Any interest in trying to get a 1-2 PLO game going at Cadas? Not sure if Omaha is out at MCC right now but I'd like to give PLO a shot. Might be able to get it going if we can get 6 people

Discuss

Very few people would tip if they just did it at the end of the session.

...but while I think it might be a little bit of an extra rake of sorts that siphons chips off the table, it ultimately is just part of the game. If you're worried about the chips leaving the table, you're just one small step away from being an anti-tip nit. Don't turn into "that guy".

I agree 100% with this.

Still tho... is it good or bad for the game as a whole.

Disclaimer: I am absolutely for tipping dealers. Just curious about the methods involved.

But I see your point, with all the money that's being taken off the table in rake, who wants to see that much more come off.

This Saturdays tourney is their "Ironman Tourney". Max 60 runners, $250 buy-in, 30K chips and 30 min blinds.

Moved to 12:00 pm tomorrow from 2:00 pm. Players complained of registering at 10:00 and having to wait until 2:00 pm for the tourney start time.

3/4 time temp job at U-M. They let me take Tuesdays off, so it's a nice balance between "unemployed degenerate" and "too overworked to find time for poker."

I bubbled the 1:00 pm and didn't feel like sticking around for the 7:00 pm. Good luck.

Got to play NLHE with Pot Odds at Cadas. Millsandrew was dealing. Pretty surreal, right? Lose $85 in 3 hands and get called to the PLO game. I had two pair!

PLO with Atarirob, Sevup, and a couple others. Pretty fun so far.

They really appreciated it. Everyone knew you could tip outside on smoke breaks, etc. but very few people did.
