Actually its just in time for my 6 week run in Vegas, then after the WSOP we will see if I still have a roll to get into the 20/40!

So that means you raise EVERY paired ace?

Heh.

In other news the meal tickets are now good for one year after issue date.

gonna be in phoenix for a fri/sat in july and i'm gonna play at CAZ one of those days. which one should i choose? i'll play anything up to 20/40 and 2/5 NL (or i guess spread limit)

i'd also play a tournament < $500

Which day? Either is fine. I would pick whichever gives you the most time to play personally.

i'm just curious if the games are different. like if there are games that run on sat that don't run on friday or vice versa. website doesn't have much info regarding games offered and the last couple pages of this thread were all BBJ related. i'd like to play mid-stakes LHE. or if there's some mix games or O8 running.

it's prolly gonna be poker one day and baseball the other.

You'll have 8/16, 20/40, 2/3, 3/5, and 8/16 Omaha anytime you go between 10am and midnight both days.

Mixed games run at 40/80 and higher fairly regularly those days as well. 20/40 mixed is a random occurance based on who is around. Three or four weeks ago it was going on a Fri evening.

exactly what i was looking for. ty.

I have a theory that the 2/3 is actually better than the 3/5 as too many nits stink up the latter.

5/10 runs inconsistently. Mostly regs playing a visitor.

I am 100% on board with that theory, but it could be because I am not good enough NL player against decent players to be able to win at 3/5. My hugely exploitable style doesn't run over the table like it does at 2/3.

hit up the 2/3 for a few hours this evening...had the pleasure of getting seated at a table with old gentlemen who is there everyday who can't read the cards and has to have the dealer read them out loud...

he proceed to drop about $1200 in the couple hours that I was there, guy was just handing over his money on middle pair, etc. good times.

'Blind Man Mo' I call him. He can see better than he lets on, but still plays terribly.

yeah I figured that, but I always see him there so I would assume he was decent...he was paying off so hard I probably shouldn't have left

This is pretty spot on Pope... even the decent 2/3 players take a while to adjust to you then they do it incorrectly at first(as I personally witnessed happen when we played 1 session together)... in 3/5, they will react to you immediately and are very willing to put in chips preflop and postflop so they are much more difficult to be 'run over' but can very easily be value towned after just a few minutes of your style, so just be prepared to switch gears very quickly and count your winnings!!

I really do think the big TVs in the center add to the room and give it a different feel from other poker rooms. I am liking it more and more.
