1/2 & 1/3 games with $5 chips - Page 2 - Poker Card Room

I imagine it was influenced by 'security' or 'cage' that pulls boxes. This is a pretty busy room and to only have to pull boxes once a day offers labor savings for sure. They roll their BBJ at 6 PM each day but I can't pin down a time that they are in the room for changeover.

You can't deny it's a lot easier to count less chips, but you also can't deny how much more visible those reds are when they fill up the tray 2-3 times during a long session. They must be numb to it because there is very little chatter about it from what I've experienced. GL

Also, not saying the skill level increase at 3/5 here or elsewhere is a huge gap. Incidentally a fair number play both and the 1/3 players trying to take a shot or even those trying to chase their earlier losses, don't adjust well.

I do have to say that one of the reasons after I moved up that I don't sit 1/3 often is because of the fact that more often the average 1/3 is worse for wear, but the fact that more hands tend to be played more multi-way on multiple streets negates a good deal of 'skill' advantage that can be deployed HU and/or IP vs. a lone weak player.

My feeling is that if I wanted to gamble I'd go to the local casino and bet Bank at Baccarat; if I wanted to torch money I'd buy scratch-offs and play 20-spot Keno.

Also, my last vacation to Hawaii just after NYE was paid for, largely in part, by the dedicated members of "Say Good-bye to Franklin" club.

ITT we meet someone who moved up to where they respect his raises.
