I've noticed the competition at Encore for the 1-3 NL tables plays more like 2-5NL or even 5-10NL. Letting players buy-in for a MAX of 500 is WAY too much. Alot of wreckless play by the competition. My second hand today someone pushed all in PREFLOP for 500$ with pocket 6's......with 3 dollars in the middle. Someone actually called with J-10.. .The 6's held up. Seeing a flop for less than 20 was rare. The days of buying in for 100 or 200 are over the way the 1-3 tables are played at Encore and it's because of the 500 dollar buy-in. I get it, ITS GAMBLING....but that's why there are DIFFERENT and higher stakes. A good opening pre-flop bet should be 8-12 bucks.....but not the players at Encore....that same 8-12 dollar bet that would be good at a Max 300 buy-in is 25-35 dollars just to see a flop...I watched over and over people betting 20xs the pot....people playing crap....and calling with crap. Guess I'll just have to ride two hours down to Foxwoods because the gameplay was stupid at Encore.
