What's your 5/10 winrate?

[sy_or_bust]

2.5 BB/100 seems sustainable at 5/10 10-max.

So I do agreee that this was a somewhat dumb post on my part but I don't think that this big of a deal should be made out of it. It was just an honest question to see where everone stood.

5/10 Full is not much different than 2/4. Okay its tighter and slightly more aggressive but I find there are far more weak-tight nut-peddlers at 5/10 than there are TAGs. And 2/4 and 3/6 at Party is infested with very very good TAGs these days.

I'm 2BB/100 at 5/10 over 25k hands since I moved up directly from 2/4.

Table selection is more important. Reads are more important. The players are overall better.

My one word of advice: Trap more. At 2/4 you want to jam all your hands because they're going to call anyway. At 5/10 full people find the fold button much more easily.

Trap the TAGs and Mice more. They won't hesitate to fold to a turn raise if they think they're beat, so its often correct to wait for the river to raise (if its headsup and you have position). They will almost always payoff a river raise but have no problem folding to a turn raise if they believe they are behind.

15/30 is markedly harder than 5/10, especially now that they've opened up the bigger limits. If you were only winning 1.2/100 at 5/10, I think you'll do good to eek out .5/100 at 15/30.

Due to confidence reasons (I'm not sure how bad I suck), I'm currently hobnobing at the 5/10 again after 80K hands at 15/30. I did 50K hands last winter at 5/10 and have added 12K more the last 2 weeks. Both times, I ran/am running over 3BB/100. Dropping down from 15/30 really made it apparent how much softer the 5/10 game is, relatively speaking. 5/10 is only slightly looser but the post-flop play is way, way worse.

Personally, I'm not in a hurry to get back to 15/30. My hourly win rate is only slightly less, the focus/concentration level is much less so I can play longer sessions, and the swings are miniscule compared to 15/30.

very interresting post. thanks.

do you have any experience at 10/20? or anyone who could compare it?

I spent about 2 weeks (10K hands) at 10/20 when moving from 5/10 to 15/30. I don't necessarily recommend moving up that fast since, even if you have the skills, the psychological impact of 3 times the money and probably 5-6 times the variance can be pretty daunting (I was running crazy hot at 10/20 and made the jump one Friday night with a bloated bankroll and too many beers in me to be rational).

Personally, I didn't like 10/20 because there weren't many 10 seat tables so I'd often end up 4-tabling the only 4 full tables, which kind of ruins the concept of table selection. At any rate, 10K hands without table selection, especially during a hot streak, was not enough for me to evaluate 10/20 very well.
