Standard Limit (2/4 to 20/40) is capped betting (at 5 bets) unless heads up, in which case you can re-raise your opponent into oblivion.

2-100 Spread Limit is $1/$2 blinds w/ biggest bet limited to $100. Plays somewhat like no-limit.

Single Table Satellite's are timed and you cash out with whatever's in front of you at the end of the timed period. This plays exactly like no-limit and is our way of getting around the MN Poker Laws. These range anywhere from $300 BI to $5k BI. If you bust, you can rebuy any time.

Ok.. The spread 2-100 sounds familiar. That's exactly like in az. They actually raised the limit to 2-300 and 5-500. it always sucked at 2-100. Was just a pissing match until you had the guy all in after multiple max bets

No. I lived there for 5 years. I'm originally from the Detroit area. I know a bunch of players out there though. I'm friends with Kevin O'Donnell, pro poker player... His restaurant in Scottsdale is awesome.. called KO'donnells.

Yes sir. Our casino is near a fairly high crime area so shootings are pretty regular. Also Chief Craig was here for about a year and violent crime was down at that time..before and after him, it was and is a problem.

Gotcha. Yeah.. great bar/restaurant. Wings are really good and the best thing on the menu is the Prime Rib wrap. By far heaven in your mouth.

I'm looking to do a live volume prop bet, anyone interested? I'm thinking somewhere around 120 hours in 30 days at even money.

Cincy? We're talking about Detroit you know. And just because there's rape and pillage there doesn't mean it's running rampant near all casinos.

Sure i could be wrong...I guess. If you have some proof this would be a good time to show your cards.

I guess I'm not too familiar with having to deal with unsafe scenarios at Casino/Card Room. I guess I'll have to temper my expectation a little bit with the move. To be expected I suppose.

It seems a bit light when Phil Laak can do that in single session.

I've never had any issues at any of the casinos, but like any place with late hours and large sums of money, keep your wits about you walking to and from your car. Do not be embarrassed to ask for an escort from security if you have a bad feeling about a situation.

I'm not trying to be disagreeable, I just felt like you were downplaying the crime around the casino here and I have my opinion on it. I don't expect to change your mind, just giving you the facts.

How do you intend to keep track of the hours for verification?

I was thinking of making a dedicated Twitter account and posting with a picture every time I arrive and leave. Or assuming all play is at MGM or GT, I'm sure I could get a printout of all of my hours based on my card being swiped in.

Actually, I'd do both if possible. I'm up for any suggestions to make it as legitimate as I can.

Figure 12-16 hours 2 weekends at min. That's 30 hours we will call it.. plus 15 every week.. that's at least 60 for each week. That's roughly 90 hours right there.... Hmmmmm... that's a lot of poker in 30 days. Plus minus a few days for being out of town.<br />
<br />
Might be something I'm willing to bet on. Is this a 1:1 bet or are there odds here??
