Yeah, I know gotta protect 6/12 oe and all that, but often I hear some of the oe players saying they would prefer just O8.
Sands is too fr for me to travel regularly but is someplace I would seriously consider on weekends for the right mix of games.
You bring up some great points. I also have some similar thoughts;
1. Parx doesn't want to spread 2/4 which is fine, but why not just make the lowest LHE game 3/6 ? The $2 chips are not good for 4/8, which never gets
more than two tables. I'm pretty sure if they spread 3/6 there would be
3 tables going solid most days.
2. 6/12 LHE might just work. The jump isn't as intimidating as 8/16, which
never did take off.
3. I'd say 95% of the regs who play 6/12 OE would rather just play O8.
Sorry, but the half kill in the stud 8 round just seems "off" to me.
4. Develop a low-limit stud (or stud 8) game. I think 2-10 is a good limit,
but Ari has gone on record saying he doesn't want a no ante game.
I think it would develop a following though...
Here's what I would recommend;
*Drop 4/8 LHE and add 3/6 AND 6/12
*Drop the stud 8 half from the OE game to just 6/12 O8 (half kill)
*Figure out if there's any interest in 7 card stud (probably not, but try),
I like 2-10 stud (or stud 8) spread limit.
