They get a 1/3/5 going on most days but it plays pretty a little too big for me since most guys will have 1k+ on the table. The game that goes here sounds like its perfect for what Im looking for.

Pretty sure the last one had 240ish

that's a long difference in drive for you...

the 1/2 plo here is not that different. straddle is $5 and i've rarely been at a table that didn't have at least a couple of $1k stacks.

coming from someone who has played a decent amount of both 1/2 and 1/2/5, the difference in games is huge.

Correct. There is a huge difference between buying in for 300 and a few guys ending up sitting on 1k stacks then guys buying right in for 1k.

The 1/3/5 game in Lawrenceburg can have between 5k to 10k on the table.

It is a big difference in drive but I think id probably make it a weekend trip to hammond or if during the week I think I might have to stay the night. Plus Ive never been so Im pretty interested in checking it out as much as anything.

The air quality / air filtration system in the high limit table games rooms is remarkably superior to the poker room.

has the 2-5 PLO been going at all? it was running pretty steady during CPC (haven't been back down since)

no

The guy who most 2/5 PLO games were built around has disappeared. Grumpy old Korean war vet who went south with black chips - anybody know what happened to him?

No **** but this was very well put together 411 ! Although I always sit down with $100 at 1-2 unless the table is really deep...I would think since you started with a small BR you wouldn't have bought in for $200 every time and just bought in for the $100 but to each his own... I liked reading this and def agree with the players love they're call button!

Heard he got sick. Probably wouldn't be fair to say the game was built around him, he usually showed up late after the game was well underway.

Ok personal challenge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be at the Shoe in about an hour... Going to TRY and buy into 1-2 for $100 , and get to $300.. Play 2-5 with that and get too $600 and then 5-10 with that getting too $1200....

A little crazy and a little dumb ,but Im still gonna try and would be cool I think...

That's how "it used to be done". That's what people used to do in casinos. That is not an original thought, and is not "crazy" or "dumb".

one thing that has really grating on me when i play here is literally the entire rooms nittyness with regard to showing their cards at showdown. almost everytime a hand goes to showdown the bettor is reluctant or simply wi not reveal their hole cards and the dealers are absolutely terrible about enforcing showdown rules. often times fish are tricked into showing their hand first when the other player was supposed to. people will say something vague like "i have a king" on a k high board, show their one K and refuse to show the kicker until prompted. many many hands i get to showdown with someone who needs to show their hand first and we proceed to have a staring contest for 5-10 seconds after the hand while i wait for them to turn their cards overbecause they want to see if i will turn my cards up first for whatever reason. the dealers are really bad about enforcing showdown rules, one player needs to turn their hand first but many times they simply ask both players to turn at the same time. all of the games played at showdown get really old and it reallyis hilarious to see terrible terrible players be so nitty and angle shooting at showdown. when i bet all in and get called my cards are turned up within 3 seconds of villains chips going in the middle. i dont ****ing sit there staring at him for 15 secs waiting to see if hes dumb enough to turn his hand first. this is by far the most tilting part of ny sessions here.

I feel you...I table my cards after an all in immediately after going all in the same as a tourney..One it induces other guy to table his cards.Two it gives the whole table a little sweat action for entertainment purposes haha...

haha thanks for saying it aint dumb...Just thought it was bad BRM but whatever....there was no 5-10 last night and I couldn't get on 2-5 so this challenge was a FAIL!

I agree, I see this a lot and it's a total bitch move. Not cool at all.

I also see a lot of wannabe "pros" and "regulars" berating recreational players for how they play. These "pros" and "regulars" are essentially exposing their stupidity. Don't the "pros" and "regulars" realize that horrible play is how they make their money. Seems like the standard move when they get outplayed and don't want to admit it.

maybe were just categorizing players differently, but i havent seen reg on fish violence here after about 100 hours of play. i only see fish on fish violence. i do agree with the sentiment that like 5-6 people at my 1-2 9 handed table think they are mike mcd from rounders while they limp/call 6BB with 97o UTG

Ready to play the monthly 500 tournament this Saturday... Hopefully the turn out will be good and I could finally get a good score in this tourney! Anyone playing?

pretty sure this happens everywhere fwiw, but i do agree its super annoying

Hey! With enough callers, I'm coming along with 97o for 6BB utg. I cracked AA for his stack last week with 98o doing that.

How do you know there will be "enough callers" when you are utg?

Yep

What is the rake like for the 500 tourney, excluding the 10 dollar bonus buy? Anyone know the break structure. I am aware its every 3 levels, but are these only 15 min breaks, no dinner break i assume?
