Yup that was me, not runnin too good this weekend. O8 made a good run though; with him picking up the slack our team finished 6th in points out of 19 teams. While he battled for the individual prize, gambit and I played the 7:30, once again with me busting first. Had a good time though, was cool to meet those guys, glad they could make it out.

$1.50 beers as far as I could tell. Maybe DeuceFive can confirm.

Wish we could have checked out those other rooms after the long drive. Next time.

I recommend Electric Stick next time you want to come to play out in that area the Sunday 4:00 $55 buyin usually gets 80 to 100 people and their are usually a few cash games going early on then they get more later.

I usually have a prior commitment on Wednesday nights, but either Sevup or Dharzhak in this thread usually setup the Wednesday game.

@Dharzhak, why don't you guys try running the game at Cada's this Wednesday to see how it goes? I will email the couple I was talking about and let them know if you decide to run it.

Jose,

were you playing 2/5 at MCC last night? I was playing and heard "Seat open for Jose at 2/5" and I looked around to see someone matching your avatar but didn't see you.

At my 1/2 table the guy to my direct left was blind betting ~$40 every hand. Slightly annoying but profitable nonetheless.

Michigan officials oppose Lansing casino plans

Quote:

Michigan's governor and attorney general are opposing plans to open a Lansing casino that would be operated by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.

Gov. Rick Snyder and Attorney General Bill Schuette jointly sent a letter to the tribe last week saying they believe the proposed casino would be "inconsistent with state and federal law" and would violate the tribe's gambling compact with the state. The letter said the state would take "whatever steps are necessary" to prevent the casino from opening.

Quick question, What is a typical time rake per 30 min. $6-8?
How about a heads up game?

Anyone going to play hi-lo at Greektown, tomorrow? Last week the game ended at 3pm. I would hate to be playing hi-low when the hold-em jackpot hits.

Is this Patrick that I meet at MCC last week? Was nice meeting you if so, and sorry about coolering you that 68 hand :/ .....think GTC used to do $6-1/2 but not sure about "typical"...if it's a game i'll be playing in i'll say $3

Thats what I rememeber was $6 at GTC.

I am putting together a high stakes Heads up matches and trying to find a fair rake, i was think about $9-1/2, being that its heads up.

Any thoughts?

Pat,

Soaring Eagle's rake used to be $6 per half hour.

Are you trying to figure out a fair rake for the HU matches with Joe?

It's definitely an interesting debate on what is acceptable. On one hand you're paying a dealer ~$10/hr so generating $12 in rake seems like bad business. But given the enigma of Joe's stake in the whole operation, charging upwards of $20 seems highly -EV, especially if the match is 2/5.

On second thought, I guess the allure of playing the WSOP champ can warrant a $19/hr rake but still think that if it's for the 2/5 match it should be slightly cheaper than for the 5/10 matches
