I'm not talking about rake, I'm talking about pain.
You can call a 6 dollar 3 bet in a 4-8 limit game with pocket 4's with the intent of going for the jackpot. The same 3 bet in 1-3 nl could be a 50 dollar call instead of 12. And what if you hit, think of the pain of having had to fold the 60k jackpot hand for a mere 50 bucks.
The only reason I don't play as low as 2-4 limit at the Orleans is because they have a rule that in 2-4 limit the jackpot is half. But at 4-8 the jackpot is the same as 1-3 nl.
I play no limit only at the Strip, never at the Orleans or the Red Rock. I play limit there strictly for the jackpots.
This is practice is not my idea. The late Quack Quack taught it to me. He played 2-4 limit and 2-6 limit just for the jackpot. He played no limit elsewhere. Although he did do overs.
