So yeah, I also inquired in the Colorado poker thread, but I thought I'd make a dedicated thread for more exposure. I left Vegas last month, and I'm itching for some action. The problem is that I only see Holdem when I check Bravo, and I'm never going to drive an hour into the mountains to play a game I basically refused to play in Vegas. If anyone has visited Vegas and joined a low limit (3/6 or 4/8) mix game at all in the last 6 years, we've probably played together. I LOVE mix games. I play purely for entertainment value, and I'd rather lose money playing mix than win money playing Holdem! So, even though I know it's a long shot, here goes...
Anyone who's interested, let's get a mix game started in Black Hawk some night soon. I'd prefer to play 3/6 or 4/8, but I'm happy to play as high as 9/18. I've found the best mixes are 9-12 games, consisting of 3-4 of each game "type" (draw, stud, and flop). I'll play as many games as the table wishes, but there really should be a minimum of 9. I'd also be happy to just make placards for every game and play it as a "dealer's choice".
These are the games I've played regularly in Vegas over the last seven years:
Draw Games:- 2-7 TD
- A-5 TD
- 5-Card Hi TD
- Archie
- Badeucy
- Badacey
- Badugi
- Hi-Dugi (AKA; Goodugi - sort of rare, but FUN)
Flop Games:- Drawmaha
- Double Board Omaha
- Omaha 8
- Big O
- Pineapple
- 4-card Crazy Pineapple Ocean
- 3-2-1 Omaha
Stud Games:- Stud Hi
- Super Stud Hi
- Stud 8
- Super Stud 8
- Hi-Lo Regular
- Razz
- Razzdugi
- 2-7 Razz
I'm also always happy to add capped big bet games into any mix:
- 2-7 SD NL
- 5-Card SD NL
- 2-7 TD PL
- Big O PL
- PLO
- PLO8
If it's not abundantly obvious... Basically anything other than Holdem. I'm more than happy to play just about anything you can come up with though. Hell, even though I never joined Barge myself, if any of you are in the area, I KNOW you guys would be down to play.
For what it's worth, if I was making my ideal game rotation, it would be:
- Double Board Omaha
- Super Stud Hi
- 2-7 TD
- Big O
- Razz
- Archie
- 4-card Crazy Pineapple Ocean
- Hi-Lo Regular
- Badugi
- Drawmaha
- Razzdugi
- Badeucy
So come on people... Aren't you tired of playing with just two cards? Lets get a weekly (or bi-weekly) mix game started.
