Jesus Megabet, calm down with the 100BB buy in! The "normal" rule of thumb is 20xBB. But most people buy in with just a rack ($100) at 2-4 3-6 and 4-8. [/ QUOTE ] I like to buy in for 100 big bets, it's my standard. It works well, if you can afford it. |

Re: First Trip to a Casino... Advice?
You're talking about the actual $$ you place on the table right? Or do you mean your bankroll for that level? I just can't see what having 100BB on the table is good for. Other than MAYBE intimidating some fish, but other than that it's just gonna get in your way of seeing your cards.

All he talks about is how it's advantageous to have a big stack at a NL table, he doesn't say a thing about limit.

Correct. [/ QUOTE ] My brain hurts... 2/4 HE is different the 2/4 NLHE last time I checked. 20 BB's is fine. |

Re: First Trip to a Casino... Advice?
If you're a decent player, I don't think 2-4 is a good idea. The rake is too high and the pots too small. I'd play at least 4-8 or 3-6 if that's all they have. You'll still see some pretty weird play (lots of chasing) but when you do win a pot it will probably be a better size. Most of my experience is at the casino & I always buy in with $100 to 150.

Re: First Trip to a Casino... Advice?
Well I just got back. I played 3/6 and made $200. The players there were so horrible. That was with some bad plays leaking chips and a chop of a huge pot after I flopped the nuts [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] . It was so much fun though and if I lived near a casino I might play there a ton. The players are so bad its like you cant help but be profitable. I dont play much limit so it was also a big learning experience in that regard also.
