Yes. PokerChamps does. 25NL is 25/50 blinds, and 50NL is 50/1. I think you can buy into the next level for $200 and it's 1/2, so back to 100BB there.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Why do you want to play 50bb instead of 100bb - I understand that 50bb is more profitable with fish around, but how come?

It reduces the emphasis of action on the turn and river making it an all around easier game. This increases the value of AA and KK and other camping hands. It also promotes more action that 100 bb stacks.

I, for one, LOVED the 50BB tables. If I knew of a place that ran them for $100 buy ins, then I'd gladly play.
Like 'Rilla said, it makes actions on the turn and river easier, and allows you to play AK harder and not be so damn cautious with AA, KK, and the like. I was DESTROYING the 50 BB tables, but am not doing so with 100 BB. I mean, I'm still slightly profitable, but nowhere near as much as I was with 50 BB.
Lower risk + higher profits = 50 BB = my preference.

I also think 50BB is easier, but if we are better then the other players shouldnt they be the ones making mistakes on the turn and river and making our game more profitable?

100BB games are all abour implied odds and big "draws" 50bb games it is so easy to get enough in preflop and the flop that you dont give a shit what comes on the turn or river thus making your descision so incredibly easy.
