Or if you get up big just switch tables and put some profit in your pocket because that's barely cheating to no wonder your name has the word Shady in it. Still a solid tip though.

Why in the world would you want to buy in to that game with 500? Effective stacks man. You don't need 500 to crush that game.

Maybe not that game, but its a great thing to do in general

Not sure what you mean by this but I was just giving an answer to a solution.

Yea cause Im the only one who ever thought of it right? It happens both ways all the time. Taking money off the table shouldnt be compared with putting more money on the table. Only a dealer would think like that. Its so obvious who you are.

Thats kind of like when people dont bet when they should and someone asks why and they say the pot is big enough.

If you're a good deep stack player you 100% of the time want everyone covered, especially in these games where players get deep and have no idea that they shouldnt lose 300 bbs like they would with 100 bbs.

Heres a hand that was played about a month ago. This is what you can expect not always but alot of the time.

Villian 1 a really aggro fish raises to $20 pf between him and 2 others every hand it was at least $20 to see the flop. Villian 2 whos played like 3 hands in 3 hours just open shoves for $250 more and Villian 1 snap calls like didnt even think about it.

Villian 2 shows aq for 1 pair and villian 1 shows a5 for 2 pair. Now villian 1 has like $700 wouldnt you like to have $700 with him?

A few hands later the biggest nit limp shoves $350 pre and gets villian 1 to snap call with jj and gets a coutesy overcall from one of the fish with 44. The fishs logic was he knew they both had high cards so he thought it was really likely the board would run out low cards and hed win.

So JJ flops a jack and AA turns an ace and aa scoops a monster pot and then JJ whines for the next few hours about how unlucky he was.

That fish might not be playing if he sees a 1-3 table with 7 regs with 700 each in front of them.

Not sure why you think I'm a dealer but the point was the buyin is 300 I would like to buy in for more as well but your not supposed to. Finding loopholes is the equivalent of cheating. Buy in for max and run it up.

Absolutely this. Cheating is sometimes advantageous, but it's still cheating.

Going south, as well as going north, which is what this is, are both unethical. Use whatever rationalization you want to justify this but it is cheating, call it what it is.

Fish dont table select.

Its the only game where the max buy in is 100bbs. I might agree if every game was like this but there not.

I think the high rake is cheating. I didnt even say I did anything but just a way to get around a bad rule. Why is it ok to buy in for 120 bbs in 2/5 but only 100 in 1/3? Why is it ok to buy in to the biggest stack in 5/10?

1/3 is already handicapped do to rake compared to stakes, so its ok for the casino to handicap it more by maxing 100 bbs?

Theres way bigger issues then trying to be the moral police in a handicapped 1/3 game.

People go "south" all the time everywhere.... Buying drinks, food, massages, etc. Its totally against the rules but accepted for some reason.

Im all for going "north". If someone has an issue, they are scared of u basically. There is no real reason why it should be TOO frowned upon, aside from there being a casino implemented table max.

Is it just the 1-3 game's existence (it's morph from 1-2) that has limited 2-5?

2/5 also went from 600 max to 1k.

they changed the 2/5 game to 1k max buy-in?

Yes, 12-1. I've played 3 times since and other than a couple players I don't recognize most buyin as they did before. 2 Friday's and a Saturday and haven't seen game get hugely deep.

Fairly small and stagnant player pool. Not enough table selection for that limit when it does run. Our area doesn't produce a lot of jobs with high disposable incomes.

Other high stakes offerings. If you want deep stack gamble-y action then any of the PLO offerings fit the bill - except the smaller Thursday game. Otherwise, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday all offer PLO games that play bigger and deeper than $2/5.

Fridays are the best because the better $2/5 NLHE guys are playing in the $5/10 NLHE and there will still be 2-3 $2/5 games going. And if the $5/10 PLO breaks up you have a few of those guys going to $2/5 or $5/10 NLHE. But on a Thursday or Tuesday, daytime or night the game probably sucks unless you're a crusher.

I love 2-5 NLHE and Potawatomi is only twenty minutes from my home. But I don't like playing with the same small group of people over and over again. No ability to table select. Game is often short-handed.

What's the max buy-in for 1/3 NL?

Will be in Milwaukee for a few days over the holiday. What are the chances there would be any limit games 10/20 or higher running the night of the 26th or 27th?

The shorter you're willing to play the higher your chance of success. If you're only willing to play a full table you're probably looking at 1-2% chance of a game going. $20-40 LHE is the featured game on Tuesday if you're still around. It never hurts to start a list for the game.

$300 but apparently everyone in this thread thinks it's kosher to add on however many chips you want.
