Better to have the two different options than no omaha omaha option and no 5-10 HE option at all seems to me. And for those who think the half and half game is better, I'd just say that there was basically no action on the holdem rounds when I played it earlier this month. It might as well have been omaha only.

I think being in Omaha would actually aid the live players who are up against primarily SLHE. And more beats = more pain = more enjoyment for those of us who will play neither.

I think he's out - and I wouldn't be surprised if he is here.
This is the flyer I got for the event tonight.

Sprung mom from rehab, took her to play her Wheel of Fortune slot, she suggested I try BJ to get even, nearly every table on the floor is bumped up to $25 min.

so just went home. Business must be good this weekend.

I'm literally sick I'm not there - what does the higher limit SL HE and Omaha look like?

Actually it is not too unusual, lots of big headphones, sunglasses, and neck beards.

Odd Floor Ruling...

2/3 spread

I raise $10 four callers... last guy says " I call plus all this ". Raises $75.
Two players fold...and I say hold on, is that a call or a raise... dealer says raise. I ask for the floor. The floor says the raise stands.

My issue is... you can't say I call... then raise.

especially in smaller stakes games if he says call and raise in one complete sentence then its a raise. plus you would have to stop the action immediately and not wait to see what happens first.

in general it is best not to punish someone for a small mistake that doesnt affect the action.

It does not depend on what you are holding.

Your cards are irrelevant. His intent was to raise even if he went about it the wrong way. After the hand is over you can tactfully suggest he declare his action the proper way in the future. Calling the floor costs you, the dealer, and the house money, and puts a damper on the action for everyone else at the table.

You cant say I call then raise. You can't say I raise and not raise. You can't say I fold then put it all in..... it's how it works.

He said I call... I can assume this is what he meant... but then decided to put it all in.

technically you are right and technically it should be ruled a call. but its best in the poker world not to call every rule that benefits you. all it does is alienate you from the crowd and makes them play tougher against you. plus when you need some help on a ruling from them guess what.

just like if the cop pulls you over for going 2 mph over the speed limit and tells you technically he is right to ticket you. there has to be leeway in making decisions and choices.
