2/5 is a ****ing carnival of loose, horrible players and degenerates. But there's definitely at least a few very, very good players also who I imagine are destroying the game

When the 5/10 is playing the 2/5 is a little tighter but still a good game

Yes. Unless of course it goes from 6pm-6pm. Although, I have never asked.

The rake at 1/2 and 2/5 is just disgusting in general. Fixing that would be better than any promo they'll realistically do.

When the nearest competition for 2/5 is over 1.5 hours away, there is 0 incentive to change the rake structure unfortunately.

Anyone have decent hours logged at $1/$2? Is it beatable with the $7+$1 + $1(tip) structure?

I hate playing here for 1/2 but its so much closer than anything else.

It's beatable but not for a rate that makes it worth the time. Maybe $10/hr? You'd be better off getting a job at McDonald's or doing almost anything else.

You really need to just play 2/5 here, end of story. 1/2 is really just for the old man coffees who have no interest in beating the game and just want to maybe break even and burn time and see something vaguely entertaining.

old man coffee here...you must be doing something wrong, there are a number of us old farts that can beat the 1/2 regularly.

$60ish an hour over the past few months...higher the last two weeks.
play 2/5 sometimes...just a lot more loose gamblers who like to play for their whole stack every time they have a hand (or big draw).

how late and which table? I was there in the afternoon.

we had an AAAxx board, with two pocket pairs...but only one was the right one.

Bout 11p or so. A few people in the room started leaving, but not the mass exodus you might have expected once the beat hit.

$60 per hour at 1/2?!? You should snap move up to 5/10. I bet you'd make $600 per hour in that game. Stop limiting your potential!

Man, that'd be a TINY sample size. The game is SUPER soft, doubtless, but $35/hr?? Have you seen how SLOW the average dealer/player is up there? Don't even get me started...

$35 per hour at 1/2 with an eight dollar rake ($7+$1)? Not a chance. All the money is being raked off the table.
