Also this would be my 1st time playing PLO live, how much time is spent by the dealer counting the pot when someone pots it on every street. Is the pot kept a little more organized to facilitate this rather than just a messy pile of chips like in NL ?
Hope I can make it out this Friday ....
Yes, its a Red Chip game.
About half the table buys the max and half doesn't. 300 is fine to start out with.
Most of the Parx dealers are very good at keeping track of the pot and the game runs very smooth. A lot of the regs know the pot most of the time, and rather than just calling pot will announce the bet. Sometimes there is a disagreement but that's the exception not the rule.
An easy shortcut for calculating the pot is 3x the bet you are facing + the trail.
Another good one is if someone pots it for x, and another person re-pots it, the bet is now 4x. If it goes pot, cal re-pot its 5x, ect.
Hope you can come this Friday too! Should be good since most people won't play over the Christmas weekend I think a lot will play on Friday.
