I know a couple times several months ago, Stan was willing to put a 5/10 LHE game back in the high-limit room during the week if we could get it going.

PLO went well tonight, ran good. Realized I've been playing with esch like every time I've played 1/2 PLO.

I thought of something while clocking out. Since 1/2 PLO has buyins of 100-500, Borgata feels the game plays like 2/5 NLHE. Therefore, the comp dollars should be raised accordingly. $2/hr would be nice, although $1.50 would be nice as well.

whats the rake- if its the same as 1.2 nl then you shouldnt

btw what is the obsession with people playing 5/10 nl for the sake of playing 5/10 nl

i think if there was no high limit area half the crappy break even regs who play 5/10 all day every day, they wouldnt be playing 5/10
its like theyre legitimatly proud of playing in the high limit area which as far as i saw just meant you can get red bull and different brands of bottle water

ive even heard regs rip other regs for playing 2/5 while waiting to be called for 5/10 like its something to be ashamed of

would also be nice if people could actually play 4 or 5 handed to get plo started- even if youre scared to play short handed the games will fill but they have to get started

Ahh Poker players and their ego's...

But really the jump between a 200 BB game like 5/10NL and a 100 BB game (if people are even buying in for the max...) at a 2/5NL game is quite big.

Even if it is still just an ego thing

true, but most either buy in for 1k or will never put more than 300 dollars in the pot

On a separate note, are you coming Friday Night? I'm hoping to get PLO off the ground.

Two PLO games ago, I asked the floor manager (Peg) behind the tournament desk to open up even though there were five names. She happily did and the table swelled up over time. The game started heads-up and got up to 8 players.

One PLO game ago, I answered 2+2 question about the room activity and PLO list while waiting, and Stan (from his house) got a hint and called the tourney desk and open up. It started three-way and got up to a full ten players in 90 minutes.

Preferably if there's four or five people on the list, just kindly ask the people on the desk.

Hey I think we played together. I was the guy in the don't ruffle my feathers hat. You got me pretty good with those 2 sets.

My thoughts, exactly.
Obviously, brilliant minds think alike.

sorry if my first post wasnt clear
its not the floors fault its the players
theyll be 7 or 8 on the list, then 4 of 5 show up and nobody else wants to play short handed

personally i love playing short handed, but even for those who dont, they dont realize that if the game starts with 4 or 5 it will fill up quickly

this happened 4 times in the last 3 days, twice with 2/5 and twice with 5/10

Deep Stack Turbo Aug.15 - starting chips 25000 and the structure looks good - what will be approx turnout ?

Yea man, it's hard to fold Aces in PLO at any point. Sick cooler my man.

It was good playing with you, someone who actually folds once in a while pre instead of spewing 2-12 dollars every hand.

Spicy, I will possibly be there on Friday if my friend comes down. I have a appointment for cable/internet setup with Verizon on Saturday 8am-12pm sometime in that range so I probably will not be down if he does not go.

Edit: I live in central NJ now and it is a 2 hour drive one way after a work day where I get up around 8am so in general going on any Friday is a bad idea.

Do you take Route 18 into the Parkway? If so, having traveled that same route last Tuesday for my last-minute stay and just imagining a shore traffic on a Friday or weekend...OUCH.

But yes, we'll see!

Game report possible?

i take this route every time.. going on a weekend morning is not bad.. it takes me about 2 hrs.. but coming back the last 10 or 12 miles till exit 105 is so bad with traffic during summer

woulda a plo8 game ever run you think?

For the 5/10 NLHE'ers, while I understand the min/max buy-ins ($500-$2K), I would like to know what the players have been buying in with on average when they first sit.

id say 10 pct 500, and about an even split bw 1k and 2k and 1500

Thanks! Interesting to know. While I'm still building a serious bankroll on FT (in which I have a much, much, much long way to go before I could "graduate" and withdraw to live-play and grind ;-)), I wouldn't mind trying to play one buy-in game and have fun with it.

In the mean time, can't wait for PLO!

Be careful what you wish for. I was there yesterday, and there was one player at the table we were all salivating over. This was a guy who would call ANY raise preflop with any 4. Sadly, he got lucky every single time (especially against me) until I left in frustration. Between the beatings I took at 2/5 and 1/2 PLO, I had the worst one day session I've ever had at the B.

Cases in point: in one hand, 2 players had raised pot before he attempted to isolate by repotting pre to over $150. His hand? J642 rainbow. I am not kidding. He proceeded to catch 2 jacks on the flop.

In another hand, he raised a limped pot to $10 from the cutoff. The small blind, who had only $40, reraised to $20. I look down at AdAc5d5c in the big blind and repot to $98. Maniac of course calls. Flop comes 742 rainbow. i shove for my remaining $200. He tanks, then calls. His hand? QQ94 rainbow. He then hits 2 of his 4 outs for a boat. Aaaaargh.

There was, IMO, only one other good player at the table at that point. I hope he was finally able to stack that monkey...

wow oyure seriously complaining about someone this bad and rooting for a good player to stack him
thats brillaint

I'm heading out to the borg Next week Monday to Thursday, and will try to get in some 2/4 and 3/6 Limit Hold Them and some 1/2 Unlimited Hold Them, PLO, and maybe a $100+$20 MTT or 3, If I can manage not to degen gambool all my money away on the casino floor. You regs have a secret handshake or anything?

If your shot taking, without a proper bankroll for 5/10 (should ideally be $50K+)

Buy in for the $1k to 1.5K range. So you have enough for post flop play, but not so little that you have to take all suited connectors and small PP out of your play.

I remember when I first started taking shots at 5/10 I would buy in for $1K in green and $200 in red.

I would use the red at first to splash around a little, be able to call out of position with small PP and small SC's etc, but not use the reds for any big bets post flow. And if I found that I had lost all of my reds I was not playing aggressive enough preflop, and too loose pre as well.

I would have liked to stay and play against him but had to leave. If you don't understand my frustration with that situation, then whatever.

The monkey himself will not be reading this.

And yes, I was rooting for the good player to get those chips. Had you been at the table, you'd understand and wouldn't have fired off a 'you're-a-moron-don't-tap-on-the-glass' post. But thanks for your contribution.

unless the other player was your boyfriend you root for the idiot no matter how much of a duechbag
