A general discussion of $2 BB vs. $3 BB no limit games

The thing is, if there were ONLY 1-3, the pots would be bigger, there would be more action, and there would be just as many games. Put 1-2 in there and 2-5 dies, particularly if 1-2 has a $200 max buy-in.

I play the 1/3 NL while waiting for a 15 seat at wynn, it's a freaking awesome game. People jsut don't seem to comprehend the 50% jump in things (from $2 units to $3 chips).

It's a big action game.

I'm a big fan of the two equal blinds thing. I don't get the 2/5 structure at all, 5/5 generates a lot more action IMO. 10/10 is also a good game. maybe ray or al can correct me, but I think having two equal blinds came from pot limit.

I have also noticed that 5/5 is action city, and have no problem with having two equal blinds. I believe this did come from pot limit games.
