The poker room is filled everyday and has huge wait lists during peak hours.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are the only that hears what your feet have to say.

Thank you

I realize this..... It would take a ton of people doing the same thing to have any effect. Unfortunately even if EVERY person who wanted to play omaha would do the same it still wouldn't be enough people to put a dent in their business... because it's probably only 10% of the player pool anyway... the rest have no desire and could care less... which is why their fears of it killing their business is unfounded to begin with.


luckily for me I have plenty of other options to Ctown... and I'll keep using them.

I think 10% is way high. I don't think 10% even have an interest in playing if they happened to see the game on the list, let alone care enough to do anything to persuade them to run the game. The one time it ran they barely had enough players to get the table started, and I don't believe there were more than 1 or 2 replacement players on the list, if any. It went for a few hours, the weak players left when they got felted, and it broke when it got down to like 4 players and we all knew there was no money to be made unless someone got coolered.

In a way it was a microcosm of what the management thinks will happen on a large scale (and not just to the PLO game itself). But in another way it sort of disproved it because if players don't keep buying in and getting felted, it can't possibly kill their bankrolls. Granted it's an extremely limited data set; unless you happened to be there that day you wouldn't have even known they were spreading the game.

I think there have been a few good ideas discussed here (lower the buy-in, run it 1-2x a week, etc.) But I just don't think they have any incentive to care about it until/unless they have some local competition that could cut into their business in any way. I.e. another casino locally that's willing to spread the game.

How is the poker room on Sundays? I'm riding up early afternoon this Sunday to play 2-5 NL Holdem........ Also, Charlestown's website say they offer tournaments on Sunday, but when you call the automated answering machine states no tournaments on Sunday, which one is it????? Thanks

Yes there is tourneys on Sunday. They probably haven't updated the recording as it is relatively new, 2-3 weeks. For the current tourney schedule check out the website bravopokerlive dot com. This site has everything listed that you are looking for and current running games and lists.

I would safely guess that it's around 5% of the player pool that want to play 1/2 PLO

And around 2% that actually care that they can't play 1/2 PLO

If 5% of the player pool really wanted to play 1/2 PLO we would have a game going at least once or twice a week.

If that many players really wanted to play PLO the tourney would have sustained its numbers rather than drop by ~10 players per week in the first 3 weeks.

I'm thinking there are a few 2+2er's that think 1/2 PLO would be a game to play in that they might be good enough to run over the other players but can't compete in the 5/5 because of a lack of skill and/or bankroll.

I think that 5% is lolable.

I have been in discussions at the table (at both 1/2 and 2/5) and there have been a pile of players that have asked, "what is PLO"?

I would guess that there are probably about 20 people total that think, hope or care that it is a good idea and of them, about half are disappointed. Out of the 20, 18 are 2+2 folks. Just my honest opinion.

Numbers from out your ass but probably way closer to correct than 10% or 5%. I know I wouldn't play 1/2 PLO even though I know a little about the game and enjoy it. I know I'm not good at it, it plays bigger than 1/2 NL and I don't have the time/energy to devote to learning it.

As I stated, they are my personal "guesses". I never tried to imply anything else.

I enjoy PLO and still don't want to play it live. It is slow with everyone looking at their cards a million times, computing the pot etc... and just doesn't interest me in anything but an online format.

Ctown won't spread 1/2 PLO - although the dealers will tell you otherwise.

They have a huge client base right now. The players who really want and can play PLO have the option of 5/5. Spreading a 1/2 PLO game would cause degens to loose their gambling roll quicker- in turn effecting the money that ctown makes off rake.

Ctown is one of the busiest poker rooms/ casinos in the country. I think that everyone involved is more than satisfied with how things are currently running.

I hear people talking about apps for Bravo..... I have an Iphone, what should I be searching for to download this app as when I type in just Bravo, no poker apps come up? Thanks for any help!

Also, are the structures any deeper now for these tournaments?
