Default Re: The Borgata.....how tough is the $10/$20?

Now I mainly stick to tournaments online, but when I go to a casino, I usually stick to the cheaper limits. Due to no cheap omaha hi games and being broke due to no employment by going to college.

When I eventually get out of school and make a decent living I plan to step up in limits. I see limit as a grind even in higher stakes. Just harder to get reads on people, and you have plenty of people chase you down to hit whatever possible draw they have on the river. I feel limit is more relaxed then no limit, and I always feel more at ease when at the table. I played basic 300 max 1/2 NL in AC before. I thought the play was decent (better than other places of the country I have played cards in), but the stress is heavy on me, mainly because I play with a limited poker roll. So I think I play better overall at NL, but find the bad beats to be crushing to my limited poker roll. My limit play is decent, but I am not sure, if I can make a consistant profit at it on higher stakes.

I am usually at a 3/6 to 4/8 player when at a casino. I also will enjoy the occasional 2-10 spread game (at the few places I have seen one). How is it when you take a step up to 5/10, 6/12, 10/20 and so on. I mean if there is a 3x bet preflop at a 10/20 game, will you still get 5-6 callers just because everyone will call any preflop raise just to see the flop, or will you have action of only 2-3 players? I would figure a higher limit game would actually be easier than a low 2/4 or 3/6 game because since you are playing better players, they will actually fold when they are beat instead of sucking out. Though according to this thread, and others like it, at places as big as AC once you get out of the lowest limit stakes, and can just make a jump to medium range stakes, that the style of play is mainly the same.

But earlier in the day the 10/20 table I was playing at was tight. So if you are in a tight game, ask the floor for a table change.

At this point all 10-20 in AC is fishy, avg is usually about 5 to the flop (note this very often does justify people chasing on the flop for 1/2 a BB even with bottom pair)

I have heard the Borgata 10/20 is one of the softest 10/20 B and M games in the world.
