What was in the mix?

Don't really know. I went over to get a rack at one point and saw the lammers they use (dozens of them) in a bucket and just peeked at them. The only one I vaguely remember was a Badugi / Drawmaha lammer (which I assume was somehow split pot between them, but maybe it was rotating somehow). I think I saw a pineapple one as well. Seemed to include all the usual and some unusual games.

Better off just ignoring me and waiting for someone who actually knows though heh.

Thanks for the report, glad you got some play in.

Was I the one you were hoping to randomly show up?

haha no, I just thought maybe someone would show up in the late evening on a fri or sat night. basically no new players after 8 or 9pm.

though of course you know i'd love the chance to grab another beer with you!

Imagine that there's interest in small stakes plo in Phoenix.

They get a game a few times a week on the west side at Desert Diamond. Played it twice.

Ya I go over there when I can but it's a bit of a hike, 50min ish drive without traffic. Lone buttes like 20min, game ran into the night and was extremely good. They said it's going to be a regular game so Im optimistic.

Please PM location so I can sit on your left and buy you beers.

You don’t play poker

It’s crazy that that what normally would be an entry level high stakes mix game in the 20 has such a bizarre fixed rotation. Four games I’ve never heard of or played in my life. When I played this weekend it turns out the Super Stud also just added a pat hand rule, you can declare yourself pat at the beginning of the hand and get first action on all streets. Dealers were adjusting on the fly.

To the credit of room management they also are spreading 8-16 and 6-12 mix games. Not sure what games are in their rotations but they are the entry level mix games which should keep the pool of mix players more robust. Good news.

No sign of Pope, though I didn’t check out every bar stool at the bar, or the floor under them.

Room is huge. Service was still good. Fun time despite not knowing what I was doing.

Hi DC, you weren't by any chance known as DesertRat on other forums in the '04-07 timeframe? If so I think we played together a couple of times when I visited AZ.

I don't get this. Why would you want to declare yourself pat? Why would you want first action on every street? It's generally considered better to have last action, right? Could you explain this in more detail please? Thanks!
