You can buy a special permit to serve alcohol after 2 am in Michigan, also you can sell alcohol until 2 am and not pick it up at 2 am (so people could order 12 beers, and put them in a ice bucket near the table and stay and drink as long as they want).

Bars don't want to stay open after 2 am, because most shifts start at 5-6 pm and end at 2 am for 8 hrs total. They do not want to pay over time, extra insurance, and pay for permits (they are costly and on a per nightly basis).

Now that I think of it, doors open at 9 but officially its 930. Tourney starts at 10am and will max out at 150. I have no idea if they ran it last year so not sure if it sells out.

Chef Poker Stove was not trying to cheat. He was just throwing out armchair QB stuff (between hands) & I thought it affected a couple of noobs adversely.

They only special permits people can get are to sell on Sundays starting at 7am otherwise it's the old law which was noon.

I've read the Michigan liquor handbook a while back and that was clearly stated in it.

got one outted on the river for a huge stack at the stick's tourney tonight w/ about 40 left. aces v. kings...
sick new rule there. no talking about the hand, even if you are heads up. so damn stupid. dealer was literally saying "no talking" to people that were heads up and talking to each other.. meant to complain to the mngmt about it before i left, forgot...

and I believe Taylor Lanes is now officially closed. Momo's has supposedly had a big uptick in traffic because of it...

Taylor is closed? I was just there a week ago. They're in pretty bad shape, so I guess I'm not too surprised.

Holy crap the mgm Plo game is huge. I looked over there today and it was 6 handed. Even though I know a couple guys I wasn't comfortable watching the game but I noticed 3 chip stacks. Everyone had pumpkins. One guy had about 15. Another had maybe 20 and the other had more than 30. I wonder how much the other guys had? Wow, wow, wow

Do you mean you went to work the charity and ended up playing for the charity?

i'll have to try momo's on a monday or thursday sometime. looks like those are the only days that will have any decent $ in the pot. i don't think i could take a $15 tournament seriously.

Yeah. We had enough coverage so I sat down at NL and a RxR that turned full PLO broke out. Anytime one of my charities has an event I always donate 50% of my winnings over the 4 days.

The smaller buy in leads to larger fields and a decent prize pool for the money.

Okay, we have a placeholder to repeat the 8-game at Sunnybrook poker room on Dec. 8 starting at 4:30 pm. We need at least six confirmations to get the game started. I already have one player that is not a 2+2er confirmed so we need four more names to book the game. Any takers? I know there were a few of you that couldn't make it last time so this is your chance. Again, if you're just a NLHE player and want to come out for the free food and free beer you can play in the public 1/2 game they run there.

Let it be known to the 2+2 community that I will be making a trip out to Las Vegas from December 7-10 for the Pacquaio fight. I plan on playing a good amount of Poker, Blackjack, video Poker, and sports betting. A possible trip report to follow. I have a comped room at Ceasars for the weekend and am looking forward to staying there as it has a very nice poker room and sports book. I plan on playing the $225 20k guaranteed on Sunday at Casears, but that will be probably to the only tourney I play due to the time commitment.

Best of luck to me.
