1-2 PLO generally runs everyday but is a guarantee to run on weekends. 2-5 doesn't run that often and likely only runs at the busiest times as it ran on Black Friday when I was last there. If you look at a few live game reports you can quickly find the general trend.

The 1-2 PLO may "run everyday" but I've been there the last three weekends and despite being a constant #1 or #2 on the list of interest (I basically live for the 1/2 PLO and Omaha PC) and not really sleeping, I only actually got to sit down and play maybe 3 or 4 days out of 11 possible.

There was one day where it went heads-up for a while, then went to 8-handed. But then broke in less than an hour - just as I was about to sit down.

My reality is different from what the live game reports seems to portray.

I would agree with that. I don't believe someone would be so crass that he would state that he and 4 other people collluded and ran over the table.

Partners usually means backers, not playing cohorts.

Still 33k is a hell of a scoop

Apparently I'm too new to the forums to use PM. I'll be there today - I'll come by and say hi.

Out of the last 11 days I posted a 1-2 PLO game twice. I guess i reported correctly.

No, I must, expose, engage in mortal combat, and hopefully counteract the Russian mob this weekend, in order to protect the degens in the poker room and the old folks in my building.

I will post a trip report about this, eventually...

However, Stan has all the good porn sites blocked.

My mistake if you thought I was saying that the reports are in any way inaccurate. One would have to be a little crazy to even suspect that anything would be made up about the reports.

My comment was related to how some people are lead to think and comment that the PLO runs close to every day based on the reports.

My experience has been out of 11 days covering the past three weekends (a mix of Fris, Sats, Suns, Mons, and Tues) I've only had a chance to sit down 3-4 times at 1/2 PLO.

Either games, weekday day time (not including holidays) tend to be a bit nitty/rock gardens

But either during WPT larger tourney times, holidays and Weekends (specifically Friday nights, and All Saturday, and Sunday day) are the best action times in general for any casino

5/10 changes significantly if there are 10/20 or 10/25 games running

I apologize about the PLO game. When I went to Borgata, I have played/seen 1-2 PLO run. I guess that includes a Thursday and Saturday during the summer(obviously busy) and Black Friday Weekend(very busy). I guess during downtime you may only find it on weekends. However, from the day after Christmas to New Year's, I have read the room is very busy and 1-2 PLO will almost certainly run then.

Stan,

I have a question regarding a new game...I know that a live straddle is not permitted in NJ but could you submit for and run a three blind game? So run like a 2/5/10 or 5/10/20 NL game? I think a 2/5/10 game with a 1k cap would be a nice bridge between 2/5 and 5/10 and there's plenty of 2/5 action so it shouldn't pose any threat to that level.

Also, what is the possibility of running an anti game in AC?

Obviously there would have to be interest even if you could. I for one would love to play in a 2/5/10 game.

P.S. I have a terrible cold and am heavily medicated right now so if this post ONLY makes sense to me please accept my apologies.
