1-2NL Starting to Become a Very Boring Game...
Not to say it wasn't boring to begin with...but the fact of the matter is that its becoming tough to find good 1-2nl games anywhere in Vegas... Whether the max buy-in is $100, $200, or no cap at all, the games just aren't that good. I managed to visit 4 cardrooms today when I was out, and saw the same thing everywhere I went: all limping preflop (usually 3 or 4 players, tops), leaving a measly $6-8 in the pot. Now I'm starting to figure out why a lot of casinos charge a $5 time fee every half hour instead of raking from the pot...because most of the hands never even get a rake! The only loose 1-2nl game I have ever seen on a consistant basis (5+ visits) was at Foxwoods in CT. Other than that, these games are turning into games with 10 players sitting around waiting for f-ing aces just to raise to $12, $17, or $20+ preflop to pick up those whopping blinds! It seems the only action I have seen lately is when KK goes up against AA preflop, or some monkey slowplays his AA by limping preflop, just for someone else who limped in for $2 catches a set. Anybody else notice this lately in the 1-2nl "illusion of action" that I like to call it? I deal with it 5 nights a week as well, and have noticed the games to be the same way as described above... thoughts?

I played in the Harrah's 1-2NL game($120 max) game on Monday, and it was nothing like that. Honestly one of the craziest games I've ever sat in, online or off. I had doubled-up in under an hour, but unfortunately had to leave when my buddy busted out.

find the uncapped game, buy in for a grand to properly cover the table. raise every pot to make the nits pay to see a flop. then watch the mistakes pile up.

You're not kidding bro. 1/2 NL is a F'in joke the past month or so. It's too goddamn tight. The 2/5 games are nice but none of the fish want to put up more than 200 to play NL. I think these joints should go 2/3 or 2/4 blinds just to get some more action. 5 limpers = 20 bucks at least in the pot.

Seriously, I do agree that lots of $1/2 games are really tight. The key is table selection. |

Re: 1-2NL Starting to Become a Very Boring Game...
that Mandalay Bay game we played in was the wildest one I played in last trip - but I don't know if that's standard -
if it is, I'm going back this weekend - [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] RB |
