I know what simon were talking about and I know I personally sat him at 10-20, and I know he was waiting for 40 - 80 and up.

now that the circuit events are over, what will the regular tournament schedule be like? i hope it has a better structure than the push-fest for yesterday's last event.

Coincidentally, when I posted the question about tipping, I witnessed your very situation on Saturday. The table next to me had a straight flush. The floor verified it and Brandon did the paperwork. However, I would say it was done in about 10 minutes, so it didn‘t take as long as your straight flush to be paid out. I didn’t see any tipping going on.

The hand was interesting BTW. One person raised with jacks. The person who called had 23. He made his straight flush on the river and when the guy with the jacks saw what he was called with, he had a mild fit.

Generally, Harrah's uses promotions to prompt losers to return, and to lure new suckers. Horseshoe must have "gimmicks" to attract people to bust, because there are too few persons who return, because of having "won".

Huh?? How much is the weed going for these days?

well duh they are running a business, not a charity, i don't see why anyone would think they'd run promotions for winning regulars?

i was at the table when the guy made the straight flush with 23hh. it didn't take long at all for him to be paid.

other notes:

the guy with JJ that was whining and crying is clueless. raised $25 from sb in $1/2 played his hand face up and had action 5 ways preflop the guy with 23hh was last person to call in the hand. He flopped a pair, gutshot, flush draw, and just called the flop bet, after making the straight flush THEY BOTH check the turn and river.

I also played in event #13 (placed about 110th, which took 5 hours but paid the same as 666th LDO). I was not thrilled that they shortened the structure at the last minute, what with shrinking levels from 40 to 30 minutes and skipping every third or fourth level.

That said, that tournament had more play in it than anything I've ever seen offered at any casino for less than $500. What you are likely to see going forward is something with a structure at least that fast but with fewer starting chips. Anything else just monopolizes the room for too long and makes too little money for the house.

Of course, I'm speculating; it might turn out that the Horseshoe has some resource advantage that makes them able to do something different.

was at the shoe tonight , shoe now spreading 1- 2 pot limit omaha. 100- 300 buy in , way to go jeremy and jason. thankyou for trying it out. im gonna check the cushions in my trailer for some extra coin to scratch together a buy in.

How many tables of that game did they have going?

1 table tonight. we have also upped the buy ins of the 2-5 plo to 200 min 1000 max.

You asked here for the 1-2 plo and you shall recieve. Now show up for it...lol

I was hesitant to try this because I don't want to hurt the good 2-5 game we get quite often. Let's see what happens.......
I think we will get at least 1-2 games of the 1-2 plo a day but I hope the 2-5 still goes. Hopefully these 1-2 plo players will eventually convert to 2-5 players and make the 2-5 game that much stronger...

One difference that most might not know yet. You can bet odd dollar amounts pre flop for pot bets but post flop pot bets will be in $5 increments. Example: $32 in the pot and someone says pot, it would then be a $35 bet. Any odd dollar just gets rounded up. This should speed the game up and make it easier to calculate.

The first game that started today was still going strong at 2am. And it was CRAZY action!

Way to go with the 1/2 PLO ! I played in that game tonight and it was a great game, lots of action.
It's funny because just last night I was going to ask Jeremy about it but he was caught up in something on the floor and I didn't feel like waiting and there it was today when I came in.

I think it will be a great game going forward!

Sicky Ross!!! I'll be there tomorrow. (Duh.)

Is it possible to be permanently placed on a list? Haha.

I am very impressed Jeremy. I feel that a 1-2 plo game is necessary to grow the popularity of this game. Some of my buddies wanted to play plo, but didnt want to play 2-5 with me. This new option is excellent.

Bravo, Jeremy. Thanks for listening.

I really think this will feed the 2-5 game.

this is great fkn news!!!! i will be out there this weekend, hopefully all day and night. thanks!!!!

what kind of tournaments do you run on Saturday usually?

None, the only tournament we have had is the WSOP circuit last week. Tournaments will not start for a month or so. We finalized everything the other day now we are waiting on approval for the weekly tournaments.

awww Ill still be there tomorrow to play some 1-2! And i didnt expect such a fast reply, thanks.

To Jason, Jeremy, or whoever is in charge -

I usually phone in to have my name put on the list for a poker game. When I get to the casino my name is on the list as it should be. But I do not know where I am on the list. It looks like I might be number 10, so I could and might wander around the rest of the casino or use the restroom. However, I could also be next up, but I don’t know that because all the names in front of me could be call ins. At Majestic Star the call-ins are in a different color and I can see that right-away. I find your board very deceiving and not helpful at all at the Horseshoe.

Yesterday there was a list of 13 or more players on an interest list for the 6/12 game and yet the game didn’t even get a nod. Maybe half of these are call-ins but I can’t see that because it doesn’t show on the board. There was a 5/10 interest list for Omaha8 with about the same amount of names and that game was not being called . These games are my preferences. Nobody on the desk at 4:30 PM knew if these games were going to happen, so I left. If I want to play 3/6 holdem I can go to Majestic Star which I did yesterday.

Ran into some sick variance today at the 2/5nl 9am-2pm... money in on turn and 1 outed on river set over set, KK V AA, AA never held etc... cubs hat and black hoodie, if I was playing with any of you. Yes I realize this describes half the room...

I always thought it would be a good idea to come early in the morning and catch people after all-nighters, just didn't know that's when the cold decks come out jkjk

Jeremy,
1) How many players do there need to be to start a table?

I called a floor because I was on the list to start a 1/2 PLO and there were 3 other players at my 2/5NL table that wanted to start the game with me sh (not to mention that there were also ppl on the want list that would have probably played). Floor blew me off in lieu of seeming to want to start the 2/5 "ok we'll let you know, but there are a lot of same players on the 1/2 and 2/5 list" ...

2) so the 1/2 will not run before the 2/5? Seems goofy as the 1/2 game was good to go.

Thanks for response.

6/12 (for some STAFF REASON), is the LAST PRIORITY GAME in that room. What you describe happens EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. It is as if, staff is trying to killl the 6/12 game, despite having introduced $2.00 chips.

The problem with the 6/12 is that not many people want to play it. When you see 13 people on the list, you'll be lucky if half of them will actually respond if the floor calls down the list. I liked that game too, but there were times when they would have 12 on the list and only 2 respond. The floor is willing to start that game short, except 6/12 players hate short games more than anyone. I have had success with lobbying the shift manager into calling down the list with 12+ names even though I didn't have much hope of getting a game because I knew that most of the people on the list had left.

Downtown, the reason the floor wouldn't start the 1/2 PLO is that it would probably kill the 2/5. The floor prioritizing the 2/5 game if it is in danger is correct.
