When does the 5/10 NL game run? I heard it usually runs everyday, but what time does it usually start?

10 am? or late afternoon?

Would be much appreciated it a regular or the poker room manager posted in this thread to give some details on when the 5/10 game runs.

Also, I am referring to the normal 1k plus 5/10 game. Not the short stack $300 game.

Thanks.

33 Big Blinds, if you could PM as well that would be great. I am in Vero, I think this is going to be the closest room for any decent stakes. I see you mentioned a 10-25 PLO game, is there a 5-5 or 5-10 PLO game that runs at all? Thanks.

You will have to go a little south for daily PLO. Iirc the isle has a 5/5 running daily. Pbkc has a sporadic 25/25/50 nlhe/PLO/plo8 game and the standard 5/10 is probably the easiest game around. Pm sent with number.

Good News from Palm Beach Kennel Club! The HORSE Tournament is back. On SUNDAY, June 19th at 12 noon. $120.00 for 7000 units with 20 minutes levels.

I'm now back from weekend trip at PBKC. I was impressed by the room and how it was run. Willie does a great job with managing the high stakes games. Also, they were doing NFND in the pit, and they were comping food for everybody in the pit while I was there.

There was a kid named Matt playing in the pit that I would've bet was 2+2, but when I asked he says "No, I don't blog". lol

So I'm playing the $30/$20 rebuy with the 10k gtd on Fri night and why on Earth is the break 18 minutes long? I can only imagine how that conversation went...
"15 minutes is clearly not enough, but 20 is way too many... Hmmm"

Also, when you're having 100+ player fields, why does registration not occur at least the night before? I want to sign up for the $120 deep stack so i can just sit down when I get here tomorrow morning. Any way to fix this?

Furthermore, I am very against dealers doing color ups during play but if that's your policy then so be it. However, if they are goin to be coloring up can you ask them to maintain focus on their purpose? My dealer asked a runner for some red and received 100k in red to do color ups. Here's something that I think is reasonably unfair to a tournament player:

For example, I doubled up at the 1k/2k 200a level. My eventual allin bet contain some orange, 12 blue 500 units, and 2500 worth of black. The pot I got back contained like 5 5ks, 20 orange, and 3 black. We still have plenty of time left in black antes and while still at 1500/3000 300a the well contains 5k black, 40k blue, 20k orange and 35k red. Just seems to defeat the purpose and chip psychology is a huge factor in NLHE MTTs

did this guy really just drop "chip psychology" then say it was a "huge factor in nlhe mtts"

Yeah I did. Have you ever actually played a live MTT <$500? Most players cannot come close to counting how many chips someone has if you have more than 40 physical chips. It is also significantly more difficult for me to open to 5100 when I've got no blacks. Portraying an imagine allows you to manipulate the puppets. Care to refute that?

I'm not going to debate how to "manipulate the puppets" but i will debate who is in fact the puppet.

For the Friday night event, early registration starts at 5:45pm upstairs. 20 to 30 players take advantage of this feature each week.

For Saturday day, early registration starts at 11am.

Thanks

Lord Strife,

Am I correct in thinking that you are a dealer yourself?

I am. How is that relevant?

Edit: if you are saying that to say "you should know better" then that's silly. The proceedure slows the game down and is unprofessional. Not to mention I don't trust a reasonable percentage of the dealers to do color ups correctly during a hand because they are rushing and can make errors.

Noah when are you going to fire that larry idiot for making terrible decisions/being generally incompetent/being terrible at his job? He is very unprofessional and short with players. He is a massive fish and should try his luck in the managerial field. At burger king.

I have no clue who you are referring to but this is extremely out of line.

I don't care to hear your explanation, but I think it is a joke that you would point out that I am out of line. Especially considering that you're some dealer who tries to defame pbkc while promoting the isle in public forums.

I've told the guy and his coworkers that he is biased and incompetent, yet he still works there. I think trying to improve the quality of the staff so they don't potentially make bad rulings in 10k pots is a much more legitimate cause then your attempt to change the tournament color-up structure. Money and game integrity are more valuable then "chip psychology" in some $50 tournament.

Publically putting someone on blast in an open Internet forum is wrong. I've done it, but I see the errors of my ways. If it is that much of an issue Noah seems to be on here, I'm sure you could pm him or tell him in person.

Seems like a legit point to me.

Lord_Strife has put me on blast previously. Saying I was unprofessional for saying John Riordan was a luckbox when the kid is a very good friend of mine and was clearly joking. Yet, he can come to a competitors thread (is a dealer at the Isle) and point out what he thinks are negatives of the place.

I realize the argument is that you are coming to them as a poker player voicing your concerns on what is the location you should come to concerns with... but the moment you let everyone know you were a staff member of the Isle you should have voiced your concerns elsewhere, bc now everything you say seems to come with a conflict of interest.

The only thing wrong about blasting this guy on here is that he can not defend himself since computers are beyond his rationale. Even if he was able to turn the machine on and navigate all the way to the 2p2 forum I'm not sure he'd be come up with an explanation for his actions.

He avoids starting games out of pure laziness and makes bad decisions because he is simply incapable. I've complained to all of the people that work there especially the guy himself. I've personally whined about the guy to Noah multiple times.

Calling out cocky dealers or "professional poker players" (33 blinds) that wouldn't 4 table me at 10/20 for $400/hour is questionable. Calling out a guy who has cost me money on multiple occasions, because he can not perform his job, is reasonable.

Huh? I was just saying that it is unnecessary, not to mention completely pointless if you've already said something to management, to call out a guy who can't defend himself. All negative things aside, I have had the most horrendous floor decisions at other rooms in FL, however, I do not publicly defame the person that did it, just the room in general (also usually not on a public forum).

I think you might have me confused, while I do play high-stakes I am not pro, nor have you ever challenged me to anything. GG tho.

Why are you saying "GG tho"? What does that mean? Are you saying you win the moral high ground in this argument because you claim to only defame the room itself rather than the less qualified workers on their team? Seems pretty stupid to me.

The kennel club is great, plenty of good dealers, smart rules, some floor guys are reasonable about rake and such. The things that take away from the room are correctable: weak dealers, stupid floor guys, silly rules ect. All things that can be addressed. Me working to improve the room seems a lot more constructive than you talking **** about the room in general.

Also reiterating a previous point (already told management) isn't completely pointless. I'm voicing my opinion and putting emphasis on my previous statement that larry is worthless.

And as far as ever having challenged you to anything, the $400/hr offer still stands. We can 4 table on stars homegame at play money xbook 10/20 worth on laptops in a casino. I'm 100% willing to post the $ and square on the spot.

No thank you.

Ah the age ol' 2p2 argument that settles all: HU 4 ROLLZ

Zergum stop arguing with the village goofballs

Say exactlly what happened in the 10k hand

Alright this is getting fairly ridiculous. Please tell me how me being a dealer is relevant in any way shape or form? I played 3 mtts at West Palm this previous weekend and I chose to do that other several other locations. I'm very good friends with several employees at this establishment and I am on great terms with many others. I don't get the rake at my place of employment and if anythig else the only person that has reason to be annoyed at me could be my own Poker Room Manager because all I did in this thread was provide some suggestions to IMPROVE this place. If I had malicious intent, why the hell would I do that? I happen to play here and I happen to want to win when I play. If you want to choose to recognize or not recognize what I'm referring to about having a lot of smaller denomination chips in play then that's up to you. Doesn't matter to me. With the exception of the SNG's the WSOPC was run fantastically and I'm almost certain that Jimmy Summerfield wasn't allowing dealers to color up during play and there is a reason for that. It distracts the game, dealers can make errors while they are rushing to color up a stack before putting a turn card out, and it leaves open the possibility of cheating/collusion between dealer/customer.

As far as the issue on a manager you don't like: be a man. Stop bashing the guy where he can't defend himself and there is almost always more to the story. If Noah thought he wasnt capable then he probably wouldn't be working there. Especially since players like yourself have voiced your opinion. Calling him names on the Internet... That's just classy.

yankee grinder:
I used to work at Lucky's in Tampa and played at the Silks on a regular basis. Numerous of your co-workers will tell you that I am doing anything but bashing my "competition". Am I voicing my concerns as a player? Obviously. You'll notice that I didn't just come in here and say "this place sucks come to the Isle!" instead I shared my experience and offered a few suggestions to fix what I felt would benefit everyone but myself.

Noah: anything else other than "oh you're a dealer right?" are you able to look me in the eye and tell me that I'm out of line here? I doubt it
