you can be confident youll be playing much differently and therefor better than every other person at the table.

So if I were to play with poop instead of chips I would, by definition, be better than everyone else at the table?

and a hint...... the proper strategy for this game is about as far away from 2+2 as you can get. playing with a proper and studious mentality can actually result in a loss.

Explain to me how "playing with a proper and studious mentality can actually result in a loss." I play this game almost every weekend and am up a good chunk of change over the past 6 months. Playing like a nit and giving opponents too much credit can cut into your bottom line but part of "playing with a proper and studious mentality" involves identifying your opponents' playing styles and adjusting properly. I can't think of any poker game anywhere where "playing with a proper and studious mentality" is suboptimal.

Also paying 5 for a half hour is almost exactly the same as the 3 dollar rake at most other casinos.

That's true, unless you're playing very tight. When you're throwing away hand after hand, that $10 an hour gets kind of frustrating.

I'm a newbie to the Foxwoods $1-2 NL (about -$150 after 45 hrs); I know NLHE has much less variance than LHE but at what point does my small sample become not a small sample?

northern california NL games have the horrendous rule that the blinds are 1/2 but you MUST come in for 4 if youre going to play, which actually does make it 25 whatever unit you would use to describe that. i miss vegas a lot. i got a notice saying i had enough frequent flier miles for a free ticket yesterday too, this could result in spur of the moment vegas trip, and by vegas i mean excaliber [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

ive said it before and ill say it again.... if youre good enough you can make over $30/hr at the foxwoods 1/2. and thats after the time charge and tips. and yes, i mean long term. the incredibly unusual play of most of the people and the tiny initial stacks make for some interesting caveats, but figure them out and play with optimum strategy and the potential for $ skyrockets. if you make the proper adjustments, you can be confident youll be playing much differently and therefor better than every other person at the table.

do you know what the word "proper" means? proper is a relative term that applies to the situation. there is obviously a "proper" way to play this game that may vary from tighter games. not too crazy...

when i say "proper" play.... i mean playing with the conventional "2+2" style. of course adjusting to your oppenents can never be detrimental, i mean proper in more of the book sense.

solid, tight play does work, but to truly make money at this particular game, you really have to think out of the box and throw a lot of the book knowledge out the window. to illustrate what i mean, think to your past where youve seen someone you didnt know make a really oddball play that happened to work. because you didnt know them, you were unsure whether they were extremely good or extremely bad. that is the essense of this game. to capable onlookers, if youre playing and A game, there are gonna be times you look like a potential idiot.

to be a winner at this game, it takes tight solid play. to be a $30+/hr winner, it takes an extreme amount of imagination and individual player adjustment.

and whenever i use that particular $ amount, people dispute it. but its a fact... and i am only speaking for the foxwoods 1/2, no other game.

[zombies kill]

oh and what do you look like.... im sure weve played together before at least once

If you've played with me, you've seen the card protector in my avatar.

Out of curiosity, how many hours are included in your $30/hour winrate?

I play foxwoods 10/20. I have sat the 1/2 many times the game is a nightmare. Just a college slop luck feast. You start to short, the fee is to high 5$ on the half. If you want NL @ foxwoods you have to play the 5/5 in my opinion.
