just looking for some general feed back on my situation, first off I have a bankroll of a little over 5k. I was playing a lot of 1/3 to build up my roll but due to moving I can't play 1/3 any more. The casino that I play at has an extremely high rake, up to 8 dollars or 10%. They also rake the pot even if there is no flop which sucks. My options out here are either play 1/2 or 2/5. the 1/2 games generally people are very short stacked having around 100 or sometimes less in front of them, occasionally there will be some bigger stacks. the 2/5 games however play awesome not too huge but not to small either. lately instead of buying in max (200) to 1/2, I have been short stacking 2/5 buying in around (250) and topping off if it goes down. obviously I change my game up and play different when im shortstacked then i do when i double up or have a bigger stack in front of me.

I would just like some feed back on what you guys think of this does any one else experience this at all.

Soon i will be going back to my 1/3 game which is great because it plays perfect for my bankroll, but I just feel the 1/2 game plays to small out here and its tough to beat the rake as well.

I figure if I go on a good run at 2/5 soon and just keep playing well ill build my bankroll up even quicker, however I am also aware of the downside of that.

also the players at the 2/5 game I play at are in general awful, way loose preflop where their tells on their faces, the whole table is usually 2 grinders and a bunch of foreigners that are just there to gamble.

thanks for the feedback fellow 2+2ers

As long as ur not scared money while you are at the 2/5 i say go for it. Me, myself I would play the 1/3 even with the high rake (short stackers can b exploitable) and wait till I can buy in full in the 2/5 game. good luck eitherway

Play 2-5 typically better players here but in turn bigger fish.
Set a limit to loose out of your br. If you hit that point play 1-2 rebuild

Thanks for the replays I would play 1 3 but but there is no game out here..... only.1/2 which plays like garbage

Also won a g today so helped my roll a bit

sorry miss read it good win though in 2/5 buying short? maybe buy full with an one bullet stop loss unless you feel a huge edge
