For the Denny Crum, any idea of what the juice is?
They have awkwardly priced events, and they aren't listed as $xxx+xx, so I'm not sure what is going where for it... If anyone can figure out what the juice (excluding the $20 add on) is for these I would appreciate it:
150, 220, 250, 675

There is also a discrepancy between the website and the mail flier, one says 2k chips for addon other says 3k...

Current promotion on Monday and Tuesday is mini bad beat. AAA66 or better beaten gets $5k and the table splits $5k.

Does this require pocket pair for quads? And could it be 77 and 66 with a board of AAA23?

Both hole cards have to play and there must be $20 in the pot. They recently mucked it in a $1-2 NL game. Girl shows a big A on an AAAxx, x being small cards and evryone mucks including 66. LOL, because the dealer did everything in his power to induce them to show.

Week before last, in the NL game, two players with PP's>6 checked it down on a AAA board and there was only $7 in the pot, brand new all time low for missing value, LOL.

Last month it ran every weekday, this month, Monday and Tuesday and it is rumored, after IGC approval it will be Aces full of tens or better to qualify.

Will be up there for events on the 12th 14th and 15th. Pretty excited it seems like the fields should be pretty big and soft.

Hopefully Jimmy reads this.

This new 1/2/5 3 blind plo game makes no sense. The buyin levels are $100-$1000 and you are allowed to straddle the button from $10-$20.

We already have a 2/5 game that runs M/W/F with 2/5 blinds and a $10-$20 straddle with a $500-$2000 buyin.

We already have a 1/2 plo game that runs most days with a $5-$10 straddle with $100-$500 buyin.

The new game makes zero sense. If you want to increase the buyin of the 1/2 plo thats fine, I have been in support of that from day 1. Up it to $800-$1000, but do not put 3 blinds in front of the button and then allow $20 straddles. The game is too similar to the big game. It's the same frickin blinds.

All you need is 1/2(upped buyin) and 2/5. 2 games, no need for something in between . it.

Couldn't agree more Matt. Thursday was my first time playing it with the new 1/2/5 and it made most people not want to straddle
their button which i think is great for the game. I would like to see a 1/2 game with 5$ button straddle enforced.

As for the whole buy in thing, making it 800 for 1/2 PLO sounds good. I do wish they would increase min buy in though. I can't stand the 100$ shortstackers. Also wish they would only let certain dealers deal PLO. Some of them are terrible at knowing pot bets/raises, others can't deal 5 hands in 30 minutes.

I think every PLO game they're spreading is a work in progress. I know it'd be difficult, but I would like to see a smaller min/max (similar to the 1/3 games in Vegas) in the 1/2 just to get more people playing it.

No Joe Blow weekender is going to plop down with $300 in a 1/2/5 PLO game looking at 3-4 2000BB stacks. Period.

I'd just REALLY like to see a lower level to introduce more people into the game and run a 2/5/10 for the uppers.

Just my two cents..... I'm probably wrong.

I dropped in to the room for a weekend earlier this summer, and from what I saw this is very true. (I wonder if I played with the legend that is Matt24!)

All my best,

I was told by a friend that last Friday there were two very drunk and boisterous 1/2 players who both would not fold pre flop or on the flop, and both dropped ~2k, also there was a younger player who lost ~2k in this game as well just running bad. Did anyone here get to play in that game?

From what I have seen at Hollywood Casino in Indiana, the 1,2,5 plo game is taking off, I have seen on more then 3 occasions there was ~$30k sitting on the tables. Also a decent waiting list for it. I personally dont have the roll to play something like this, however weekends seem to be the time this game to have some nice money sitting on the table. I however agree would be nice for some cheaper buy ins to at least get the unfamiliar in and playing some.

Starting Monday, the Bad Beat Jackpot will change. It will become a Mini bad Beat A's full of Tens beat Pays $5,000 and the table splits another $5k. the former bad beat Jackpot will only be offered occasionally as a promotion.

lame...what about the current bbj money?

It will be paid out $10k at a time. It is about 55K atm.

This change is not lame, its awesome!

meh, i just figure it's so rare anyway you might as well win an outrageous amount if you hit it....plus didn't it used to be aces full of 10's like 4/5 years ago anyway

to be honest any bbj that excludes the damn 2-4-4-8 and other limit players from winning is fine by me

$2-4-4-8 died in a grease fire about a year ago (Prayers do get answered), $3-6 is lowest limit.

Cira 2002 when I began to play, BBJ was A's full of ten's.

LOL at NL players, they wanted the BBJ separated because $3-6 won too often, regardless that $3-6 plays twice the hands per hour so contributes twice the drop per hour.

Afterr the NL BBJ went out, guys that hadn't played limit in years were sitting in the $3-6 game because the BBJ was higher.

I noticed, the Limit BBJ amount increased more rapidly than the NL BBJ, obviously due to HPR so it is a case of NL players should be carefull what they asked for.

Mini BBJ is awesome because it is more likely some of the money will stay in circulation and I believe the poker room will get healthly again, or at least healthier.

I didn't know this, but YES!

I understand the points you are making. I never realized that limit got twice as many hands as NL. Every time i've played they both seem as slow.

It will be nice to see some regs hit the mini bbj and keep that money coming back though.

Didn't know if anyone had heard yet, but just saw this on the HSI Facebook Page:


"We will offer a 1-2-5 PLO game with a $100 Minimum and $1,000 maximum. We will still offer a 1-2 PLO with a 100-500 buy in for the beginners and a 2-5 PLO with a 500-2000 buy in for the bigger players, but I think that we need something in between and this seems to be the best bet. My only concern was that is was to similar to the 2-5 PLO game, but after watching that game today, nobody buys in for less than $2K and it plays more like a 2-5-10 game than a 2-5 game."


Very happy to hear this! Thanks Jimmy!

What is the phone number to the Poker Room?

How long can you call ahead to put your name on the list?

^^^bump

1-800-660-9744

I doubt there is a time limit of how long your name can be on the list from when you called in. Of course if they call your name and you are not there they will take your name off of the list.

Does anyone know how the cash games are Sun-Wednesday?

And how what was the longest anyone had to wait to get at a table in general?

I think the longest I ever had to wait was ~30 mins.

I had to wait close to an hour before....got in at a really ****ty afternoon time (maybe 630 or so) and was about 4-5 on the wait list....Ended up finally getting on a table after a new one opened up....generally i think the wait is 10 - 30 minutes even with a deep wait list

Cash during the week isn't bad. Alot of regs that play laggy at night, nitty old guys during the day-ish. (Pretty much like everywhere else, I'd reckon.) You do pick up alot of the donkament fish after they bust after the 7pm tournaments, though.

Just depends on what type of business you're trying to attract.

You couldnt be more wrong if you tried. No the 3-6 game does not contribute twice as much as 1-2. During the week there are usually only one or two 3-6 games going while there may be as many as five or more 1-2 games. And they weekend there may be as many as ten or more 1-2 games going and nowhere near that amount of 3-6. The 3-6 games are also not getting twice as many hands. Not even close. The reason the 3-6 game kept winning the bad beat rather than 1-2 games was because 9 players see every flop in 3-6.
