This is my favorite advice video. The 1/2 at my local casino has a $6 rake AND $40-100 buy-ins. So you can only buy in for 50BB (and most people don't) which means the only way to play 'real' poker is when a bunch of action has happened and multiple players have ended up somewhat deep. There are always a bunch of bad short stacks jamming for $12-$18 and whenever you flop a strong draw, the SPR is something like 1, because four people will call. In a limped pot, the rake takes the entire pot. When the BB defends, you're literally playing for your own raise and now you have an opponent. Essentially you need to make a committing decision on the flop, and win significantly more than your share of those large multiway pots, or you have to get it in against one opponent with aces or kings. This means the survivors (I won't call them winners) of this game are basically trying to log hundreds of rakeback hours open-jamming QQ+ and AK with short stacks. You get like $2 an hour. Call it $4 if we add in the expected value of the cash spin that you get to do after 100 hours. Sometimes they will get frisky with AQo or AJs from the cutoff or whatever. They will limp along with pairs hoping to flop a set and then fold if raised. And this is their entire life. Month after month, they get older and older, more and more estranged from friends, family, projects old and new, and their health and mental faculties deteriorate over time because this behavior can hardly be called 'practice-' sure, you could watch Doug Polk or go on Pokercoaching.com, but it's kind of depressing to read Janda and then go back to 3-bet jamming QQ+ and then table changing as soon as you have $80. So they give up on improving their game in favor of grinding more hours, thinking they'll have more money left over next month for the 3/5. Of course, when they do go to the 3/5, they get spanked and move down for 'bankroll reasons.' Eventually they become the ghosts of Los Angeles, withered old men who do not speak and disappear just before dawn after finally spewing in despair. One of the surreal experiences I've had as a professional is ending up at table of the survivors of this meat grinder at say 8AM on a Wednesday when the table spontaneously realizes there are no more fish and everyone starts talking about how they ran. And how they ran is like 4BB/hr. (God forbid you ordered a beer.) These are the disciplined ones who haven't turned into ghosts yet. So, yeah, I keep trying to educate the little grinders who persist at the 1/2 to 'control variance' or for 'bankroll reasons' that the only way to win is not to play. You'll sink into the muck along with your KQs that you can't even open from the lojack. It's sort of like hell, actually. Like Sisyphus and his rock. The casino is just a five minute drive from the airport so you can fantasize about how tangibly close a sun-filled vacation to Thailand or Macau is, where Alec Torelli is making his videos. You can watch James or Andrew Neeme and Busi or Ambra and think "I can have a family with poker!" You can easily make the mistake of thinking that your opponents making atrocious errors such as raising K3o or 22 UTG for 5x, or calling multiway with a naked gutshot, means that you can actually *profit* from them. But this is not the case, because when you call that $12 drunken shortstack with ATo, you need something like 75% equity to compensate for the rake. And the only hands with equity edges like that are AA and KK. It is said by CS Lewis that hell is like a bus filled with people that refuse to look up from their sin and simply exit the bus to enter into the kingdom of God that exists all around the bus. They're free to leave at any time but they feel that they cannot. It is their own belief that imprisons them. And the belief imprisoning the 1/2 regulars is that there exists a path from the 1/2 to profitability, and then they can move up. The way you move up in stakes is to move up in stakes. Like stand up and walk over there. You don't beat the 1/2. It beats you. Thonk thonk thonk thonk thonk.

Jonathan, I have a question that I nearly ever hear an answer to. My question is "what's the best adjustment to make when your live 1/2 game often opens for $12-15 and still gets 2-4 callers frequently?" I hear people say they do it because it helps beat the rake (by ensuring that pots are large relative to the rake). In my mind, It changes the math because blinds become negligible, which makes it correct to play super nitty. My effective strategy (built a 6k bankroll over 2 years) has been to min buy ($50) and either limp-jam or cold 3-bet jam QQ+, and this has been a boring but consistently profitable strategy. Even when they are attentive enough to know they should snap-call to me, I still tend to collect ~20.

Why don´t move up the stakes to a 2/5-game? Since you´re asking yourself these questions that would maybe suit you better. But it seems to me you´re printing money here :)

An oldie but a goodie, LOL. 2024 - Crown Melbourne, Aus. $2/$5 & $5/$10 - 10% capped at $25, $10/$20 - 10% capped at $30, $25/$50 - 10% capped at $50, $50/$100 - 10% capped at $100 - Is this a world record high rake?
