10-20 O.E.

O = Omaha H/L
E = Stud H/L

Stan,

It's just talk on here right now, but what are your thoughts on a 5/10 LHE game with pink chips as an attempt to get a game between 3/6 and 10/20?

It's fine with me. I have tried till I'm sick to get a middle limit game. The truth is that all of these players now play 1-2 and 2-5 nl. Are you at the Borgata right now?

Trust me, I feel your pain too. I get frustrated every time I show up and get on the 7.50/15 list and either it never goes beyond an interest list or ends up being called and 3 people show up.

No, not there right now. Will be there Friday night.

If there is ever a 5-10 game, you have my business. Called the Borg sat. on my way to AC and was told the pink chip game was not going. Any 5-10-6-12-7.5-15 limit game and I am there.

Thanks for the info Stan. Just out of curiosity, why is the BBJP taken out when pot reaches $20 for regular games but at $100 for 6 max games?

Also, why is 2-5 regular a time rake but 3-5 6 max a raked game?

STAN, regarding the BWO; how late does the LATE Registration (if it's even available) stay open for the tournaments this weekend?

I may try and play the Thurs. PLO, Fri HOSE, and/or Sat Omaha-8. But my schedule is kind of tight since I was unable to get a room at the Borgata due to my procrastination.

its raked because the casino figures they can make more money raking a 6max game (more hands per hour) than charging time in this game.

In regards to the BBJ Drop, because you are going to get at least 30-40% more hands in a 6 max table than a regular full ring, it is not fair that there is a BBJ drop at the regular level, because is it fair that your odds are exactly the same to hit, yet why pay out more on the BBJ drop than other comparable tables?

Late Tourney Registration (for regular Tourneys) is one hour after it starts. Though for deeper stacked non regular Tourney's, I think it is within the first three blind levels that you can register in.

You have to compare apples to apples. 6-max, because of the amount of cards dealt (17) in a full game compared to (25) in a 10 handed game, the odds of this game hitting the BBJP is extremely low. To even the playing field, we made the decision to take the $1 at $100. Not to mention the number of hands we will get out per half hour. Any other decision would be the wrong one in my opinion.

Also, why is 2-5 regular a time rake but 3-5 6 max a raked game?
We have approval for both (time and rake) for the 3-5 NL 6-max. The time would be $7 per half hour. Because the game is already short, a time charge could easily kill the game every 30 minutes.

STAN: At what point is registration closed for a BWO tournament that begins Thursday at Noon?

Does it close down at Noon or does it officially close at 1pm (or some other time), allowing for late registration?

Thanks!

Well anybody that is interested, since Stan has given us the OK to attempt and get a 5/10 LHE "pink chip" game going (if the 7.50/15 does not go), I think we can go one of two ways. Someone can attempt to start the game this weekend or next and see what the level of interest is, or we can spend the next couple of weeks spreading the word and make it a advertised scheduled game, like every Saturday 12PM.

I will be more then happy to announce the game in the Harrah's, Tropicana, and Trump Taj threads to let some of the people that play there and look for 4/8 - 7.50/15 LHE games there know that we are attempting this game. I would love to see us keep this game going every weekend, but if we can not, maybe it is something we would have to have monthly, like the first Saturday of every month.

IMO, either way, I believe we have to have a scheduled announced start time so that all players that are interested show up at that time, not 1 or 2 players showing up every other hour trying to get the game going. I believe that is why the regular pink-chip LHE game can not ever get started. A couple players get the list going at 12PM. A few more people show up at 2PM. Around 3PM, you get a full list and call the game, but the people that arrived at 12PM and 2PM gave up and are now playing 3/6 or 1/2. By setting a start time, everyone knows when to show up and you hopefully can get a strong full game going.

Although i appreciate yor enthusiam about starting the game, i do not feel it would be appropriate to announce starting a game on the other AC threads.

I thought about it more after I submitted the post, and you are correct. It would not be right for other rooms to come in this thread and promote their games, so it is only fair.

If you all want to take a shot at running it this weekend, go for it! I will be there Friday night/Saturday, but I have to leave at noon on Saturday to be back home for a work event. Normally I would not make the trip, but I have a comped Water Club room that I can not pass up.

I am planning to be there again February 13 (Saturday of Presidents Day weekend), but I will come the week before if there is a good chance the game gets going.
