Moving up, whats my incentive?

Accident · #1 02-15-2005, 11:23 AM

With my goal being to increase my bank roll, whats my incentive for leaving a 3/6 game w/fish raking in $50 hour to go to a higher limit game like 10/20 that pays 1.5 big bets an hour, provided I'm good enough to play at that level. Or, are the 10/20 games just as lucrative?

I am in the same boat as you basically. I usually play 2/4 or 3/6 online but everyonce in a while I will do the 10/20 6 max or 15/30 full tables at Party. I think game selection is really what matters most here. Sometimes you get lucky and find a 10/20 game that is easier than the 1/2 games. Other times I have been playing 3/6 and see like 3 names that I recognize from 2+2 and the rest of the table is like 22/8 vpip/pfr type players.

Swings can also be bigger and less friendly at the higher limits too. I recently had a day where I had a 1500 dollar swing which is definitely a little too extreme for me. Good luck with that though. Later.

50 an hour at 3/6 is probably not sustainable. Just so you know. I had a similar thing where I was banging out something like 6 or 7 BB/100 hands for a 2000 hands or so. Eventually it all evens out and I am at a little over 2 BB/100 now.

Higher limits = more money if you can beat them. What more incentive do you need?

I forgot to specify, bad players at B&M in Vegas. Live play only.
Thanx for the replies.

You're not actually making $50/hr. No one can at 3/6 (playing live).

Lets see. Over 8 BB/hr and a brutal rake. That is nothing short of amazing. In fact, it is beyond amazing. It is incomprehensibe.

you're not making 50/hour playing 3/6. you may be over a short sample, but there is no way that's your true winrate.

why? 3bb/100, 300 hands an hour is 54. i mean even at 2.5 it is still 45 an hour.
