Go to Vegas in August sometime for some HOF b.o.

I've had to rack up and leave good games because of newly arrived offenders.

about the bo thing its nothing about canterbury, its just anyplace that have 24 hour gambling. people get tweeked and stay there for a day or two chug coffee like its oxygen, pound beers, sweat etc etc.

if it bothers you just buy a pack of orbit gum or something theres not much else you can do.

on another note is there a list of games CB will play? like could we get a low limit horse game? what about triple draw or badugi? i think i heard somewhere draw is illegal is that true?

No chance.

I would LOVE to play horse at 4/8 or above.

Is it possible for a winning player to beat the 6/12 game with a 5 dollar rake and a jackpot drop at canterbury?

yeah , but i would continually take shots at 8/16 and 15/30 whenever possible.

is there anyway CB would offer even low limit spread like 2-10 or something?

I highly doubt it.

From what has been explained to me, bad players cannot possibly win in spread limit games, and CP fears that this will kill action in the room. LHE keeps them comming back...

How are things looking in the fall classic?

^^^It's going pretty well, IMO. It kinda stunk that the FC event #1 ($300 NLHE) ran on the same day as RA's main event... I think that hurt the turn-out a little bit... not that that really matters as I was crippled by quads within the first 10 minutes.

Also, both events I have played thus far have turned into all-in fests pretty quickly (300-600 blinds) which I don't understand. Even in the $45 super-turbos it seems like people are more reluctant to shove at that point.

I was chatting up a friend who said he was by CBP a few weeks ago and it was I who said he should go if he's looking for something betwen 5/10 and 15/30 limit hold'em. He was watching a hand go down and it was capped on the turn. On the river, the guy first to act leads out almost as the dealer turns the river card. After tanking, his opponent folds. Guy first to act turns over one card. Dealer takes his cards and then flips the other one up and says, "Regardless if the cards go to the showdown, you show both cards all day long." While I had played at CBP 2 yrs ago, I had never heard of this house rule. I thought it was interesting. Wondered what this board thinks about this rule.

CP has a rule that is "show one show all" usually this is meant to mean show one person show all the people, but they have extended it to if you show one card you show both, now typically another player has to request to see the other card before its flipped over by the dealer, and this may be the case here that another player requested to see both. Obv had the player not shown one card the dealer would not have flipped them over.

^^^ What he said, players can request but the dealer should never automatically do it. Just turbo muck the other card though, case closed.

My friend said IWTSTH was not invoked on that hand and the dealer flipped the other card by himself, the table also did not voice any objection.

How often does Canterbury generally get the Survival Tournaments going during the week? Played a few of them yesterday and enjoyed the format, but was disappointed by the lack of interest in them. (why play LHE when you can hardly beat the rake, when you can play NL...)

That makes little sense, at least if we're still in the late 200x's world of non-MN players where NLHE was considered viable. Of course it's all a question of degree: "bad players cannot possibly win" in any raked poker game in the long run, and viable is whatever you have the player base to support.

They maintain interest lists in a manner similar to the regular limit games. However, I just wonder how much this is affected by the 2-60 game across town.....

Any one win anything from the 12 days o Christmas Giveaway?

Went on the first night and got nothing, But the only prizes i saw any one win was a $50 gift card.

Saw the sound system go and some cameras.

Buddy of mine won a 360 with Kinect

One of the poker dealers was on Jeopardy today - I know the result (it was just on channel 11), but won't post it right now.

thats pretty shocking as every dealer ive ever encountered seems to be a complete moron. more so at the other card club but hey good for that person!

You dont go the U of M do you Gopher?

am i wrong? dont mean to offend anyone. most of them are nice, but they do throw plastic cards around as a living for a reason, and its not because it pays big bucks
