Just don't drop to 2/4, you won't respect yourself in the morning.

I was at a 1/2NL game last night friday at around 7pmish, it was quiet since the storm was bad out. Anyways I was the table and an older gentleman was racking his chips ($400 or so) and was dealt cards, he peeked and raised it up $100 another player went all in for about the same of about $450. The older guy looked down and thinked real hard before calling. He had pocket kings the other gentleman ACES. Well we all know how this ended, with the flop bringing a king and the old guy erupts and after winning the hand does some stupid dance and carry's on like he just won the lotto. Everyone was looking at this fool, and all I could think is " Did $450 really effect your life that much?" What a fool, and celebrating a silly bad beat win.

You had the aces huh....??

any chance of a game report?

Insanity. Full room. I know that doesn't help, but it's a little color to go with the report. Come join my 2/5 table. I'm demolishing it next to a guy who looks like Stephen Baldwin.

room was absolutely packed tonight with great action...good time i had.

Mega-sadness that the PCHE game never got started last night. I was there when they called it down short around 5PM... but, it didn't go. I stayed in the 3-6 game and made about $80 (yawn) - then finally moved to 10-20 later and booked a very nice win. All in all a good trip and the room was overflowing.

I saw a couple ARGEers, one who I haven't seen in a long time. It was good to see him doing well, since he had some serious health problems a few years back. That was a nice surprise.

I can't understand why the PCHE game can't get going. I was so happy when Stan started spreading that limit and initially it was rocking and rolling almost every weekend. Now... nada!

Maybe it the fact that we had 5 10-20 LHE games. Still, when you have 7 names on the list and you can't get the game starting sucks. Why can't we get people to start short to get the game going? if four people would start the game, people will see it and join in.

Update please Stan, on my way down will be there in one hour

I'm always willing to start short... but some folks just will not play without 7-8 people. That does suck. I don't know what we can do to convince them that once it goes, it will fill up.

Maybe start the game with no rake for the first 2 hours? Advertise that if the game starts with 5 or less, there will be no rake for 2 hours - even if it fills up and it may just get some interest. Or maybe also take away the BBJ. I know I hate to pay the BBJ drop, but I deal with it. Others don't and that's partly why they will go play 10/20.

It's always busy on the holidays and weekends, but 83 live games on a Saturday night in November....WOW!

First of all, taking away the BBJ will only cause more players to stay away. It's a very rare player who doesn't want to be at an eligible table this low.

I think starting with no rake would work, but it's probably not worth it for the room as a whole when things are busy. Why not just put another 1-2 game there and get the full rake?

Theories as to why teh room was extra packed?

500,000k tournament starting today could be the reason

also, the weather was absolutely miserable on friday night and yesterday, so im sure people who had outside plans opted to go down to AC for the night. just a thought.

Well, the vast majority of players that play for the BBJ are rocks & nits. Typically, these rocks & nits don't play pink (or higher) anyway. Those that do are just dead seats, sitting there (like at 2-4 & 3-6,reading the racing form) taking up space. Eliminating the BBJ off will potentially attract 10-20 players, who would rather play a raked game vs. a time game. Keeping the dead seats away, combined with attracting players that don't want to pay time could help considerably.

I agree, that if maximizing profit is the only goal, another 1-2 game would do that. Providing more options and a varied game selection is the reason why promoting the PCHE game is important. Over the long run, that will be profitable to the room.

Regarding the BBJ in general.. this makes unbeatable games (2-4, 3-6) even MORE unbeatable. How can you possibly beat a game that is taking $6 from every pot ($4 rake, $1 BBJ drop, $1 toke)???? I understand why the BBJ is there. It's marketing and and a carrot to get fish in the room. To the a serious poker player, it's larceny. Why do you think that it doesn't happen at 10-20 and up?

The PCG is on the dividing line. The game can be beat, even with the BBJ drop - barely. Without it, the rake is reduced by 20%, from $5 to $4. If you're dragging a more than a couple pots each hour, this adds up quickly.

is there any omaha 8/0 or better that run conssitently stan that is not at the level of 150-300 maybe 5-10 or 10-20 or a pot limit 5-10?

Stan- will the Friday noon-time tournament be a go for Friday the 27th?
