I'll be there for this series as well.... best of luck to us both!

If you guys would make this game 8 or better it would result in more players and much more action.

The 1/2 Big O plays almost just as big, no jackpot taken, but people just assume it's the same waiting for death to hit old man game as the 4/8 o8 limit, which it most certainly isn't.

I really miss the St Johns room. Old white guys with money.

Here's a typical 2/2 experience at the Regency room.:




Does anyone have........

Not sure how to describe politely.

Gangstas in their cardrooms? Not Mugsy or Capone types, but like guys from rap videos? And not the maybach champagne rap types, but the jersey, bad tattoos, extras from the movie Boyz N the Hood type gangstas?

The dialog is amazing.

All 3 guys sit down. How much you coming in for?

"40!"
"We doin' 40!"
"Me too, 40!"
"We want $40!"

Like a full minute of different variations of yelling $40.

And then during the game, random nuggets like.

Calls one of his homie's all ins with J2. Homie starts berating him. Best defense ever.

"I WAS TRYIN TO BLOW UP OR THROWUP! BLOWUP OR THROWUP!"

Multiple all in time?

"Grab yo nutz! Time to grab yo nutz!"

"WHo got some nutz! Grab yo nutz!"

Navy kid is owning one particular gangsta $40 at a time all night. Finally folds to gangsta no 2 in a small limped pot. Gangsta no 2 goes on a tirade including descriptions of spousal abuse.

"Yeah, you cowering now! You cowering! Just go on put your head down and don't look. Cower in the corner. Just like my wife do when she ****ed up. You cowering!".

navy kid = "Nice hand."

"Naw, no nice hand, you cowering now!".

Yeah, I pretty much experience this same thing, but at 2/5. Actually, when I go to BestBet now, I generally play 5/5 PLO if it's running. If not, I play 2/5 and drink.

Most anyone who plays poker has an ego. These type of guys just have a different way of expressing it. They're totally clueless as to what they're doing, of course, but almost always harmless.

I played 2/2 there against a hybrid gangsta/dork one time who was actually pretty smart but just wouldn't shut up. Finally, when his stack got down to $35, which he loudly announced before shipping all in, I called, busted him, and tipped the dealer his stack. He sort of lost his mind. The rest of the table congratulated me.

Pretty much sums it up, i've more or less self banned myself from anything less than 5/10 because I straight up can't tolerate those folks.

Are going to play in the MSPT series?

Doubtful, work obligations have been swamping me lately.

Silly real world.

I expect to be wandering in around 6 or so next Friday. I'm assuming there will be choices besides 2/5? Chances of PLO seats being open?

Playing 1a tommorow and 1b if needed followed by 2/5 or some form of Omaha if I bust before dinner.

I am going to try to play on Saturday (1c) if the wife lets me out of the house. Will also be playing Event #5 and #6.

Good luck to us! and rungoods...

Looking to buy a discounted seat to Event #1, PM me with details, playing Day 1C on Saturday.

You best bet is to be there from 9-10 tonight or the hour they are doing it in the morning i think 10-11; once you buy a ticket once you can't resell it so there is going to be anyone holding tickets

How many players have entered Event 1 so far?

any overlay on this? =) ..........see ya hoodlums in a few!

WPT Deepstacks starts next month, who's going?

Bump

We have a group from SC coming down this weekend. Mainly playing cash but may get in some satellites as well. How's the 5/5 PLO game been lately?

PLO runs most every night and for sure on the weekends where there are sometimes more than one game and a 1-2 PLO. Its not exactly the softest game in the room as there are several full time pros that are well rolled and only play that game and they have beaten up on most of the regs. Nonetheless there are always new players taking a shot and a few game building regs that keep it going so the game can be good with the right mix.

I've been down here since Thursday, playing tomorrow for at least 10 or so hours.

Did BestBet increase the rake within the last year or so?

I will definitely be there tomorrow for mega high hand. You'll probably find me at 5/5 NL if it runs and is good, 2/5 NL otherwise

Two 5/5 NL going right now

I see that, I haven't seen that any time I've been here. Only come 3ish times a year fwiw. I'm at the bar eating right now, hopping in to 2/5 later.

Yeah super busy today due to the 30 minute high hand promos. So far a straight flush has won each half hour I think. Wish I could sit at this table all night! Had a few seats where they were all in or folding. Good luck to those of you who are here tonight.
