There is no question that all the CO games are tough to beat, since people tip more in the CO 2/5 than the Mirage 10/20 game (it amazes me how many 50 cent tips i've seen at the Mirage, you can't do that at the Lodge). Now the 5/5 rake is up to 5 bucks a pop. I haven't been playing in Blackhawk much the last three months, since it takes me an hour to drive there, and it is so much easier to play on-line. Plus no tips, and much lower rake. I do think that the on-line players have gotten much tougher in the last year though. I think the biggest difference was when the government started cracking down on banks making it tougher to some credit cards and some of the internet fund transfer companies. This has made it tougher on alot of the fish to make impulse purchases. I do like the atmosphere in a B&M club and so I think I'll go up to the Lodge tomorrow afternoon.
