Default Re: Is B&M low limit waste of time?

Couple things I didn't see addressed that can make a difference:

1) Not all low limit B&M rooms have the $1 pulled for a jackpot. Try and find (s/b easy in Vegas) a room that doesn't do this. If you're playing for a 3 day run, odds of you catching an Aces full had beaten by quads probably won't be worth the $1 you lose from every pot you rake.

2) It's not a fair comparison when showing the B&M amount that's raked from pots over a period of time. The typical $3-6 or $4-8 player B&M is probably used to $.50-1 or $1-2 online. T

ypical rake is 10% or $4 max in Vegas, correct? Isn't the rake 10% from online. 10% of a larger pot is of course going to be more $$, but you will also (hopefully) be winning a larger pot. 10% is still 10%.

3) You do lose out on tips compared to online.

If you avoid the jackpot games, you're only losing out on tips in B&M and gaining (IMO):
A. game against MUCH worse players
B. bigger pots to win
C. social experience
D. free drinks (even water/soda/coffee/hot chocolate)
