I don't know why you are coming at me so aggressively, as if I was insulting your mother. You can't fathom that you can beat the game even if the drop is $5 of that call? You don't care how soft they are? What would your winrate be if two players at your table would call ANY raise preflop once they'd put money in? It is perfectly normal behavior for LA live fish to call $15 to defend their $3 big blind. $8-12/hr is feasible for mere mortals, $20/hr happens at $200 buyin games.

Like so many online players, you seem to have no concept of how differently live plays. I may have made an error in reasoning but I'm afraid that even it that is true, its not going to be enough to offset the fact that they are raping us so hard that it is impossible to be +EV in anything under 5/10. I don't care how soft the games are, imagine how that ratio of 'money won: money paid in rake' would look if you were paying between 10x and 50x as much rake. Look at how much rake you've paid per hand, its going to be a tiny fraction of a dollar, mine was 0.10 at nl100, and that's just looking at the hands that saw the flop (it would be even smaller altogether, since PS has no rake if there is no flop). I'm sure people will come up with stories about someone they know or how soft the games are, but I don't think anyone can actually stay ahead of that ridiculous rake. This would seem to indicate, unfortunately, that the game is unbeatable in the long run. I called all the local casinos (bike, commerice, HP, hustler) and $5 is basically standard around LA. It's an unavoidable risk in live poker with a roll that low when the lowest NL limits you'll see are 1/2.įound this thread googling there is very little information about the drop. I'd be playing the 2/3NL with that much, but you very well might go broke. Let's put it this way though- if you're a live player, $1500 is not a bankroll. If you follow the 20 buyin rule (and it ain't a rule, just a suggestion) you'd be talking about a $6000 roll to play 2/3NL.

A true buyin for bankroll purposes would be 100x the BB. The buyins there are irrelevant to your question. What do you guys think of this bankroll management?īasically what I want from this bankroll management is: I also consider myself to be a consistent winning player, which I'm sure would effect my bankroll limit considerations. With a Poker BR of $1500, should I be playing the 3/5 $200 or 2/3 $100? I'm an amateur when it comes to planning a bankroll for live casino games.
