Default Re: 3/6---9 fish table......don\'t sit down?

*grunch*

There used to be a B&M like this within walking distance of my apartment. I played there nearly every day it was open, sometimes staying until five in the morning even on a work night. That casino closing was the worst thing that ever happened to my bankroll.

You will make the standard 1 BB/hr or so. However, it comes in the form of the occasional 10-30BB pot that compensates you for the parade of suckouts it took to get there. You'll go for hours where it seems like you get either unplayable hands or playable hands that miss flops. Then you raise AA on the button, flop a set and lose to a runner-runner straight. But then eventually you have KK, flop kings full and get paid off by six people, or you crack someone else's AA with a small pair because the pot was six-handed when it got to you.

These games can be beaten, and for a lot, but the variance is gross, and it's even more annoying when you can't multitable. It's not unthinkable to drop 30BB in four hours in this type of game, but it's also not unthinkable to win that much in two hours either.
