Kill Pot is where a player buys the button preflop from any position (only for preflop) and he pays 2x the min bet. In LC its $8 since the limp is $4. So now its $8 to limp.
1-1-2, $4 rake post flop no matter the size of the pot, $2 BBJP from what I heard, $4 limps. With 1/2 the table playing short from $40-$100. With $4 limps thats effectively 10bbs-25bbs which means it favors more bad players and not skill.
No wonder. In Florida its 10% rake + $1 BBJP. 1-2 blinds $2 limp. People would buy in for $100-$200. No wonder I racked up there. In Bay area Im getting pounded by all the flop shoves on me and limp reraises with 99 vs my AK.
I think LCs 1-1-2 is not beatable with its format and the buy ins. Even if you manage to get on the correct side of the flops you are still losing. I got into many All ins post flop vs shorties with the right equity. I averaged 60% equity vs all of them. But with a $6 rake Im already losing.
Not sure how you could play?!? If everyone bough in for $200-$300 then it would be beatable. But racing vs shorties when the casino takes your profit just blows.
