By request.
Playing 2/5 at Motor City the other night. Table started a little nitty, but was starting to loosen up by this point. Still hadn't seen any big, multiway pots.
I raise to $25 in MP after a weak UTG limper with K
J. Button calls (300-ish behind), BB calls (600 behind), and UTG calls (400 behind). I cover all.
Pot ($100): Flop comes J
9
6. UTG donks $25 (the table had been very donk happy to this point), I raise to $125, button cold calls!!!!, BB cold calls!!!!, UTG calls. At this point, rightly or wrongly I am pretty much done with the hand unless something extreme happens.
Turn ($600): Turn is 9
, checks all the way around.
River ($600): Q, check to button, who shoves for $160, all fold to me, and I decide I have to look him up, due to the pot odds, and the fact that he has to shove the turn with any hand that is ahead of me. I call, and he says "You win."

Brass tacks.
Let's make a decision and move it to Cada's next week. It'll give us a chance to inform the people who do show up. We may need a new organizer. Someone that'll be reliable and won't be annoying when they rally folks.
I don't think the problem is pot limit vs. limit, per se. LO8 rewards people who have some level of sane hand selection, hit their cards...and that's about it. Because PLO8 allows you to bluff on occasion and getting quartered can be serious business, it's much more of a skill game. The real issue was that the table was short handed because we ate all the fish.

Don't be so results oriented. Win at poker and bust at craps like everyone else! I hope you have a great time in Vegas. Should be a good TR.

Pretty accurate report of four aces. We like to call it Mos Eisley poker room. "You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy, we must be cautious"
You'll never run into a 5 dollar rebuy that's taken so seriously. Bracelet events at the WSOP are less tense. Its a weird bizzaro world where 7-10x raises are standard for the first few lvls. Opening pots for 40 percent of their stack pre and folding to an all in...standard. Fists slam into tables after another five dollar buyin goes up into flames. Min cashers proudly announcing their masterstroke of how they never rebought...oh and the begging for chops.
In a goofy way I love to play there 2-3 times a year, its a strange place and does draw people in. Im also a fan of dive bars.

and villain #2 says he has a draw with 36 or something stupid.that was the last time i played that tournament. Mostly because what 1st place pays is half of what you can win at snookers. I don't think anyone has ever read a book. If your hands can hold up i imagine you can win alot. People there look at the game as luck and not skill.
I had one hand where villain varied his raise sizes. $12. $15 and $17 when he had a big hand. This time he made it $12 which i took for weakness. He raised and since everyone likes to see flops they pretty much all call. with 5 people sitting with $12 in the pot i shove $70 to win the pot or get heads up with a Big Ace. Original raiser calls and shows Ac4c.Everyone else folds. I loled inside when dragging the pot. Funny thing is the guy got completely was completely furious with me for shoving there. As if i gave him some sort of a bad beat with his Ac4c.
Only place i felt uncomfortable leaving tho. Also it is kind of weird when randoms ask you for a ride home. I do however like the staff.
