To all you 2/4 players - how many hands of 2/4 have you played, and...

Why is that? With a 1/3 structure, there's less dead money in the pot to begin with, and the SB is less likely to defend. Why is the likelihood of a medium-sized pot inreased?

You'll see a lot more MP/LP open-raises on 3/6 than on 2/4, and there are a lot more players on 3/6 who recognize a steal attempt when they see one, and will punish it with a pretty wide range of hands. So you end up with a fair number of hands where it's folded to CO who open-raises, Button 3-bets, SB folds, BB calls, CO calls....etc.

At least in my experience, on 2/4 CO would be more likely to open-limp with a mediocre holding like K9s, and Button more likely to limp behind with his A9s or 44.
