Hey guys-

Just wondering what you think about buyin amounts at 2-4 and 3-6NL. I have been playing more 3-6 lately than 2-4 because my BR tells me so. But I'm not even really sure if it's advantageous to max buyin there as a rule, because often I'll find that the players who are there don't have anywhere near $600 put down either. In fact, a lot of the time, the average is less than $300. It just seems to me that a lot of 2-4 BR'ed players play at 3-6 tables because there is a seat open.

Don't get me wrong, I think if you can buy into a game and become the big stack, then you should do it. I just don't see the point of putting another $200 on the table when I can cover everyone anyway. If someone goes up, I can always go get the other $200 if necessary.
