Jason,
To expand on Bennetts comment, anytime the large blind is 1/2 the
small bet, the game becomes a crap shoot. Too many people see too
many flops to catch the better hands. IMO, there is a difference
between the two limits but not much. Look for the ones that require
full blinds...this will help...some...
