Anyone interested in getting an Omaha Hi/Lo game going tonight at the Poto??

i'll be there playing 3/5. i'll play some O8 if i feel like drinking at the end of my session.

no better drinking game, imo. you get 4 cards AND they chop the pots, so you never have to fold preflop!

I'll get on the interest list and play if it runs.

Im going to have to hit up Poto, pay extremely high rake to brush up on my 1/2 game for my upcoming trip to Vegas. When does this game fill up in the morning? Im guessing you have to get there real early or else sit on a 30 person wait list.

I went this past Tuesday at around 1:30pm. 2 tables running, I called in 2 hours ahead of time and had maybe a 30 minute wait and doubled up at the 3/five game while waiting. Since they run 2 tables now, the wait isn't that bad. Someone stated earlier ITT that they are thinking of lowering rake to five bucks, not within near future though. So...wait wasn't horrible.

During the week they will try to have 2 games running - a must move and a main game. The main game always stays full by taking players from the must move game. However on Monday nights they often don't have enough players to have 2 full games so they may only have 1 game. I wouldn't think mornings would have a huge wait time but I only play at night.

During the weekend they have now switched it to 2 main games without a must-move.

Hint: If you want all the limpers to call your raise then raise to $10-12 and if you want most to fold then raise to $17 or $22.

Call in ahead of time (1-800-PAYS-BIG) and get on the waiting list. Play some $3/$6 limit while you wait - that game is full of terrible players.

1-414-847-7605 is the direct number to the poker room. Plug that in to your phonebook on your phone. Much easier.

thanks for the information. It has been awhile. Im guessing 2+2 will be my biggest resource on how to beat these games

Can you run it twice or three time etc at the tables up at poto?? Never have come across it, didn't know if it was because it isn't allowed, or people just don't do it up there. Thanks in advance.

not allowed

Saw a must-move game get up and running for about 4 hours on Saturday for... wait for it... 3/6 OMAHA 8 OR BETTER.

I never thought I'd see the day! Good for the game to see that kind of interest.

yes, it is the reason I like to play there and I have to start coming that way for other reasons so I will be playing in that game. Good to hear as well.

After I lost some money at $1/$2 NL I went back to the o/8 table at about 1:30 AM - there was only 1 seat available! There were some people playing with overs so I gladly joined in. We started with $5/$10 overs. Then a while late we got the floor to re-instate the KILL into the game. Since the kill made the game $6/$12 and our overs were $5/$10 there was only one logical thing to do - make the overs on kill pots $10/$20!

Unfortunately I did get upset during one hand because it was handled so poorly by Nora. We're down to about 5-6 players now and on the river it's heads up and we are now on overs for this round ($5/$10). I get bet into and raise and at this point I bring up the point that we should be on overs because betting was $6 instead of $10 and request the floor be called over. I have the unbeatable nuts (A389 on 24899 board) and villain had A397 so of course I want to get my whole stack in and of course our aggro Asian gambling buddy would happily oblige with his hand. At this point I notice he has re-raised me and I put $6 out and again ask for the floor because it should be $30 each instead of $18. Now here's the part that really pisses me off. Dealer somehow only says I put $12 out and owe $6 more. The lady player at the table witnessed me putting out the last $6 and confirms I did - to no avail. The betting shouldn't even be closed yet and we should be on over and I've asked for the floor 3 times now and dealer is finishing out the hand, closing all action and never calls the floor.

I made back my losses from NL so it's all good.

you have a much better case if you mention to dealer that it should be on overs as soon as he bets.
as in: "we're on overs, its $10 to bet".
villain will typically say "oh yeah, ok" and put in $4 more.
then you can raise to $20 without incident.

Having raised and putting in $12 before you say anything falls under the "action offered and accepted" clause.

he then re-raises, and you again accept the action by acting before making a clarification.
did the dealer handle it well? no.
did you handle it optimally? also no.

Wait, the same guy who was in the 8 seat when I left at 7:30 PM? If so, good lord, he was there a LONG time Saturday! He sat in the O8 at 9:30 AM!

Yeah him - he's there every week. While we were at the table did you say his name was Lee?

No, no. My reference to Lee was an older guy who often plays with his wife at the table, too. The Asian guy's name is... (Is it OK to call out names on 2+2? It rhymes with bike.)

prolly shouldn't reference names in here.

def shouldn't call out dealers by name. i know i wouldn't want people blasting me on the internet for stuff i messed up at work. if someone needs to be reprimanded, have a conversation with the floor away from the table.

Are they getting any regular weekly limit HE games going recently? thx.

So I made my first trip to Potawatomi on Sunday and must say the action was good and I really really liked the options in the food court, but I simply will never return because of one thing. The cell phone policy is absolutely ridiculous and incredibly annoying. I can understand if they don't want cell phones on the table or usage of the phone when you're in a hand, but why the hell do you have to stand up if you just want to check your email or change the song on your phone when you aren't in the hand? I found this so absurd and since I'm equidistant from Horseshoe and Potawatomi, there's just no reason to go back.

lol. it used to be worse. they used to make you check your cell phone at the door. no i'm not joking. it's the indian gaming comission. don't blame the poker room. you can't use your phone at the blackjack tables either.

the cellphone policy is pretty standard from the casino's I have frequented.

agree, very standard, and yet very gay

thats what everyone said to me, yet I have been to casinos in IL,IN,NV,NJ,FL and this policy is far from standard. You normally cant talk on your phone while at the table, but other than that, you're allowed to use it.

ya, I think it might just be enforced more at some casinos. But I do agree with you, they seem to be acting way to paranoid.
