But, the game is 7.50/15.00. If you cannot do a true 1/2 kill (which you can't), then IMHO,the only correct way to kill it is full.

Then again, the PCH game really doesn't need much action stimulation

Here's a thought, Stan. How about you take the lead with the CCC to get the straddle allowed! That would apply to all the games equally.

As of now the straddle is not allowed. Look, it's your game, not mine. I am just a referee. My only thought when it comes to a full kill on the PC 08 is that we are trying to grow Omaha H/L. We need to bring in new faces to keep the games strong. A passer-by might jump into the PC 08 because it doesn't look too expensive. The betting spread on a full kill game would be huge $7.50 to $120. For a guy sitting with $200 in chips it wouldn't last very long. Now you only have the regs in the game.

I would like to see a regular 15-30 Omaha H/L. to go along with the PC08. It would be nice to have a stepping stone from the PC08.

I was in the PC O8 last Sat....met Stan....good times.

I am def in favor of keeping it a 7.50 - 15 game. I mean, if you want higher stakes or want the game to play bigger, play 15-30. There is one going today. Why get a seat in the PCO8 then talk everybody into playing bigger? I just saw a report from Stan saying a 15-30 game is running.

The PC games are so young and seem pretty successful. The adding of a kill isn't refining a new game, it's completely changing it. I would not sit in a kill game. The game played big enough last Sat and I loved it.

Obv majority rules though....if it becomes a kill game, I'll try the PC-S8 game (until it changes) or go back to 1-2 & 2-5 NLHE

Change isn't always good...

Am I crazy, or does there seem to be a lot more high-stakes action than usual at the Borgata this weekend? I don't think I've ever been there when a $800-$1600 game was going. What gives?

Agreed. I was not advocating the kill - just suggesting that if was put in place, it would be more logical for it to be a full kill. None of the PC games need a kill. They are just fine the way they are. Like I said, there is enough action the way it is now.

As for 15/30 - I'd like to see that limit for HE. I know the 20 players would poo-poo it, but I think the 15 game is a great structure.

How difficult would it be to petition for the straddle? And, what are the chances that it could be allowed?

I have a lot of stuff that I am currently working on. That's about all I can say at this time.

Stan

Free parking for poker players?

Placing a bet in the sports book gets you that.

I'm just saying....

I'm fine with 7.50/15 no kill. And I can deal with a 1/3rd kill though it wouldn't be my preference. Full kill, no. And as you pointed out the higher players have the 2-way and 15/30 game already.

The only reason I brought it up was that when it was going Wednesday there was some bellyaching about it not being a kill.

I have a question regarding comp dollars.

I clocked like 54 hours in from 1 June but there's no comp dollars credited. I receiving free mon-thu rooms and poker rate rooms allright but should poker play generate comp dollars or not? Really do not know whom to address this issue in real poker room.

Did you clock out? If not your 54 hours earned you $0.00.

I don't think you can see poker credits on the web page... just ask the floor to swipe your card and tell you what your balance is. I'm not sure you can see them in the kiosks, either.

Yes, you can. They won't show up as "points" towards a black card, but there is an accurate count of your comp dollars online (or in any slot machine).

Aha! I stand corrected. I just looked on the site and my $$$'s are there.

I guess the OP didn't clock out, if he doesn't see his balance.

I have not been on the web sire in forever... was this function always there? I don't remember seeing it.

Still a full table with a list.

there was a 15/30 omaha8 game? How was this game? I will always root for more non-HE games. I like the direction we're going.

unfortunately it didnt last very long, maybe two hours? but its a start.

game report please....

Is the public wifi available throughout the building? I'm going down tonight and have a fantasy football draft at 9. Could I just in the poker room on the couches and do it from there?
