you don't undersand why a pro might prefer making 1.5BB an hour at 20-40 to making 4BB an hour at 3-6.

The only issue with making money at low limits is the rake, and even then you can make money, you're just paying too much of it to the house.

Thank you for being the first person to raise an intelligent argument on this thread.

It's amazing that so many refrain from discussion on a "discussion board."

DeeMo,

Welcome to the boards. I think if you spend some time here you'll find that some of the smartest minds in poker are associated w/ the 2+2 publishing company. Most of the flaming you've received so far seems to be due to a common understanding that loose games are ALWAYS beatable for more bets per hour than those with tighter, more skilled players. It's just mathmatics. Ed Miller's book, Small Stakes Hold'em is considered by most to be the definitive work on these games. You should seriously pick up a copy and visit the microlimits forum for great discussion of the game.

You will find that the members here practice a tough love method - no offense should be taken. We are all here to learn and posting incorrect opinions is the best way to do that.

Best of luck,

Salty
