BB cracked tday at 24kish. My buddy, who btw, this was his second time ever playing in a casino, and I were playing early this afternoon and a hand comes up where it's basically checked to the river then bet, raise, AI. on an AJJxx board, seat 6 flips over AA, and then my buddy flips over JJ very calmly. He really didn't even know what had happen until the whole table erupted in screams. Loser got 11.5, my buddy got 5700 and 6 others got 980. It took almost 2.5 hours for them to get the paperwork done and get paid.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

Aces full (both cards used) losing trips the BB jackpot?

Aces full of jacks or better takes it, smaller pots but it hits more often. I like that better than WV rooms, four of a kind or better beat with both players using both hole cards, almost impossible.

Mountaineer is now Aces full of Kings cracked with AA in hand.

Can cash play in the 1/3 NL Games? And if so, can it be played past the 300 max?

uhuh

Cash plays if its $100 bills, can't add on cash past $300 max but you can "aquire it" by selling chips to a player. If a player wagers his $100 bill the dealer will change it to chips before you can collect on a winning hand.

If the player that wagers the Benjis bet isn't called, he can just take back the Benji w/o it being switched out for chips.

Still almost impossible, only situation where you could win would be for you to have AA and the other guy to have KK, barring some crazy str8 flush situation. Odds of nut boat and quads in the same hand are minimal, odds of nut boat, quads in the same hand with both players using both hole cards are astronomical. Ive lost with a nut boat to quads before, had 99 board 93388, lost to 88, but A full of K or better beaten is tough to come by. Not complaining, just saying you better have your rabbits foot with you that day, lol

The best was some place I saw where you had to have 8888 or better beaten. If you had quad 7's and lost to quad 8's, it didn't count. Totally absurd.

BTW, I know someone who plays maybe 2-3 times a month max and he was at a table that tripped it one time. It might not mean anything to anyone else, but it makes it seem more possible to me.

No, offense or anything but that kind of logic is absolutely absurd. That is the kind of thinking that keeps slot players playing until they've blown their life savings.
Just saying...don't take it personally.

It depends what you mean. I didn't say that the BBJ had anything close to a positive ROI, just that I've known people who have hit it. The point I was getting at was that it's not "astronomical" in the way that something like powerball is, though I would never suggest playing poker just because you might hit it.

Another great weekend, the 10/20 O8 with a full kill was a lot of fun, at least until some clown decided to call surveillance over $75 (the low was accidentally mucked after being tabled but everyone saw it except allegedly the guy with the high). Don't think $8 a down is the right figure, but still great action and enough bad play to keep it winnable.

2/5 is still juicy, even a month in. Managed to get an entire buyin in on the flop with the nut straight against a naked non-nut flush draw (and hold). Loving the action so far, seems a good bet it will stay busy.

Yeah, I dont think he meant that people should rush to the tables because some casual joe hit it, just saying that its possible. When I said astronomical, I didnt mean powerball crazy, I meant more like royal flush type crazy. Ive played alot of poker, been playing for about 8 years regularly, seen literally 3 to 4 million hands if I had to guess between live and online poker, and Ive never hit a royal flush one time yet. Ive had my nut fullhouse beaten by quads twice in 8 years, and once I beat a nut full house with a str8 flush, but that was in omaha. Something like the bad beat jackpot is pure odds, you have the exact same chance on every hand, just like dude was saying about slots players, your odds dont really improve by playing longer. Will I take it if its there, yep. Will I be hoping for it every hand dealt? No way. It is nice though that you could win it with aces full of queens or kings, i havent researched, i will, but i bet that improves the odds drastically over having to have aces full of kings beaten, or we might as well say quads beaten.

Just in the interest of correctness - you're forgetting the other two cards, e.g., AA vs. 66, AKK66.

Oh man I lost 1200 in that death trap of a omaha game i could never make a hand. Not sure I was still at table when the surveillance got called, but the Stetson man tuned me up all night. Then I went to 2/5 got unstuck there the 1200 from the o/8 and then get 2 outtered in 3500 pot what a ****ing night.

i was there friday, actually seemed kinda slow to me. they didnt have every table going at 8 pm and the 5 10 game didnt start until 730. i walked in at 115 or so and walked right into 2 5 with no list and only 8 on the table.

with all the universities in the area, i think its quite possible that it picks up again in septemer once everyones back in class.

How often does the 10/20 O8 game go? That sounds awesome

It was earlier, you probably took my seat. Stetson man wasn't there yet.

I was there until 11:30, and there might have been two to four tables open from 7:00 on. The 2/5 was a low list because the higher limit O8, the PLO, and the 5/10 were running. Also, they were doing a must move on the 2/5 to keep the list down.

What days does the Omaha Hi/low 10/20 game go off?? Just saturday's?
What time do you have to be there to get in?

i think this is the first time there were any tables open on friday when i left. i have been there every friday since it opened. i would say still decent turnout but it was a little slower then the previous fridays.

friday was the first time it ever went off, i was gonna play in it, but decided against it (was only gonna be there a little longer and didnt wanna get involved in that game for just a short period of time). i think it ran at 530.

they did a good job pushing that game, they also pushed 20 40 limit the friday before and got that going.

people r willing to play these games sometimes its just as much as looking at the list and seeing 6 or 7 names.

this doesnt really apply to 1 3 games, but i was wondering for people playing 2 5 or 5 10, does it seem like more and more players are coming in for 2 or 3 hundred and taking a shot (5 or 6 at 5 10)? maybe its been happening since day 1 and i really havent been payin attention, but i do wish they would make everyone buy in for the max the first buy if they want to play a bigger game. if you dont have 100bbs i think you should be put at 1 3.

All due respect, but in my opinion this is bad thinking. And in my opinion no self-respecting poker room should operate in this way.

If you are a good poker player, you want these people at your table and not someone else's. If you don't have a counter for short stack strategy, avoid playing pots with them, but you want anyone and everyone to feel welcome playing the higher limits no matter how much they choose to buy. That's one of the reasons why there's a table minimum and table maximum.

The Rivers, like any other casino, should make sure these casual gamblers taking shots feel as welcome as possible. Telling them "this game's not for you" will send them right back to 1/3, 4/8, or craps. That does not build a room, it makes a "boy's club." I sure don't want that.
