6/12 Stud h/l once or twice a week (usually on Sunday morning for sure)
3/6 Stud when the oldest people are around
2/3 Spread Limit (Max bet $300)

The above games are all raked.

The time games are:
20/40 Hold'em
40/80 Hold'em
Mix Games at whatever limit they spread them at
5/10 Spread Limit (Max bet $500)

Does this help?

How do y'all do stud games live? I'm used to playing online where its a simple matter to scan the whole table to see what everyone's upcards are... but live, if I'm in the 2 seat how can I possibly see the the 8 seat's cards? I am so used to holdem where you have no opponent up cards to keep track of... is there a lot of standing up to look around the table at stud? I don't wanna be that goofball who wears glasses and still can't see wat's going on and slows the game down...
P.S. Are they 6-handed tables? That would help a lot, again I'm used to full ring holdem.

I'm prob gonna get myself in trouble again (what else is new?) But let me see if I can do this somehow without breaking a stupid forum rule about using names...

Do you know the Tournament Director who wears the nice suits and has whitish hair? I noticed that he looks an awful lot like the coach of the Atlanta Falcons, and of course they do have the same last name... are they brothers perhaps? Just been wondering, if I cash in the tourney tonite I'll ask him myself.

The 3/6 Stud game almost never goes anymore that I've seen. A couple years ago it went on a daily basis but I've only seen it maybe once in the last year. The last couple months I've been playing mostly at Gila River though so maybe it's had a rebirth.

The 6/12 holdem game also hardly ever seems to go.

For anyone that's interested, please apply in person to HB since I'm putting him in charge of coach selection.

Too bad I left AZ in Oct.

I realize I'm imposing on Howard, but what are friends for if you can't take advantage of them? Besides, I'll be reciprocating because the wife intends to hang out at the slots with Howard's Mom.

I, for one, would be pleased to make your acquaintance and would consider it a privilege to do so. Perhaps you could even find the time to join us for a drink or three.

That's just what I need- another distraction while I'm hemorrhaging chips.

Y'all tell 'em I was comin' or what?

Print it out and take it with you to the table. They don't mind.

I would recommend having her sit in last position so the other players don't have to wait for her to read the card. That is what I do.

It also gives you more time to count cards.

That's the WORST position to have her sit in. It's considered the "anchor" position and often decides for the entire table whether or not the dealer will bust. I don't recommend that seat unless she doesn't mind being screamed at by other players at the table.
