About 7-8 months ago I moved from the 1/2 NL Tables to the 2/4 tables... and something VERY strange began happening. I was CRUSHING the tables...I dabbed into some 3/6 as well with similiar results. I was pulling 300-900 a night 3 nights and having 1 losing session on the fourth night 500-600 or so. I was on fire for 6-8 weeks or so, probably made close to 10k. I cooled off and took a terrible run (and when playing NL you'll have these swings). I backed down to the 1/2 Tables and began playing more tournaments... which is now where I am usually at (simply because my live game has increased and a lot of my "roll" isn't online anymore) The players at 2/4 and up are much better than 1/2 and down... but that in turn cuts down on the beats, and allows you to play more aggressively and make more moves, as players show more respect on these tables (which I think was the reason for my huge rush)
In my live game I play mostly 1/2 NL but it plays like a much higher blind structure. The average pre flop raise is 12-20, the max buy in 300. I also occassionally play in 2/5 and 5/5 games.

25+2 turbo SNG's on Stars. Closest thing to printing your own money.
I also mix in MTTs alot, mainly playing the 180's on stars. As of late I've all but given up cash games, But I used to play anywhere up to 400PLO8, 5/10 O8, and 5/10 LHE. I think I will have to learn shorthanded, perhaps getting someone here to coach me, because I find cash games boooooring. There is nothing fun about folding for half an hour and having your first playable hand cracked by 92o. Either that, or watching people drag 15BB pots around EVERY hand, then watching your raise with aces take down the blinds. I think I've proven myself to be a better tournament player anyways, and part of me just likes that there is an ultimate goal in tournaments. I guess for me, poker needs a purpose.

Hey Mayhem, why don't you try playing a LAG style a few times in cash games? Maybe drop down a level if you are unconfortable, and give it a shot. Running over a table is fun, and sometimes you just catch on fire. I find it helps your game anyway, so you can change gears more effectively.
As for the original question, I seriously think there are more fish at .50/1 and 1/2 then there are at the lower limits. I would play there if I had the roll for it, but really I am only rolled for .25/50 and below. I checked my PT stats a minute ago and I see I am actually a losing player at .05/.10 lol I don't know I managed that. I have found .10/.25 easier then .25/.50, but I just may have been running bad in .25/.50 because the players don't seem that good. To me, it seems like the higher the level, the worse the players (up until a certain point obviously), but my sample size may not be good enough. That is over 15,000 hands spread across those levels. |
