False.
At least not according to the 3 casinos that I've played in.

Regular, get 3 discard 1 pre flop.
Crazy, get 3, discard 1 on the flop (but after betting).

Thats the way we play it in our home game. Never played it in a casino. That would be to crazy.

I think if there's OE it should be 10-20 or at least 8-16 to differentiate it from what's already offered. Or heck just do a straight 4-8 sstud8 (or 6-12 for a better ante structure). 10-20 though u differentiate it at it has a better (but still slim) chance of a) running and b) having mdl be open to spreading it. IMO.

+1million. Excellent post

I *think* that the mall has bike racks, and the Casino is just outside the food court entrance, so... probably right there.

I've played the 6/12 horse a fair amount and I never really noticed people being away from the table a lot, except a few times where it was pretty obv they didn't want to play the stud games and left after a couple rounds.

I'd much rather play 8-16 OE than horse and would also play short. But can generally only play weekends.

I've been wanting to learn all of the HORSE games, being a NLHE player. Given that I can't really do it online now a days, I'd be interested in occasionally playing some 6/12 HORSE if it went, but I wouldn't play it any higher and would actually prefer 3/6 or 4/8. I think if a very small HORSE game went once a week or once a month even, it would be a good feeder to the bigger games.

He has been teasing me saying many more exciting promotions are on their way. I am keeping my eyes and ears open for Jul 20th, the date when he is going to make the announcement.

Also they are preparing for the new room to be open and would increase their promotion's frequency.

Ok, not the 20th but here are the plans for August:

August 4-10 PPC Aruba Satellites

August 11-15 $100,000 Guaranteed $100 Buy-in Multi flights MTT

August 18-22 $125,000 Guaranteed $150 Double Green Chip Bounty Mult flights MTT

$20,000 Cash Drawings Sunday August 10 and August 17 12p-10p $2,000 each hour. Earn 1 drawing ticket for each hour played starting the Monday before.

Every Saturday $500 or $250 High Hands every hour 11am to 11pm

Our Birthday Week, August 25-29 will have the same High Hands as Saturday

On the 28th, we'll celebrate one year with $1,000 High Hands every 30 minutes 10am to midnight

Thanks

Re: limit game buyins

Good rule of thumb for limit games:

2 chip/4 chip structure: 1 rack for fullish game

3 chip/6 chip or 4 chip/8 chip: 2 racks for fullish game

Add an extra rack or two if the game is super short.

Ummm..there is water readily available for free in the casino and for every proper person like you trying to get H20, there are 5 people in the parking garage trying to fill up with vodka...

They are not really trying to deny you water sir....

Dunno know about non-noob, but I'd buy in for 2 racks of $2 chips - $400, 33 bets. That's a but much, but it makes things easy at the cage. In general, I think you want to be starting with between 20 and 30 bets if you're going to put in a real limit session.

* - and don't be surprised if you run through those either...especially if you're playing short handed.
