I hope this game is running next time I'm down there. I actually think it will be softer than most 1/2 nlh games!

Fun PLO/nlhe game. Wish nlhe was 2/5 tho. Let's get this game running during the weekend

Switched to 1/2 PLO hi only. Open seats

Considering moving from my lame 1/2 game to the PLO game. Any words for encouragement?

Play it's fun lol jus had around a 2k pot at 1/2

wonder how many we get today for the main , the first even got a good field then these 1k 1500 etc didn't met quite a few in the 600 who said they werre just coming back for the main though

Maybe having a regular 1-2 nlhe/plo mix would be a good way to get new players to plo. Let players see what a good game plo is and how big it plays compared to nlhe.

My only concern would be if it runs before a plo game that the floor would not want to call a straight plo game because it would break the mix game. Would hold 'em players sit 5 or 6 handed and wait for the game to re-fill.

Still think that changing the buyings in plo to 100-500 and making the straddle (WHEN straddled and no mandatory straddle) $5 would help the game. (or at least when the table does decide to make the straddle $5 that one person could not sit in and change what the other 9 players want)

Anyone know who won the six-max event last night ?

AA47. Two of the blind shovers flopped top two on a J9? board but then the board ran out 55.

GOTF, we had the $5 straddle going for a few downs, when we only had asian dealers who just nodded and let us do what we like, then we got a new dealer who called the floor and he called the shift manager, woman, short hair, never smiles, and she nixed it so we had to go back to $4.
Why can't the floor ever agree on anything and be consistent????

It would be nice to know. I hate to say it, but Jedi has been doing a poor job of updating this series.

Foxwoods should hire me. I'd do a much better job. Beats me who won the HOSE, I hope it was the sweet old lady crushing everyone.

Should be a really good turnout tomorrow for the $230 super bounty. 10 am start annoys me, so I'll try my best to get up and get down there.

It starts at 10 and not 11?

Truthfully, the floor is consistant, if asked they would never allow the $5 straddle. Usually it comes about that the table will agree with it, and we will inform players about it as they sit in, if anyone objects, they can/will go to the floor and the floor will make us revert back to $4.

Many times the straddle will come up if we get shorthanded, with 3 players it becomes a button straddle and makes sense for everyone to do it. Even 4 or five handed it picks up the shorthanded action. Once we get closer to a full table, those that had been straddling short will stop it, but it will remain at $5 for anyone that wants to goose the action, until that one person comes and doen not want it any more.

The funny thing is, is that it does help speed up the game a bit, 7 limpers with red chips out on a $4 straddle means change for everyone, $5 just makes it easier, and god forbid someone makes the suggestion of rounding the pot to also speed up the game.

Also comical is when some of the dealer, and floor(s) try to figure out a pot size bet in a bet, raise, re-raise situation when the players at the table can't agree on a number. Not exactly a mensa meeting.

I enjoyed playing the plo/nl mix and again my sincere apologies to boomBaMboom for the inadvertent slowroll =(

Yes that is correct

I have a home game league tonight 10 am is gonna be tough

I've told players in a PLO game in the past, easiest way to go about it especially if another player objects or somehow management was told about it... Just have UTG player raise to 5 blind it takes the option away but also does help speed up the game!

See we should have just asked someone with intelligence.

You have no idea how ridiculous the floor was being about this game last night. The Venetian's, 1/2 PLO game is always $5 to call. Makes things so much easier. Most of the dealers last night could not even calculate the pot. Then the players would all chime in and we'd get 3 different amounts.

How can you check your tier points since the change?

I tried online and at the kiosk and I could only find stats related to the poker black card.

The discussion of the $5 straddle is really beating a dead horse. Accept that it's a $4 straddle. You want a game with a $5 forced bet, then try starting a 1/2/5 PLO game and that would increase the buy in amounts. And also be the first time I've seen a 3 blind game run at FW (see how that goes over).

You need to ask a host. They'll tell you how many qualifying points you have toward the different tiers. You can't look it up on your own anymore.

"You have been selected to receive a complimentary 7-day cruise on Friday, April 27, 2012 in the Grand Ballroom from 6PM - 9PM. Reservations are required."

Wait what? Is that a joke?

I'll second that. I keep checking the website to see if she won. I was at her table, 5 seat, busted just before the dinner break. We're you at my table?

UPDATE**** - She chopped up 1st and 2nd. Good for her. Nice woman.

I came in pretty short stacked probably around 7pm. I think I remember who you were.. I sat down in seat 4. Asked the player in seat 5, who I now presume was you, "how does she have chips?" since she was asking so many questions, "how much can I bet?".

yep, that was me. Nice to put a face to the avatars.
