Crypto now has micro limits

Fraubump · #1 05-05-2005, 04:36 AM

.25/.5 in limit and as low as .15/.25 in nl.

This is good for relatively risk-free bonus clearance, but, like all micro, bad for winning players, as many weaker players will now play lower stakes. (what a different universe it would be if all online cardrooms has chosen to mimic B&M and had 3/6 be the smallest game spread--I guess micronization was inevitable, though)

I think people would be too scared to play 3/6 online, I think a lot of people would want to start off small...

This isn't bad, the whores will be playing lower limits now, the higher limits will loosen up IMO

I know the arguments for the positive value of micro (introduces more players to the game, etc.), but, given the option, I'm moving to the alternate universe where 3/6 is the smallest game spread.

I predict that within a week there will be hardly any .5/1 nl games on crypto and those that there are will be tight (35% flop or lower).

I was waiting for the right time to move to $1/$2 NL....guess this is it....especially as the roll has just hit $5000.....

I may have to definitely install Party & skins as well and just go over to that big ol' aquarium.....

Booooo! I hate this.

I'm playing at a .25/.50 table now, it's taking .05 rake at a dollar in the pot, if these count for bonus the cryptos just become a very easy whore!

wait... so does this mean you could clear the hourly bonus at william hill by just playing the microlimits?

I'm playing three... and nothing has happened yet. it's been a half hour since the first installment "should" have been there... could just be a lag though.
