Yeah, but I interpreted that as a typo, since it's pot limit. But maybe they're gonna try something new?

Besides if you're willing to limp for $2, aren't you willing to do the same for $5? Your likelihood of hitting your hand remains the same and the payoff when you do hit is an order of magnitude higher. Maybe just narrow your preflop range a bit?

I already play rather tight. I am just unhappy I have to double my buyin if I want to play correctly. If we are going to do this, make the buy in ~ 200-1000. I don't want scumbags buying in for 100 and just potting every hand preflop. The previous buyins were 50-250BBs so an increase is in order IMO.

BTW dima, were you playing on Saturday, September 11th? I thought I knew who you were, but now I'm not so sure.

Hi Stan,

I saw the new tournament schedule (effective 9/23/2010). Is this a sign of the Economy and the recent PA Rooms?

1) Sunday 11AM 40 + 10 (2 ReEntry)? Really! Sunday Tournament is 50 bucks, wow!
2) The rest of the week M - Th (except W) 80 + 20? Wow!
3) Saturday AM 150 + 30 Deepstack? WOW!

Even the Friday 170 + 30 for 20K Guranteed is not bad either.

Please convey my thanks to whoever decided this. I am pretty sure you won't keep all the credit to yourself. Please share the same with TAB too.

i played the 1/2 plo on saturday and it was really a 5/5 as they were bringing it in at 5, and counting the small and big as 5 each... I was getting rated for a 1/2 PLO game but playing a 5/5 plo game. I was tired of arguing so i acquiesced. I can't comprehend how the people that want to play that way don't want to sit at a 2/5 or 5/5 game.

Stan (or anyone)

Are there tournaments running during this week of the WPT?

i.e. What if any is taking place Wednesday?

Tomorrow we have a $200 + $30 NL at 12pm and a $100 + $20 NL at 6pm.
The new tournament schedule will start Thursday morning.

I would think the tournament has a lot to do with it.

What do you think, Stan?

I heard strippers too, but then I also heard they are from AC...so I guess it's a wash?

Anyone have any experience getting the poker rate with only one days notice? Trying to make my annual birthday trip and hoping to try and score a last minute room for Thursday.

Even with that, I think the SB/BB should be considered $5 together, not separately, thus once the first guy brings in for $5, the next person (raiser) can only make it $20, not $25.

I believe Stan is going to post that the rules are you can limp for $2, and raise the pot based on the amount in the pot.. I would agree to consider the SB to be $2, not $1... so $1, $2, limp ($2), pot (2+8, total=$10)

Stan will this be the MO of the PLO table?

as for being rated
the game is being raked as a 1/2 game
there is no reason to be rated higher if they arent making more themselves

but if the blinds are treated as 5$ each then arent we essentially playing 5/5? I have no problem if they want to charge time, Ill take the higher rating.
