didnt know where else to post this one, just a thought...

you and i have both read that ...in the old days... players used to play tighter. you sit around all day to make a buck...or two.

nowadays, with the internet and tv, play has loosened up a lot. so they say.

if that is true, did the br guidelines evolve, too?

meaning, if you used to play a much tighter, conservative game against other tighter players...did variance matter as much? more?

the wilder and crazier the games, the more of a roll you need to carry, right? because the suckouts are harder to see coming?

so, were you ever able to get away with a roll of, say, 10 BI's?

or was it always 20+ min?

if not, why not?
