What's a "reasonable" long-term win-rate at Party $1/$2?

[woty87]

I'm just curious because I play mostly on Party $1/$2.

Is Party $2/$4 really looser than $1/$2? Can anyone else validate this? I've been playing $1/$2 because I thought it would be a good place to fine tune my SSH game. But I'm really not constrained by my bankroll, so should I play $2/$4 instead? I've been running about 3BB/100hands for 3000 hands at $1/$2.

Thanks.

2/4 is as loose or looser than 1/2...2/4 is much more aggressive post flop

No bankroll issues, go to 2/4. 1/2 is not the play to learn IMO

play about 500 more hands and then come back for a serious analysis.

This is gonna be my new line.

if your goal is to win a lot of hands, then just stop folding.

At the card barn I play at in NYC, they did a promotion where for every pot you won you got a ticket, and once you had 100 tickets you qualified for a freeroll tournament for a plasma TV or something.

Anyway, it was really interesting to see the loose/bad/losing players with a mountain of tickets in front of them. They'd be stacking their little tickets and yelling "chips!" at the same time. It was like a physical manifestation of the concept that bad players win way more pots than good players, but still end up losing money.

BB had AK or TT-88 maybe?
