Default Entertainment vs. profit

Disclaimer: The below is based on full ring games. I seem to be one of the few who prefer a full table to 6 handed. That said …

At these lower limit, there’s no problem with jumping in as high as you can for your roll. Honestly, with anything above $500, I’d be playing 3/6, though I know that’s not the text book answer. But I’m confident in your ability to beat these games, so you might has well make as much money doing so as possible, especially with financial security right around the corner.

I don’t notice much difference between 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6. Solid play is rewarded, creativity punished. Play premium hands, don’t bluff, don’t get frustrated at suck outs, chase when it makes sense, and enjoy a slow but steady win rate.

I don’t know where the skill level starts to take off. Based on a few quick hit and runs (which were stupid risks that I shouldn’t have done) 5/10 is a bit of a different ball game, with more check raising, blind stealing, etc. But based on TP’s post the other day, there are plenty of lousy players at 10/20.

Thanks for your reply. I'm certainly not looking for a textbook answer - but in this case, I don't know if there is one! I want to finish clearing my bonus at Party. I also have a pending bonus at Stars and Ultimate Bet, as well as an Ultimate Bet rakeback payment coming within the month.

It would be good if I played some $3/6 tonight, won a few bucks, and parlayed that money into a rebuy MTT or something.
