6-12 OE goes every day, almost all day.

All other variations depend on who is there and wants to start it, there's no guarantee on any specific limit or any specific game running on any given day.

4-8, 8-16, 10-20, 15-30, 30-60, 50-100, 75-150, 100-200 have all run recently at various times. O8, stud 8, OE, HOE, HO, HOSE, and probably other combinations have all run recently at various times. Just get enough people, pick a stake and a game, and hopefully you can get it to run. (Incidentally, even though Razz is apparently approved in PA, I don't think Parx has ever spread it. Not sure if that's by decision, or whether no one has wanted to play it.)

I've heard people talk about having NLHE/PLO mixes, but I'm not sure if it's ever actually run as such. If so, it's rare occasions.

Yes, the old man regs in the 6-12 OE game will softplay each other once it gets to be heads up. IMO, who cares, they always show down and always had good hands to bet you out with. If you feel strongly otherwise, I wouldn't play in that game.

Thanks - This was very helpful.

As for the soft play among the regs - They usually do have good hands. But it still seems wrong. Omaha/Stud H/L is a game of draws and this sometimes prevents you from going to the river.

On the flip side, I have won some big pots by staying in with a big draw. When it hits it drives the regs nuts because they are the only ones who know how to play the game "the right way" LOL. It has sent some of them on tilt big time

We got a half 1/2 plo, half 2/5 nlhe game going at mohegan in ct a few times. Was a lot of fun.

Well it's a little out of my comfort zone and I'd be driving pretty far for a tuesday, but I'm tempted to check it out. Do they go every week pretty much? How late do the games go? Are the games decent or nitty/tough?

75 HOE runs every Tuesday and Friday and most Wednesdays. They usually start between 12 and 12:30, and sometimes if you miss your seat at the start you may need to wait until quite late to get a seat.

The game is basically what you should expect from a 75/150 game. Certainly not full of experts, but some good players in the pool. Also some bad players. Also some very bad players.

Why is there no tournament on Fridays?

I believe I read earlier that the usual buyin at 10/10 is a few k. Am I remembering correctly? What are the min/max buyin/normal avg buyin?

Thanks for any info

Check out the first post in this thread for FAQ answers to your questions.

Thanks. For some reason thought this was one of the casinos without a faq. rookie mistake

This is a good question, one that I actually have thought about for a while. The answer I came up with myself was that it would be too much of a strain on dealers. I imagine the main reason they have tourneys is to draw players into the cash games. On Fridays they already have a very good player pool for the cash games and probably feel that having to use dealers for the tourney would take away from cash games and lead to longer lists.

That might be way off base but that's the only reason I can think of. On Saturday, the other day cash games might be bigger than most, they have a larger buy in tourney ($230) and make it at noon with the intention of it being over before that night time rush. Again I might be wrong but this is my guess since every other day has a tourney now. If they think they have enough staff to handle it, maybe we will see a Friday tourney in the future.

Running a tourney I would assume always makes them money. If they have enough staff to cover both on saturdays then I would guess that it isn't due to a lack of staff available. If you would like them to add a friday tourney it may help if people who want it say something to one of the floors or something when there. Did they ever run a friday tourney before? Maybe they realized not enough people were playing it to make it worth it to them to run it?

Actually got a 5/10nl, 5/5plo game going at Parx last weekend. Pretty sweet structure.

There is a chip runner at Parx. As I understand it, the guy gave the cash to the chip runner, who didn't have enough in his tray, so he said "he is behind 2K," no one objected or said anything to the contrary (including the dealer) and the runner went off to get the chips.

Parx does not really have a chip runner. They have a chip cart.

Anyone who has played out west, specifically the Bay area, understands what I mean.

A room the size of Parx would have about 6 of these swarming the tables at all times. Usually you are no more than 30 seconds away from chips at any time. The reason why it matters is that it makes it reasonable to hold action until the pot is correct.

As to the exact incident:

Players need to protect their equity when they are unsure.

Parx is at least partially complicit due to the dealer announcing the 2k behind. If Parx can't enforce it, the dealers need to not announce it. As a matter of fact, the dealers should clarify the situation when it occurs.

If it all went down as told, the angle shooter should be banned (again.)

Personally I don't really care if there's a Friday tourney or not but was just wondering as I was walking in why there's one 6 days a week but not 7. Let's just take Wednesday's tourney as an example. 71 runners, $100+$20 entry (in small print they tell you it's 97+3+20 and the 3 is some other bull**** expense), so they're making 20 per player, or 1420 for the tourney. I would that it's about 8 dealers for the first 2 hours and goes down from there. Something like 8, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 based on how many tables are left each hour. So they use about 30 dealers that could otherwise be dealing at other tables. Will they rake 1420 in 30 hours, or $47/hour in rake? 30 hands/hour on average, so about $1.50 per hand? I think that's kind of obvious so if my numbers are right they'd make more if those dealers were dealing cash games. I could be off somewhere in there though so let me know what you think.

that $3 is the "players fee" which is just 3% of the prize pool taken out for dealers. Every casino does it, just not as obviously as parx

my mistake, when I said "chip runner" I was referring to a casino employee with a cart with chips. Forgot there was a difference

Officially, he's not allowed to describe the person in this thread unless there's 100% verifiable hard evidence of the accusations. If that happens, please send me a PM and let me know so that we can make an exception for the benefit of the community.

But there's nothing stopping you from PMing him and asking him directly for the description.

I would be up for playing this game on weekends.

Does anyone know what the deal is about rake back or free rolls or nothing at the end of the month for X amount of hours now? I was talking about it at the table today and realized I wasn't sure what the deal was there anymore.

No promos going this month afaik

Hi/Lo games still go to the high, correct?

Everyplace else I've played, split pots (in a non-split game) has gone to first position.

1st position is easier, ime thats how most do it. Borgata n parx exceptions.

Obviously high gets it in split.

Thinking of going on Sunday, How many runners are there ususally, what time does it finish up? Thanks in advance

Not sure if this has been posted yet but dealer at my table confirmed BBJ is coming to the rake games and the poker room will not be moving to the main casino.
