It went ok....card dead for a long while, but managed to stay slightly ahead/behind for the duration of my time in the game (until 12ish). I'm hoping to get there in a few hours after a family dinner and the kiddo goes to bed.....

How did you do?

With that said I probably shouldn't have been there due to not having much money and being in graduate school. But my friend who I hadn't seen in a while wanted to go so I decided to check things out.

so being that you can go there and tell the management what game you want to start if not provided, do you guys think there would be any interest in starting a 2/4 LHE table?

3/6 is the lowest LHE table they offer. Why on earth would you want an even lower stakes game with the same 10% up to $6 rake? Talk about an impossible game to beat. Personally I'm shocked as many people want to play 3/6 as do with that heavy a rake on the game.

When I was at the podium Friday night talking to {OMG Censored}, a customer came up and asked him if they would spread a 2/4 game. The replay was that they would not spread a 2/4 or 4/8 LHE game while they had the 3/6. The next game they would spread is 5/10 or 6/12 LHE.

I'd like to see a 6/12 LHE game, but I'd really rather see a 7.50/15 pink chip game

Also, while there this afternoon, it was mentioned that they are going to try and go 24/7 in Sept, at least on weekends.

Do they have $2 chips in WV? If so, 6/12 would be a good choice. It is not nearly as good a game with 5s and 1s though.

But if they got a bunch of $2.50 pink chips, we could have a pink chip game.

It's likely too close to the 10-20 game and would probably negatively impact it...it would work better if they had a 15-30 and 30-60 as the next games.

They tried to call the 20/40 game twice Sunday but it never went. It seems hard enough to keep the 10/20 game going....and when it is going, the list takes forever to cycle through since it is only 1 table.....Limit is not the popular choice right now, much to my dismay....

In the long run, I think NL is bad for poker (people go broke too fast or learn to play tight at least, it's just such a f'n grind), but that's a topic for another thread. In any event, I will be a regular at Ctown very soon, so I'm excited about that lol.

Hopefully, with some diligent work on my part, I can become competent at nl to move past that.

IMHO, to establish limit at CT, there needs to be a 2/4 and a 5/10, not a 3/6, to get the lower limit guys interested in the game.

2/4 limit sucks. Does the 10/20 go?

How are the games mid-day during the week? Thinking about heading up next Wednesday for my brother's birthday.

I'd like to see something lower than 5/5 PLO, but haven't heard any other requests for it until now. I would think a smaller game could increase the appeal of Omaha and in the end help the bigger game. We may need a bigger room, or an agreed week night that the PLO'ers show up for the smaller game. There will not be room for it on a Saturday, and its not going to spread randomly during the week because we won't have enough players to make a table unless there is some coordination.

I'm probably going to head up on Friday arriving around 3pm. I believe the room opens at 1pm each day now, correct? Do they open all of the tables at that time or do they do it over several hours? Just wondering if I'll be able to get on a table at 3pm on Friday or if I'll be waiting for a while. Thanks for the advice.

Try to get there a little earlier or go Thursday maybe.

I'll be up there tomorrow night and Friday night if anybody wants to plan on getting a 1/2 game going.
