5p/10p and 10p/20p
Why do both of these cash tables have the same maximum buy in even though there different levels ? puzzles the life out of me
Comments
It was mentioned on the Mastercash progam before. I can't remember the reason but the max for 5/10 is indeed £20. Which is x200bbs rather than the usual 100xbb. I was kinda wanting to start my cash career on 5/10 too. Kinda puts me off. Don't understand it either.
It really doesnt make sence, it should be changed surely ?
SKKKYYYYYYYY???????
I'll maybe PM Sky-Rich tomorrow to find out. He's usually pretty good at giving answers. Or I might e-mail it into tomorrow's Mastercash program? Yes, that's a better idea. If I remember. I'm well drunk. Again.
yeah have a look.
there is one table with a £10 max buyin
Come on beaneh. Giddens ripped you a new one regarding AK the other night. You're wrong here too ;-)
Ed said that AK was only A high. He said it was a powerful hand for many occasions but not for shoving with, what I think Sam had, 100 bbs. It was only 2/1 to hit at best even if it wasn't dominated. I concured entirely.
Beaneh, as much as I like his stuff on The Clinic, had a polarly opposite view. He reckoned, and I've noticed him saying this quite often on The Clinic, that he'd need to be paralysed before he wouldn't risk his stack with AK.
Have to say I'm not that big of a fan of AK in that situ either.
Poker's all opinions though.
Thoughts?
ThIn Response to Re: 5p/10p and 10p/20p: This is sound advice from beaneh imo. When I was grinding 10nl, I would always buyin for 100bbs. I considered it an advantage that there was a 200bb max as you would get more players with bigger stacks. If ppl at 10nl with 200bbs are bullying, they are generally playing a bad game and you should be able to capitalise on this.
This though brings up the argument of `well, if you can capitalise then you should buy in full`. It is a fair point, but if you want to go through the levels, then jumping from an £8 buyin to a £20 buyin can seem a bit drastic. Buy in for £10, when ur br increases you could buyin for £12 or £15 or whatever you want.
Personally, if I was buying in for £20, I would just go straight to 20nl.
The only gripe I had with the 200bb max at 10nl was the fact that when I wanted to top up a table, I had to manually type the amount in, and just couldnt hit `maximum` button. It can be a pain when multitabling.
