highlight for me was watching a full table of professional or semi-pro poker players (including one or two pro dealers) spend 5 minutes figuring out the winning low in an omaha/8 hand, complete with fishing cards out of the muck to award the pot.
meyou neglects to mention calling out the 7
after the turn, but yes, a very good hand
.
game came off flawlessly, imo. Thanks so much to Small Fry. Your setup is well worth the drive if we can talk you into doing this again! Small Fry, Pfaf, and Calibus put on a great how-to-deal-poker demonstration.
I enjoyed meeting everyone immensely. very entertaining group to spend a saturday with, and a huge amount of poker knowledge in one place. definitely some players I'd rather not play against every day!
Abbreviated trip report:
people started meandering in early afternoon. Played .25/.50 nlhe 4-handed up to 8-handed as people arrived. Then added some plo as the table swelled to 9. As the last few people arrived others split off to start setting up the tournament
12 player freezeout tournament T10,000, 15-minute levels. combined tables at 9 players. I failed to note the screen names of everyone so I'll leave the winner list a mystery. It's all about having fun anyway, right?!
Bustouts got a mixed game going on the side. When the tourney ended we kept that going for another hour or two.
