What's a Flop?

Five hands have passed since a flop has been shown. Lots of the players are taking their time to think through their actions before committing to a hand. Lots of preflop raises, even more preflop folds.

Players Are Playing Tighter Than Normal

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Lack of hands to report is evidence of how tight the play has become. Since the game switches between Limit and NL every 30 minutes, most of the play tends to tighten up during the NL round, as all of the players seem to want to make the final table. Hardly any money has exchanged hands and chip stacks remain roughly the same.
