I find in 2/4 that people will ride 88 until the river with tons of overcards out there trying to make something out of it. Or they will play connected or suited anything from any position. One time a guy sitting next to my girlfriend was about to fold after the river, showed her his hand and said "It's a shame to have to fold pretty cards like these." He was holding 36s with absolutely nothing going for him.

In 3/6 I see a little bit more PFR, but the quality of play isnt really that much better. It is a little bit, but nothing to get excited about. It seems like there are more hands that end before it comes to a showdown, especially if there's someone at the table with a big enough bankroll to start bullying people around. Even then, those tactics only work for those people about 1 out of every 7 times they try them...the rest of the time people bet right into them forever and they make a killing.
Hmm i know what you mean.

In my local casino, there are two poker tables. Both are limit, one is 4/8, and other is 10/20.
The level of play at the 4/8 table, is incredibly loose. Half the table is ALWAYS going to see the flop, and there postflop decisions are not so inteliigent (e.g. staying in all the way to the river with pocket 5s, hoping to hit that set).
The 10/20 table is much much better. Most people there know what they are doing, so it is harder to make as much money there.
