Maryland Live! (Arundel Mills Mall; Hanover, MD) -– FAQ in OP, added 2014.02.02 - Page 118 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Does 2+2 bar us from posting names of floors(who are not "in there")? I know a couple and they seem to be choke points with seats sitting empty and so forth. I only see it from a players pov which is limited...

It's not a general 2+2 rule, but it is a B&M forum rule. Perhaps you should try reading the sticky at the top that says "READ BEFORE POSTING!!!". From that sticky, rule #7:

(7) Privacy of non-famous players and card room employees. Respect other players' and card room employees' privacy; do not use personally identifying information on the forum unless they have given permission to do so either explicitly on the forums or implicitly by becoming an authorized representative.

If you want to comment about specific personnel to Mike, send him a PM. Don't do it in the open forum.

I played for the first time in two weeks last night. Waits were the lowest I've seen for a Friday around 5:00pm (~30). While I don't think my name was transferred to the table via Bravo like someone here said may be happening, I did notice something else that was great. I was sent to the second floor to be sat for 1/2, and when I asked to be sat up there they actually asked for my name and appeared to look for it on the computer. Actually verifying you were on the list is a huge improvement in my opinion. I didn't really notice a bunch of line jumpers wandering around either.

PSA. Lists are moving super slow atm. 2 minutes or more per name. Hopefully some of the few unused tables will open at 3?

Mike,

Something that I have been noticing very frequently recently is a pretty big concern. There are many dealers who are lazy with their pitch or burn technique and show cards to an entire half of the table. They really shouldn't be pitching the cards at a 40 degree angle. The dealers are excellent in most aspects of running a game but this is something I am seeing even from the really good dealers. Maybe a quick reminder to be more aware when pitching is needed. Thanks.

The floor asked him if he had been called and he said yes. The floor asked for his name, and called to the podium for verification. I don't think he ever even signed up for the list, and was removed from the table, but not escorted from the room.

Lines were pretty short last night, so the impact was less, but the line jumping has not ended.

Big bet players. Several of you have played in our limit game for various degrees of time. Any interest in a mixed hold em or PLO/LHE mix? We could try something like any of the following:

5/10 nlhe + 50/100 LHE
5/5 PLO + 50/100 LHE

10/25 nlhe + 75/150 LHE
10/10 PLO + 75/150 LHE

Mike,

Is it okay for 2 players agreed to ck it down when on guy is all in preflop? I was at 2/2 PLO table 19 today and seat 9 repot all in about $ 160 and seat 2 and 4 both call. However, they both agreed to ck it down before the flop and I told the dealer that's not fair to the player that's all in and the dealer said is okay. How's that okay? Of course, the all in player lost b/c seat 2 river the straight when they both ck it down. If seat 4 bet seat 2 out, seat 9 had a chance of winning.

Internet forum lore: One gets much better answers by asking random posters than by asking the people who would actually be in a position to know the right answer!

Goes along with: If it is on the internet, it must be true.

I just think if you are playing with 2-3k like you would at a 5/10 or 5/5 PLO, 50/100 would play a little too big. Conversely, if you had over 5k down, 5-10 or 5/5 might play too small.

Either way, I love the idea of a two or even three way mixed game. I'm sure we can find a good blind structure.

I did ask the dealer call the floor and he kept arguing it's okay for both them to ck it down. I did complaint loudly and make sure the whole table can hear me and dealer kept saying is okay and never called the floor. The loser (seat 9) did not know it was okay to being with until I've explained to him that one guy could bet out the other and he had a chance of winning. Every time when you have 2 against one the one always lose.

I'm surprised that LHE players would be interested in this since most play limit because they don't like the no-limit style and speed. This is the biggest reason I play it. LHE seems to be most often mixed with Omaha8 which plays well for similar stakes.

That's the idea though. I think foobar knows that the LHE game is bigger in comparison; that's his game, so he wants to play bigger in that one and smaller in the other ones.

Not really. The idea is to try to expand the mid/high stakes limit player pool.

I think 10/25 NL uncapped plays bigger than 50/100 limit and prolly smaller than 75/150. For example, regs usually buyin to 10/25 for 4 or 5k. Limit games you usually start with between 25 and 30 BBs - so between 2500 and 3k for 50 and between 4kish and 4500 for 75.

I will concede that 50/100 is prolly bigger than 5/10 w. 2k cap, but I don't think by much.

Anyhow, I'm open to playing around with blind structures if anybody wants to give it a whirl.

O/8. 2 Hands tabled on river. Pot split incorrectly (chopped instead of 3/4). Player says something prior to next hand, but after deck is cut. Can the pot split error be fixed? I thought someone could speak up 3 hands later, so long as hands were tabled...???

I believe too late, outside of a house policy that might be different. Generally, you have to call attention to the error immediately. The deadline is the first riffle of the shuffle in hand shuffle games or the dealer pushing the green button in machine shuffle games.

Anyway, if we mixed in some NLHE, LHE, PLO, and O8, at decent blinds, I'm all for any combination of the bunch.
