So my sample size at live (for this year anyway) is relatively small so my opinion my not be super accurate. So Sydney Star Casino has 2/3 and 2/5/10. I have only played like 6 sessions of 2/3 this year and this is extremely soft. Probably equivalent to like 2c/5c online. I have yet to play 2/5/10 because the waiting line has always been ridiculously long. I am going to try play it sometime in the next couple of weeks.
When I went to Melbourne last week, I played 2/5 and 5/10/20. The 2/5 game was also ridiculously soft. I think it was one of the softest live pools I have played in my life. Just to put it in perspective, on one of my tables I moved from my seat to the left of what I thought was
the spot of the table (whale) only to be told 10 minutes later by another reg that he was one of the top winning regs at 2/5....
The 5/10/20 game in Melbourne was the first time I actually felt like I was playing against opponents who actually knew how to play. There was a lot of 3 betting and 4 betting and it reminded me of online. I didn't play for too long on this table so I cannot really make an accurate comparison but I would say maybe 50nl or 100nl equivalent. One of the regs could probably compete at 200nl. Although you mainly just target the weaker players, since you are battling 9 handed, so having other competent regs on the table becomes less of an issue compared to 6 max or short handed online.

Hey mate,
Enjoyed your video series, I look forward to seeing more 500z hands reviewed.
How is live poker going and is it softer than Ignition? whats your hourly like in comparison knowing you beat 200 zone.
GL
Thanks, lets hope I get there so we can review some 500z hands hahaha.
Yes live poker is incredibly soft. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother working so hard on my game to increase my winrate at 200nl by 5-10$ an hr when I could just go play live and increase my hourly by $30 with no stress and little work.
I am not sure what my hourly would be live, since I rarely play but I have been told by live regs their hourly. On Ignition my WR is 4bb/100 and I play 500 hands per hour so $40USD an hour. If I play 2 reg tables it would be an extra 150 hands per hour. So my hourly is $52usd an hr. Apparently a good 5/10 reg in the US makes 70usd an hr and I have been told the 5/10 regs in Sydney make close to 75 AUD an hour.
