Default .5/1.00 vs 1/2

I'm curious about your guys opinions on the .50/1.00 tables vs. the 1/2 tables at Party. Do you notice a difference in opponents skill levels?

Also, have you noticed a difference in the time of day you play?

Im talking about limit holdem', but I think it is probably close for all the games.

You will probably get a better response if you post in the Microlimit forum.

However, while I don't currently play either limit, I was watching someone play 1/2 today and it seems a lot like .5/1 from what I can tell, but tighter.

Yeah, I thought it should go in the microlimit forum, but I thought it was also sort of general. It could be 7-stud, Omaha...but yeah I see your point.

From recent memory (3 or 4 months ago). 1/2 is less of a rock garden then everyone claims it is. I'd say there are some tighter spots at 1/2 but not enough to make it a bad game. When I was playing 2/4 i'd step down to 1/2 when i needed to get bonuses cleared in a jiffy because the rake kicks in a lot sooner there but it seemed like the same game. 2/4 is still somewhat loose and passive and 3/6 is tighter for the most part and more aggro. (this discussion has taken place a million times might i add, so a search might be helpful)

best of luck

I think at any limit where 6-max is more popular than full ring, the full ring games will be tighter on average.

Daytime (US) is generally tighter than evenings.

Good tables are to be found regardless.

According to my very limited experience, 1/2 is better than .5/1 to clear bonus. You get larger raked hand percentage. It is not that tight if you can find a good table. Normally you can.

Party 50c/$1 is a piece of cake 99.5% of the time.
Party $1/2 is a piece of cake 90% of the time.

right now, weekdays evening at 1/2 are rockfests. .5/1 are much easier to beat and are beatable 24/7 where it is best to play 1/2 on weekends.

The 1/2 games are worse than the .5/1 and the 2/4 games IMO. I think its because of the 6/9 max tables offered at 1/2. I beat the 3/6 at the same rate I beat the 1/2(bb/100) and with any poker knowledge you should have no trouble destroying the .5/1.
