Re: What\'s 5/10 like?
10/20 used to be a bit looser than 5/10, and often still is. It is much more aggressive though. Mixed opinions on this.
To the OP: 5/10 is a good game these days. If you have the bankroll and feel comfortable with your game, play it. But it is much more difficult than 3/6, which you may not even be able to beat. If you fear ruin, don't move up until you feel a comfortable winner at 3/6. |

I really do not think he was being sarcastic. I have read this before that 5/10 is difficult and players find that 10/20 is a lot easier. I think he was being sincere. [/ QUOTE ] The rake hits you a lot harder at 5/10 then it does at 10/20. I have not looked at the figure in a while but 1.75BB/100 sounds about right to me. Can figure it out with some simple math, but I don't have time right now. But I would not be suprised if an average 5/10 player discovered his BB/100 WR was a little higher at 10/20, then at 5/10. |

Nobody really thinks 10/20 is easier than 5/10 the way that nobody really thinks 3/6 is easier than 2/4. [/ QUOTE ] I *really* think 10/20 is easier than 5/10. |

Re: What\'s 5/10 like?
Are you still playing 2/4 and berating bad players like me and Josh?

Party 5/10:
-- few tables so you're up against the same players all the time (good and bad) -- pre-flop is raised >80% of the time -- < 4 to the flop >80% (50% HU maybe?) -- lots of HU play against/in blinds That's a typical table in my <10k hand experience in the last month. The game is beatable but you have to play tight, aggressive and have a solid game in the blinds. |

I also have about 10k hands at 5/10 and didn't find it too hard. I didn't find it too easy either. Make sure to practice seat selection, taking particular care about your relative position. Even the good tables have 3-6 TAGs, so having them on your left and the loose players on your right can make a real difference. |
