I was there during that period on Friday September 30th, and the first 2-5 table was being dealt by 8AM, with a second added later in the morning and both of them running into the afternoon. I don't play there much, but when I do it's usually on weekdays during daylight hours, and that's the earliest I saw 2-5 running, but I've also almost never not seen a table before noon. Regardless of the specific weekday or the time of year, once weekday 2-5 tables are filled, you can count on at least 50% regs at each one.

I know the game usually runs early. You did answer my question though. I was wondering about the regs. Seemed like almost every morning I ever played there it was five or six of the same exact people. Nice guys and all, but not great for the game. I feel like if I notice so do other people and it discourages people from getting into those games. I am considering moving back to full time play and trying to figure out hours to play. I haven't played the woods in years. Any opinions on the games over there?

FYI , Reg does not often equal good player, It just equals a player who is good at showing up often.

Like a person who's first name would precede the word bear? lol. Are you a regular in those 2/5 games? I am wondering if I know any of the people on this forum. I'll be heading up at some point this week. I may play down the road, heard its bananas right now with the WPF.

I agree too, but I think I'd still prefer to play 2-5 against a table of randoms versus one that has a good chunk of regs. At minimum, regs will know each others' tendencies and in some cases might be prone to do what many might consider soft play against each other.

I can't believe I'm asking this, but how often does 1/1 run?

A good friend of mine is ridiculously horrible at poker but wants to give it a shot. He is the definition of a calling station and I don't want him to lose too much too fast so I'm thinking 1/1 is the way to go.

Is that game always running on weekends? Particularly early morning Sat or Sun.

TIA

runs all the time

I checked MS website and it's listed for Sunday Nov 20th, they run it every 3rd Sunday of the month. They posted the results from the 1st/2nd ones close to 2am, so I'm guessing the tourney probably runs for 15 hours from 10am to 1am. I couldn't make the first two, but want to make the next one. GL

What kind of br do you think is suitable? I went busto before by tilting/hitting the pits.

no Bankroll is big enough for the pits or even a bad stretch of tilt. But if you can avoid those and depending on bills I would say somewhere near 20buyins is a good bench mark.

Anyone interested in starting a weekly mixed game? Maybe bring the pink chip game back? ($7.50 a $15 HORSE) maybe add crazy pineapple. Will settle for a 4-8 HOSE or HORSE or 6-12 and play with turtle chips. Think if this game gets going on a weekly basis people will catch up and it will become a great action game. Anyone interested let me know

Yeah I'm a little shy of that right now. Do most people buy in full 800? I was always used to the game with a 500 max before they changed it.

You gonna be up tonight? I'll be there. Pobably dabbling in 1/2 maybe take a shot at the 2/5 if i pick up some chips in that game.

I think i may know you.
