So, you buy in for $100, wait for your moment, then double up (or
bust some poor chump).  Now you're playing deep.  It didn't take
me too terribly long Friday night to build up my stack to where I
had some real play.

$120/hour is a lot to take off the table ... but they take even
more than that off of a $6-$12 limit hold'em table with a $3
button charge and $1 taken out of the small blind for the jackpot.

Frankly, though, the baby NLHE game I played in on Friday night
was sufficiently good that if a player can't beat the rake she's
one of the live ones.

That's what I find so attractive about the game: that it is so
very live.  On Friday, I got out of a juicy 20-40 game to play
in the baby NLHE game, and I'm glad that I did.
