I looked over the tournament schedule for this month and I think live has done a very poor job of running sattys into the wpt main, why not run sattys on the weekends leading up to the main? I guess they down care too much

how is traffic back to VA on a weds if I leave Live at 6:30pm?
(need to be at Fairfax by 8pm)

In my experience, not bad - about one hour.

Can't believe I've never posted in this thread. I'm at live all the time. I mostly play PLO but I love LO/8 too and would like to see games higher than 4/8 running... Any chance we can get 10/20 going?

6/12 runs occasionally. Never seen anything bigger in limit O8.

They had 10-20 with a half kill a bunch of weeks ago but it's only run once or twice. Would love to see it more. Had half kill to 15-30. But again these games are sporadic. I would certainly play though.

8-16 o8 ran every weekend for about six months.

Start the 10-20 list! We got that game going about a month ago...just had to play 3 handed for 30 mins or so...

Does live match tier status from other casinos?

Nope

thurs 8pm:
Maryland Live! 26 tables
Horseshoe Baltimore 10 tables

WTF?!

these #s look low even for a non-promo weeknight.
is bravo wrong?


edit:
doh.. no promo at Shoe on thurs.

Also, NFL starts tonight.

Have talked to a few guys I play with, general consensus is that this promotion has been much more lightly attended than the previous one.

The room has been less busy recently then it normally is without any promos running. I wonder if people realized that with the new $7 rake they are much better off playing at Horseshoe.

It has nothing to do with "new $7 rake". It all has to do if your bankroll can support you to play all the time or just one day a week or on weekend only. The promo of course would draw in more players, however, it does not guaranteed that you'll get a piece of the pie. I don't think most rec players would notice about the "new $7 rake" unless poker is your profession then every penny counts. As for most rec players like myself, I don't think I want to drive that extra 12 miles further from LIVE "we've been through this already" and playing at the shoe does not guaranteed my win every hand and therefore, it wouldn't be better off to play at the shoe despite the lower rake.

MD Live! is going to remain the place folks go to while traveling through BWI. The Horseshoe has a better promotion right now and that's drawing away some players. The higher rake is an annoyance, but as long as rec players show up, the reg's will too.

I doubt National Harbor will even try to compete on rake. They will have the best location drawing rec players from DC. Reg's will drift down until the action dries up and then they will come back or move on to easier pickins.

Rec players who don't play for a living but want to show a profit notice plenty. Well, I do anyway. I'm rec in the sense poker is for fun, but, for me, the fun is derived from playing well (or playing poorly and learning from it)... I don't get my thrill from the possibility of a big payoff when the odds don't justify it.

Higher rake is a BIG turnoff for me. The only game I can beat at that rake is 1/2 (or 1/3) and .... maybe 4/8 if I'm VERY selective about game choice.

Thing is, I hate no-limit poker and 4-8 bores me. So, unless Horse is running or 10-20, I'm not having fun. If the rake were reduced to say 4 max, no jackpot, I could make enough for it to be worth the boredom. So,

I wonder how many people even realize the rake changed? Not to be funny about it but I'd be stunned if more than 50% of people knew that the rake had change - its not like they put a sign up.

ML will continue to do what they can do while they are the big dog in the market. Happened with Atlantic City, happened with CT when they where the new/only game in town - happening right now with ML.

People have always - and will in the future - vote with their wallets. I'll continue to go to ML because its the best room IMO and I'm not going to drive the rest of they way into Baltimore to play Horseshoe - just to save $1/pot. But, am I going to drive the 45 minutes past National Harbor to get to ML - when NH will be 10 minutes from my house? Only time will tell.

I just recently tried the Shoe. Shoe and Live are equidistant. There are things I like about both; however, it seems that there are a few things I actually found I like better with the Shoe. Rake being equal, Shoe offers 9-sitted for 2/5 which is nice. Bottle beer at Live cost $7-9 and is a couple dollars cheaper at Shoe. Other liquor is much cheaper at the Shoe as well. The lighting and spacing of tables is better at the Shoe too. The parking is easier to get into and out of. The whole experience just seems more pleasant to me, but perhaps it is because it is new to me.

No way would I drive an extra 45 minutes to get to any one of these casinos....if I were you once Harbor opens...it would be very hard to convince me to drive that extra.

Please consider making the 2/5 cap $1000 instead of $600.

He already made a 5/5 game for people who want a $1k cap.

lol.. they just recently upped the cap from $500 to $600.

as Rapini wrote, try the 5/5 nl. 200min, 1000max.
another difference from 2/5nl is that it's not a jackpot game, so no $2 taken for the bad beat jp/promos

I know they recently changed the cap. I do not think there will be many rec or bad players at that 5/5 game. So I think they should make 2/5 1000 cap.
