is very noticeable over period of time.

If you start watching for the opposite, you will find that is true as well. It's called confirmation bias. We see what we want to see.
Chesspain is more correct IMO. 2/5 blind structure outweighs # of chips as a factor for tightness of play.
