2/2 is $200-$500 with a 10% rake up to $6 per pot

5/5 is $500 - $2k with a timed rake of $8 per dealer down (half hour).

With the timed rake you also get a few extra features, ie you can opt to run it twice when all in heads up... and they allow must-move tables which they don't at 2/2.

I never play timed rake games — does it just get collected from each player when the dealer sits down? Some places randomly pick one player to pay all of it, don’t they?

I'm unaware of any room that REQUIRES drawing to see who pays the rake. I think it is just something the table agrees to do. House wouldn't care since they're getting their rake one way or another.

Thanks

Foxwoods 5/10, whoever won the first hand of the down generally paid the rake for the table but it’s all table dependent. Most places everyone pays their own time

Just curious, would this still apply if you take it down pre?

Really? I played that game every week for years until it died in 2017ish and I don’t recall this ever happening. Nobody does a time pot in big bet games anyway since the blinds are so small that if it’s a raise and take it there won’t be enough, that’s more of a limit thing at 75/150 and higher where you already have the sufficient amount for a full table’s time in the blinds themselves.

I think what sdfsgf is thinking of is time flop which is each seat being assigned a card 1-9 (with 1 being an Ace) and whichever card is on the leftmost side of the first flop is the seat that pays for everyone. Problem with this is you need a gentleman’s agreement because it’s so easy for someone to say “Oh I was about to leave anyway” or sometimes everyone but one or two people miss what the card was with conflicting memories. Not really an east coast thing though (I think I saw it happen maybe like twice a year in the foxwoods 5/10, definitely not the standard protocol). The Rio in Vegas during the WSOP is the one major place where it was assumed by the dealers and staff that everyone was doing a time flop.

Lately bomb pots have been more popular for collecting time anyway, impossible to angleshoot it/have controversy and is a way to juice up the action at the start of every new half.

When I played HH at Foxwoods it was a royal flush every 2 seconds but here it seemed more calm. There is no way Foxwoods was rigged right?

You had many Stud and Limit games included in the HH promo at Foxwoods which led to the higher amount of Royals and Str8 Flushes. Sorry to rain on your conspiracy parade.

I totally remember playing in the Foxwoods 5/10 games doing time pots. If the pot was over $250 winner would pay half the time. If the pot was over $500 winner would pay the full time pot. Went for many years this way. This was easily 10+ years ago though, probably even well before that. I also preferred this method.

Executive producer at Whdh tweeted this.... interesting.

I heard customers will be able to choose between having their temperature taken orally or rectally... I'm guessing people I see in the poker room will choose the rectal option... it'll be the closest they've come to getting laid in a long time!!!


On a more serious note: They are allegedly going to be changing out or cleaning all chips and cards every 4hrs... if true this will surely be a pain in the a$$ for poker games! Can you imagine them stopping the game to clean everyone's stack at the table and switching out the cards?

this is the old way which i havent seen in years which is terrible and unfair.

the newer way of doing it is the first card out is the seat that pays the time. if nobody is in that seat or it's a face card you go to the next seat.

lmao

This is the first step. Second step is shutting the buffet down and the final step is to completely shut down if the spread rates are not controlled. This week looks far different than last week and next week will look much different than this week due to this virus.

Yes. This is it. And yes, I’m old so 8-10 years ago is when I played it on occasion.

Just like a casino... run too hot, and they eject you....

High hands and tournaments suspended

Can't blame them for suspending things. Let's all be safe and hope poker comes back soon!

Only the most degen of degens are going to be playing these days.

Last night a guy was constantly coughing without covering his mouth sitting next to me. I changed tables pretty quickly.

17 tables of degens there right now.

RIP surfacegnome

I did see Aces full of Kings get through once at Foxwoods. At like, 12:30AM on a Wednesday.
