Foxwoods Day Trip

[shipitfish]

I am off to Foxwoods tomorrow with Dawn and others. I am of course not going to make a final decision about what to play, but I am deciding between seeing what the $2/$5 NL games are like on the weekends (I haven't played them on a weekend in years), and doing a full day of limit HE.

My idea for limit HE is to buy in for 30 big bets into the $4/$8 game, and move up every time I have 50 big bets for the game above me, and see what limit I hit. I thought that would be a fun and amusing experiment. I play this game of “how quickly can you move up?” all the time.

My goal in going is not to maximize EV, but to amuse myself a lot while keeping my EV reasonable. This is why I'm leaning toward the limit thing, but am open-minded. Let me know what you think, if you can do so before 08:30 tomorrow morning. :)

you should get into the no cap 5/5NL game. that game is like printing money.

2/5 with a cap of 300 SUCKS. no quite as bad as the bellagio's 2/5 with a 200 cap, but still...

Yeah, I have watched the 5/5 game over the years (I learned to play poker at Foxwoods), and I probably agree with you. I don't have an adequate bankroll to be playing 5/5, I don't think. Plus, the whole NL feel at Foxwoods has changed, and I've heard most of the 5/5 players are now in the newer 10/20 blind game.

Limit? Ew.

I encourage you to be more open-minded. NL HE is certainly my favorite game as well, but being able to shark all kinds of poker games is an important skill for any serious poker player.
