Is No-Limit worth switching to at B&M?

[Groty]

True story.

This hand came up about an hour into my very first NL session:

4 guys tried limping in ahead but I was dealt pocket 10s on the button, so I raised. One of the blinds and all the limpers called. Then the mother of all flops came. The two remaining 10s and an ace with two spades. With 5 callers, I figured I'd get action from one guy playing an ace and maybe one other guy either with a small pocket pair or a flush draw. To my surprise, the first guy bet and EVERYONE called. The turn brought a spade face card. Tons of possible draws. First guy bets, a raise from a guy in middle position, only the intial bettor and I call the raise. Another face card comes on the river. First guy bets, the guy who had raised the turn mysteriously releases his hand. I naturally push all in. Initial bettor calls. He shows me two red 5s!! I was shocked, amazed, amused.

Move to no-limit.

Where the heck are you playing? The Resorts (formerly Harrah's) $10-20 HK plays roughly like Party's $.5-1 to $2-4 (on a bad night). The NL game has an $8/.5 hr. time charge.

If you can't beat the $10-20 there, there's something off with your live play.

I've been seeing donktastic play at the $10/$20 games as well, when looking over longingly from my $5/$10 ghetto. I wish like hell I were bankrolled for that game.

I've had good success with the Resorts 10-20 game the couple of times I played it. But i'm closest to Potowatomi. The Potowatomi 20-40 game used to be far looser than the Resorts 10-20, but the worst players eventually went bust or now play only no-limit. The 10-20 at the Pot is still good, but it's no longer the fish fry it used to be.
