the monthly flier has it as satellites every day at 11am and 7pm

Thank you!

Thanks

do you know if you are in the money before before the end of the day ones ??

Not if it's the same structure as last year

State Championship 9am start time is silly, right?

No, usually takes 1-2 hours into day 2 until you're in the money

Very silly, but they want to free up the tables for cash games before the evening.

What is the NLHE traffic like in the mornings during the week? Any idea of how many games are running from 10-11am during the week?

Usually one or two 3-5, and two or three 2-3, and both increase late morning/early afternoon

Do not have no limit. Spread limit 1-2 3-5

Oops, meant 1-2.

I just dont see enough of a draw ,at least from local player base. 58(08) players just isn't enough players let alone for an OE (somewhat limited player base), or a HORSE(SUPER limited player base), to warrant depleting staff leading up to such a huge event. LHE may be worthwhile.

To many are concentrating on the state event and the single table leading up to it that's where the money is going. Players coming in from out of state aren't as likely to come in early for those events, and if some do and the events were small, well then those events implode. hard to say, but i think focusing on getting those types of events placed through out the year would be more beneficial, let then be draws in their own right.

Run a LHE tourney as a $1K-2K and it might still have a small field but make it more worthwhile rake-wise for the cardroom. And the buy-in size might draw others who might not have been interested otherwise.

Maryland Live just ran a $3K LHE event with 16 total players (12 uniques, 4 re-entries) and the cardroom raked $3840 for a <12 hour tournament using 2 tables only for some of it. At $1500 buy-in, going to be comparable to a cash game at the $7/half hour rake per table, better with re-entries.

The last time we had a 1k deuce tourney here it probably got 20-30 runners which isn't bad and bad little advertising. I think limit holdem tourneys would do well and would love to see them but it's tough to find the right spot.

I would love to see a 2-3k limit tourney and it would go but the field would likely be very very tough. It would probably have to have a buy in around 3-500 which would get s lot of runners and be super soft but now it's to small and not worth it to play he tourney rather than cash

Is HORSE spread here at all? I'll be in AZ for a week on a trip and I checked their website and can't find anything showing what games are spread. I'm probably just blind.

No HORSE. There is 20-40 and 8-16 OE. The 8-16 is a bit shaky weekdays but sometimes 2 games on Saturday.

The likely game you will see it just a "mix" game, HORSE is to boring, usually at 40/80 sometimes at 75/150.
There is a 20/40 OE game that runs daily.

Ill defer to one of the reg players list the "normal" game lineup...I posed a question at one of the games the other day...How many buttons( unique games) are there?

No one knew.

When i can ill get a comprehensive list.

Thanks for the quick responses!

MDL get 6/12 horse from time to time. I would like to try and maybe see about getting the same going when I'm in, or 8/16. I'll def be up for 8/16 tho as well.

Thanks again!!

Pretty certain this is the list, did not verify it against the contents of the button box tho.

Holdem (also a "Hi" button often used for Holdem)
"Spread limit" (that's all the button says)
Omaha hi
O8
Stud
Stud 8
Stud hi low (this is the no qualifier button)
Super stud 8 (separate button, there's no super stud hi low reg button but it's a permitted game)
Studdugi
Razz
2-7 razz
Any any triple draw
Triple draw8 better
Archie
2-7
A-5
Badugi
Badeucy
Badacey
Super razzdacey
Super razzdeucy
BigO (I think there is also a bigO high button?)
Single draw (button does not specify 2-7 or a-5)
Double draw (again button doesn't not specify)
Pineapple
and a "player says" button (for a specific guy that likes a super random mix, sits on top of the pile)

It's pretty unlikely that they'll let you start a HORSE game that small. Iirc they have a pretty strict rule against "mixed" games at raked stakes.

There is a crazy pineapple button too I believe.

The LHE, O8 etc tournament used to be standard in the prelim events, no reason why it couldn't work again.

Heres the tentative list i came up with after going through the "box of buttons" when i had a few minutes last night.

Big O
Big O/8

Ante based:
7 Card Stud
7 Card Stud/8

Razz Ducey
Super Razz Ducey
Razz Dacey
Super Razz Dacey
Studugi
Archie (9's or better for High 8 or better for Low)

I'm so jelly you guys have draw games. Maryland is pretty staunch about not having them.
