*blech* long response lost probably.

Why $5 to go with $1 and $20?

no flop/no drop else I shudder....

I dislike the 1-2-3 and 2-2 structures with 5 to go and $100 stacks.  If you 
open for $5 then the last blind is getting 5:1 and will often call correctly 
and if you open for $10 then he is getting 2:1 and will often fold correctly.  
With deep stacks thats OK as the implied odds make it muddy enough to be 
interesting.  But with puny stacks (20:1 open to stack ratio is less then 1/2 
of party's 50:1 and 1/5 of starz 100:1) even the silliest of fish with figure 
things out fairly quickly.  It would be a somewhat more interesting game if you 
could limp and bet/raise non mod 5 amounts preflop.

Do you know where your structure came from?  Its not like the ones I know of 
from the online world.
