Probably not since most must move games are filled with regs trying to get their seat at the main table to play with the fishy that sat down to play T-T. I guess Parx is a weird dynamic since there are 2-4 tables running, and the main game usually just starts because "it's Tuesday and people will come play"

I've been told that the main game is usually just solid players and rocks because the guys who you want to play with tend to bust out on the must move tables trying to get to the main game, or if they get there they just flame out and leave.

Yeah I've always understood you'd want a must move table over a main table given that that's all the info you have at hand.

If a game only runs built around a certain whale - then the main game is best. If the game runs on a regular schedule, then typically the feeder tables are best.

Hi everybody
I am a very modest winner over the past 1000 hours maybe making $10 an hour. I have a 35k bankroll and a very low monthly nut. Where do you guys think the best place to play 2/5 and build a bankroll would be? I need to win as much as I can so that I can take a main event shot

I have a similar theory about even "normal" LLSNL games like $1/2 or $2/5. The winning players can remain at the table indefinitely, the rocks can grind it out all day, but the drunks and donkeys will go broke fastest. So the longer a table runs the more likely it is that it fills with rocks or winners (as they stay the longest) and the less likely that I want to continue sitting there.

Ideally that means I'd table change to a better table with some more action. But in most of the rooms I play in that's not particularly easy, or it's only a marginal improvement. So instead I ask to move to any new table they're opening.

Anyone else noticed this?

It depends many times the rocks (especially at lower stakes) ime leave when they reach a certain threshold to protect their stack.

Damn, reading this thread makes me feel lucky living in UK, at least 20 casinos within an hour of where I live, reading some posts saying nearest casino is like 3-5 hours away ��

Also what's average buy in at 1-2 in the states? At my regular casino it is uncapped and usually very deep games, people buying in for 500-1500.

My regular 1-2 game is an organised game with similar line up every session, don't think its best for my game but it's very juicy and even though everyone is a rev doesent mean they are winners , I'd say me and my best friend are only crushes, maybe 2-3 break even-slightly winning players and rest losers

In US, neighborhood is pretty slummy if you are close to a casino.

My graph for first 10 months of playing cash, 185 sessions of 1/2, 2 sessions of 2/5 , 1 session of 5/5 and 1 2/2 session.

i have a 20 hour a week job aswell, so not the worst i suppose. I stupidly didnt track my hours played until start of 2016 so don't know true hourly.

In my area

1/3 is 33-100bb
2/5 is 40-120bb or 40-160bb

5/10 is 200bb max
Beyond that everything is uncapped

If given the choice, I am pretty sure I would slaughter the sheep.

Really?

I see a lot of $300 cap at $1/2 for 150bb. A reasonable number of "match the largest stack" games at both $1/2 and $2/5 (although those are less common).

It differs by state/location.

My regular spot is $60-$300 for 1/2, $200-1000 for 2/5, and $600-$3000 for 10/10

Yea, they're pretty common where I've played in MI/OH/PA/NJ/FL. Vegas was hit or miss from what I remember.

Uh, no.

150bb is much more common for 1/2.

The trend is moving towards bigger buyins. One example is the 2/3 game at the bike. It used to be a very small game. Last time I played it was $300-$500.

I generally always go to the new tables.

Winning players show up at 6pm and expect to grind out 10 hours, total fish show up 10-11pm and expect to play for an hour or 2 till they bust
