I'd be willing to play on weekends if someone wants to get it going shorthanded (can't do every weekend unfortunately but would definitely try to make it whenever I can).

Definitely recommend 6/12 horse at live on weekends, since it runs and I haven't seen pink run at shoe on weekends (could be wrong?). Not quite as much action but it's better than nlhe and paying rake as opposed to time tends to keep the game going

Pink chip during the week has been incredible at the shoe.

How many tier credits do the pink chip game and 2/5 NL pay?

Couldn't agree with this more, especially the bolded part. When the habitual complainers weren't complaining, they were leaving the table to avoid the games they didn't like. To be fair, most of the people I've played with didn't complain, but those who did made up for it.

I've heard people make statements after the other person left, but I haven't heard anyone complain to the face of the person who left. Granted, I haven't played in the game for a few months.

I'd be up for this. It really is a good game when it goes. I can't do it this upcoming weekend (holidays and all) but I can the next weekend. Let me know when works for you. Hopefully we can get a couple more people on here to join in as well.

I think you might be thinking of 4_8 Omaha 8, which takes the prize on grumpiness/complaining. In fact of all the limit games at live I think you'd be hard pressed to find a friendlier bunch.

Announced yesterday (possibly also mentioned to the big event finalists)...

Coming in March just after the WSOP series ends.

$1,0000,000 Guaranteed
$200 buy in
18 day 1 flights - 12 day event I believe so probably 9 day 1s, 2 flights each (time limited)
Top prize $250,000 gtd + WSOP Main Event (I THINK he said it was a package as in travel and such...)
Final 9 players all get paid entry to WSOP main event (but not travel packages if I heard correctly)
Also Anthony came around the table and said anyone who plays in EVERY flight (not rebuys 18 times, plays EACH flight) will get 1/2 their money back (ish) in the form of a buy in to a $1,700 event.

The Pink Chip Game has been going regularly on Wednesdays at 7:00pm., and occasionally on Tuesdays. But with tomorrow being Christmas Eve (when I have plans with family), I'm hoping that means more PCG players show up tonight.

No one in this thread plays these games and can help with an answer here? I did try to search the thread and couldn't find it.

Anthony,

Is there any plan to add a bravo kiosk machine? It's nice to be able to swipe in and get a text msg when your name is called.

Also, showing the names of the winners for the monthly drawings on the bravo screens would be nice (like the other place).

I really like a lot about the place, and had a great time yesterday (running good helps). However, the drink service is beyond awful (worse than the other place). I know it's a minor thing, but it should be pretty easy to fix. Several of the servers are flat out lazy, while others just suck at their jobs. I had one server twice come to my table to apologize for forgetting our orders, and then forget them again.

There is a lot to like about the room, but good god is it frustrating to go an hour between seeing a server.

Does anyone want to get the pink chip game sometime tomorrow? Maybe like around noon or so? I'm open for anytime though.

I would wager quite a few pride bucks that they meet the guarantee.

My friend and I are planning to come to Horseshoe for the first time this Tuesday, and would love to play pink chip HOE. What time should we come to make sure it runs and we get in the game?
