You gonna super ball when you win this freerollament?

How did he end up?

I lost AK to AQ AIPF for about $65,000 in equity to bust 17th. On to the next one.

What is the latest on live PLO games? Locates, dates, stakes, and rakes?

GG. You playing tv this weekend?

I'm in Vegas for the summer.

Good luck. Bring home some gold!!

what tournament is thunder valley having this weekend?

I call Casino Royale, Capitol, and Thunder Valley at 9pm tonight and there's only one 2/5 game running between the 3 Makes me sad

Am I the only one who thinks the chips at Thunder Valley are ****ing disgusting? Those are the dirtiest, stickiest chips I've ever seen! Nearly every one had visible grime on them that I could scratch off with another chip. They need to do something about that.

1st Saturday of the month so it will be a $250 buy in. 1:00 pm start I think.

Thunder Valley had 2 - 2/5 games going and 4 - 1/3 going when i left at 5:30 last night.

confirmed chips are digusting.

Couple new promos at Casino Royale:

1st: Aces cracked on graveyard (12 am - 8 am) gets to spin the wheel(s). First wheel pays up to $35 and you have a gives a chance to spin the big wheel, which has a max payoff of $1,000.

2nd: Another BBJ: $1,000 all the time. Any Aces full beat with both hole cards playing. The usual 40%/20%/40% payoff.

3rd: 4/8 Limit Holdem: $100 for $60 for the first 9 in the game.

They all seem kinda meh. I guess the limit holdem part is good.

They're still doing the 150hrs for 500$?

Yes there bad, but I've yet to see a room that has clean chips

Cordova Casino has reduced Super Jackpot from 145k to 75k is this even legal?

They register with the state as a house funded jackpot casino ..gives them total freedom to do what they want. They are NOT dropping a dollar for the jackpot even if they have a seperate jackpot slot ..It's all a trick.

Yes

I gotta say the dealer quality at Thunder Valley is pretty LOL. One girl there deals maybe 15 hands an hour on a good day. I had another guy say "you forgot me sir" after a pot because I didn't toke him. Wtf?

I hate finals, won't be able to hit the tables until next week. Any 2/5 Thunder regs in here, because I'm thinking of moving up soon and would be cool to meet some other local 2p2ers

Any FLB regs here? Sean, dealer from there, shipped the first bracelet of 2011 in the employee's event. Pretty sick.

I live by limelight, which is next to Mckinley park and East Sac. Fab 40s some of the ballerist houses in town. Granted downtown is only a few blocks away, but even thats not bad.

Always a cop by Limelight too. Im not worried about it

That very sick, I play there now and then on the weekend.

the phonix is having a 1000 dollar added tourney evrey saturday,anyone ever play in one of these yet??someone really need to step up and starting having some better mtts in this area as there is not one good series or tourney i can think of in this area.

Just got back after busting the $250 20k at Thunder Valley, and I feel bad for not saying something to the poker room director about the structure. I don't mean to complain because the place is relatively new and is not a "poker casino" but the structure is flat out terrible.

7k starting stacks, 30 minutes levels, NO ANTES? wtf
25-50
50-100
100-200
200-400
300-600
500-1k
1k-2k
1.5-3k

I busted at that level but I'm assuming the next level was 4/8k. Avg stack was 20bb by level 4, and when I busted it was about 12 with 50-60 players left. Point is that isn't much bang for your buck. If they structure it this way so that it plays faster and doesn't run all night (11am start), then why don't they just add antes and, oh, I dunno maybe an extra level or two somewhere in there? Huge blind jumps for such a shallow stacked tournament. First live tournament I have ever played that did not have antes and nobody could tell me why.

What I did like about the tournament was the turnount- 146 players, 16 paid 9.7k to first. Not bad for an anteless turbo
Please fix this for next months tournament!

I don't disagree with any of the above.
I'd urge you to compose the above in a e-mail to Ben E., room director. He will respond. Send it to TV on their contact form:

Some thoughts- 146 players, and they have 18 tables.....OK, they are not looking to grow this one anyways. Even after the new room expands in July. They barely have enough able dealers to get thru this amount of play.
I can't see them adding antes anytime soon, and I wish they would as well. For a number of reasons, antes are good for the tournament, and help the better player out ITLR. This room, and several other casinos, are "anti-ante" , and don't get the concept of losing some chip utility with early color-ups.
I wish they would take the deepstacks structure and lay it over on all the $250.00 buy-ins now. They cut the depp stack from $500 to 250 anyways, since it was too rich for the area. I think a $500 could work if they ran satellites for it, but they haven't visited that anyways. (table space on Friday-saturday nights a problem? perhaps) But since they cut the $500.00 to 250, just use that structure for all 250s. (10k chips, 30 m, 45m final table.)
Ben may read this forum now, since I talked to him about it regarding some misinformation on here in the past. But I'd e-mail him anyways. I wish I could play more on weekends, but habve only played a handfull of weekenders at TV

lol at having an mtt with no antes they should fix this asap,i was going to play in this and im super glad i didnt because structure is straight joke.
