Default Re: Making the switch

At my local 2-4, the standard buyin is $40; sometimes less. The dealers give players sh** if they buyin for $80 or more. $200 should be enough to last you six hours or more with a very bad run of cards.

My local also has an obscene rake structure, including the bad beat drop and dealer toke. About $3-4 comes out of every hand that wouldn't have come out online. Even if you do well at 2-4, you won't be taking home much.
