In his defense, he was with his girlfriend and they wanted to play together at the same table. This was also months ago.

Not sure if i am going tomorrow and if i do would be there around 6:00.

Would love to play plo high or o8 with you again. If the game isn't going all what we need to do is find the right floor person that will call it for us.

The problem with high only is we'd have a hard time getting it called if a plo8 game is already running. Actually, as floor that was dealing late Wednesday night pointed out, they won't call a similar blind structure game to one that is already running. So a running 1-2 plo8 game would generally rule out a 1-2 plo high only game getting called, but they would call a 2-5 plo high.

I guess that is why sometimes if they have equal size list for plo8 and plo once one game starts they rediculoulsy wipe out the other. The don't want to recognize how different plo is from plo8.

It became an issue a few months back when the limit game was switching over to 5-10 full kill from the 4-8 half kill. there was a race to get one going first so the other wouldn't later get called

Hi James. You always seem nice in the stories people tell.

Your 9-11 story is one of the most insane things ever.

Does anyone have info on how regular any of the following games run?:

HORSE (over 10-20)

any other variety of HORSE games (HOSE or HOE etc) over 10-20

Stud8 (over 10-20)

LHE (over 15-30)


Thanks for any info.

Horse rarely runs, you can just about always find 20/40 limit going... the other games I'm not sure about

Horse is rare but can get going. Mostly during tournament weeks and its usually 5-10.

I have never seen stud8 running on its own, just part of a mixed game

Mixed Games (HOE, OE etc) can get going any night of the week but haven't been daily. Weekends are the best. Usually 20-40 or 75-150+

LHE is always running a 20-40 game and on the weekends and tournament weeks its never uncommon to find a 40-80 game running

Thanks o0ch and drwonoski. Makes good sense that tourney weeks and weekends are more fruitful. Any sense of how live the 20-40 and 40-80 LHE games are (not sure if you play them or know people who do)? How about the big OE?

drwonoski, when you say OE is that strictly omaha eight-or-better, or does that include stud eight-or-better?

yea when the OE game runs its Omaha8 and stud8. 20-40 LHE is always running with a must move or two. You can get a 40-80 game going if there are enough of the 20-40 guys wanting to play - they would be your target to get to run it.

I'm not a limit player but I have heard it's one of the best 20/40's in the country

I could easily be wrong on that though...

Nope, it is

I dont know what you guys are basing your criteria on and not to be argumentative but as someone who has played poker from coast to coast, I can safely say that Foxwoods does not have the best game at any limits.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.

I would assume, just based on the volume of tourists, Vegas would have the best games for any game at all levels.

Caesar's late night games were incredibly easy. Only played $1/$2. But it was noticeably better than even the std 1/2 game at FW.

You are forgiven, I actually broke my curse today and won a 40/60 flip for $2400 and had a 5k day because I am an insufferable bluffbox who never has a hand but can still get people to fold .

Great games today, 3 5/10s were going before noon!

who would disagree with you in a public forum?

I'm basing it only on the players that have randomly ended up at my table on different occasions claiming it to be. But... I have played maybe 4 hands of limit hold em in my life and nothing ever close to 20/40 so like I said I could be completely wrong.

And you would assume wrongly. LV has the nittiest games on the planet for almost everything that isn't 1/2 nl at Bally's.

No one has the best games all the time. FW had great limit games but they'd have to be closely compared to the other states to judge.

Unless the games have done a complete 180 in 3 years this is so wrong. I lived there for 3 years, played stud, NL, limit, ranging from 1/2-5/10. Nitty??? The only nits were the 1/2 locals that played for a living
But then I think that a truly great table is comprised of a mixed bunch. A couple nits, a few maniacs, a noob(or 3), some LAGS. I think that is what makes a great game.

Since 2008? Yes they are quite different. I have not seen any stud in LV of WSOP time. 1/2 nls on my trips are about 50% rock gardens. and then there's LHE where you can get 45 hands per hour.

The last time I was at Foxwoods a month ago I got a 10/20 Stud 8 to run on one of the four days I was there. Most of the people were the same ones I played against in OE the other 3 days.

It's nitty unless you have a good table but It was bad like 4-5 Times when I played.

Could anyone tell me what the PLO is like at foxwoods? What limits do they run daily? The quality of play?

it isn't a game that runs daily. when it does run, its usually either 1/2 hi lo, 1/2 hi, or 2/5 hi. the 1/2 hi lo game is terrible, the 1/2 hi only game is ok, the 2/5 hi only is usually pretty good.

thats good information. must have been during one of the mega stacks?

Not sure what you mean by terrible. 1/2 PLO hi/lo is MUCH softer than your standard 1/2NL or 2/5NL game. The game is beatable if you're competent in PLO. Sure, I'd prefer 2/5 PLO hi or 1/2 PLO hi but hi/lo is still worth it.

Anyone wants to play today find me. If not, I'll find the game when/if it goes.

Ya, I think James is a cool dude.

His 9-11 story is amazing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0lzZvCNkJw
