I was afraid you'd say that. As much as I appreciate the info as well as others do, it is against 2+2 rules for you to discuss your room unless you become an authorized room rep. I have to ask you to stop posting about Rockingham until/unless you become one. You can contact user Bobo Fett, or follow this link: Two Plus Two Advertising

No problem. All posts are my opinion. As the law hasn't passed. I respect the rules sorry.

I think the real issue is sustainability. I've played at rockingham for tournaments for years now. It's the same crowd year after year and while many of them believe they are great poker players, very few of them could sustain playing a high rake NL game. I can think of 5 or 6 clowns that will surely be playing these games and will surely go broke in no time. The limit games and tournaments are perfect for these folks as it prevents them busting or even having a bankroll. Once all of them are back to tournaments only and given there's going to be competition from other rooms, it remains to be seen how good it's going to be.

So, is it a definite that NLHE will be offered at Rockingham ? If so, what's the start date ? Doesn't look like July 1 is possible.

So about a week to go before NLHE in NH does anyone have any updates on the rules yet? Like did the bill ever even get signed? Starting to feel like I got my hopes up here

I don't know about July 1 and I don't know if the governor has signed the bill, but I did see some draft rules from one of the rooms. The most interesting thing in them is it looks like they're planning to run 1/2 NL with a $50 min and a $150-per-hand max buy that can not put your stack over $300 (i.e. it's 1/2NL 300max, but you have to spread the purchase out over two buys.) and a 2/4 (yes, 2/4 not 2/5) NL with an $80 min and the same $150-per-hand max buy but no stated cap. Cash won't play and the rake is stated at 10% up to $6 and a $1 jackpot drop.

Heard there is a banner up in Hampton advertising the NL games starting July 1st

h0trod which room?

My info is from Rockingham. I don't work there, just know a dealer who does. So my info should be taken with a grain of salt, but in the case of the rules info I posted above, I saw the document. I'm sure however that it was only a draft and subject to change.

Rockingham is the room I'm interested in since it's real close to me. I'd be perfectly fine if that draft became policy.

Interesting stuff. Friday is my last day at work so I will be spending a lot of time at Rockingham. Only thing that stinks is I have school July 1st so I will miss the first day. Should be there at 2PM on the 2nd and everyday after lol. Where you from Lattimer?

I'm within a half hour drive. That's all I'll say on the public forum

Since these rooms close at 12-1am I can see a lot of action in the hour prior.. "Oh man I have an hour left to break even". Should be good!

Only thing that will stink is there is gonna be tons of people buying in short. I can already see it.....

I dealt there for about 3 years. Last year of Dan Brown first 2 years of Ed Callahan. I really enjoyed my time there and the people I worked with. I was not one of the chosen who got to deal tournaments often so it was hour after hour of 2-4 and 4-4 limit.

Sustainability was one of the dynamics of the room I always tried to figure out. They have great tournaments structures and usually had really good numbers for the daily tournaments. The problem I always saw was when someone gets knocked out of the tourneys they didn't have the option of playing nl cash, so it was wait for the next tourney, sign up for a sit n go, bet the ponies or go home, With 1-2 no limit they should have a built in customer base of tourney players that now will play cash until the next tourney start, or try to play tight nl cash like they do in the tournaments to try to freeroll tourneys added to the number of new players coming that have wanted for cash for years. I think to start you'll see crazy action.

I think you will see a large drop in the number of sit in goes.

I never understood how they kept the amount of limit poker going! It was the same players day after day, week after week. The usual table at 2-4 most hands were capped at $8 with 9 callers. Flop would be 3 8 K rainbow capped again at $8 with 6 callers and would continue with no fold em hold em. Rake was $7 at the time, and I just wasn't beatable, but the players loved it, or should I say loved being miserable at it hour after hour.

I hope to get up there at some point and would expect to see a lot of familiar faces both at the tables, in the box, and flooring.

Does anyone know it the dealers keep their own tips by now? The was one thing I did not like about the room. The quality of dealers really improves when they can keep their own.

Nope. tips are still pooled from the tournaments, cash and the table games.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone wants to play omaha or sng's over there if NL holdem goes live.

plo is a better and deeper game than no limit at the same stakes

Oh I know that given how deep it plays at foxwoods. But with regards to NH, I was under the assumption the bill covered NLH only and didnt include plo.

maybe they'll finish the braga bridge in time.

Has anyone been able to definitively confirm a July 1 NL Cash start date for any of the NH rooms?

Signed sealed delivered. No limit in nh July first

Thanks Rick!

I thought it was still sitting on the governor's desk. This is excellent news.
