I agree with playing the highest limit you can afford. The live players are unbelievably bad.

The last time I played a limit ring game at the Trop I found out how truly bad they can be. Minimum 5 players seeing the flop, usually 8 or 9. Mostly all calling stations. One girl directly to my right was raising and reraising hands like T7o before the flop. Not all of the time, just whenever she felt like it. Another time she reraised an inside straight on the turn (no other draws and she hadn't acted on the turn yet); I started cracking up when she turned over her straight on the showdown [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. But the funniest was that I don't think she knew that you are allowed to check. Several times in a heads up pot she simply folded on the river when she was first to act; I couldn't believe it! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Many of the other players were similar to her, but that should give you a taste of the types of people you will come across. Unfortunately for me, I was completely card dead and ended up losing $50 (it was only 2/4).

If you can beat .50/1.00 then you'll have no problem with the lower level limit games.

Do you remember when this was? I think I was at your table.

I would say it was about 3 weeks ago, give or take. I'm almost certain it was on a Monday because we came down for the 20+10 R/A tourney but just missed it because of stormy weather and rush hour traffic.

Like everyone else here says, live players are HORRIBLE. IMO, if you consistently beat party 2/4 you should be able to beat 6/12 live while so drunk you can't even stack your chips... but that might just be me.
