I am not sure how many of you on this site live close to Atlantic City like I do but I have noticed something over the past few years and trying to figure out why they are doing it.
It use to be you could go to any poker room and play your choice of limit hold em 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 10/20, and higher limits of course. With the usual no limit games as well. Now it seems you go to a casino and the only thing they offer is Limit 2/4 and 10/20 or higher and all no limit like 1/2 and 2/5. I personally am not a big fan of playing 2/4 because people call with anything and a lot of the skill of poker is taken out of the game and it becomes who gets lucky and catches. I also do not have the kind of fund to play 10/20. 1/2 no limit is fine but not on days when I am working on my game cause anyone who plays 1/2 no limit knows most times it will cost you $10 to see the flop. So I used to love playing 4/8 as that took away from everyone calling and was a good limit for me. However those mid range games no longer exist. Anyone have any idea why the casinos are doing away with 3/6 and 4/8 games when it comes to Atlantic City Poker Rooms.
