I haven't been there in years but it's a tradition for downtown and I assume it's still running. Game is not really different from the average 1-2. Stacks are a few hundred. There probably have been a few games that got big but nobody is making $50 hour there. $10 hour would be a good record.
MY first and only sighting of the legendary Tony Bigcharles was in this game. I was seated a a different table and didn't play with him. He left a little while later.
I talked with someone who said people make $50+ in 1/2 but the $100+ are suspect because of the small sample. He figured 50-75 would be the maximum.
I never learned how to play against bad players that well. So I could in theory win more often but not as much.
It would be really interesting to know what % of a win-rate is due to live reads, game-selection, player specific exploitation .. like take the best crusher.. where do they get the most extra value above other pros?
