Default Re: 1-2 nl

I ammsue this is a capped buy-in game...

That being said this is going to be a very high variance game. Playing TAG and being able to get away from TPTK type hands and assuming you played enough hands you are likely to be in the 10-20PTBB/100 range maybe more.

So lets do a little math. At 1/2NL you will be lucky to see more than 40 hands per hour (on the high side here, but lets use it for the sake of example). 20PTBB/100 (again on the high side) for 1/2NL is $40 per 100 hands or about $16/hr without any consideration for rake/time charges. Just imagine if you had to pay $5/hhr time charge, leaving you a whooping $6/hr... Can you say fast food pays more?

Is 1/2NL beatable, in the short term yes, in the long term no, but who is going to play 1/2NL for the next 10 years.

If your B&M has a 2 or 3/5 NL game, get in it. The quality of the players will be very similar, but the money will be greater. If you can run in the 10-15PTBB/100 range then the game becomes much more realistic.

If the games you are playing in not capped, well none of this is relivent.
