IMO best day is prob Wednesday or Friday, with compensated game starters in the first couple months, and prob something like the 5/5 500-2000 structure. If that fails to get a consistent once a week game going by the end of the year, I'm just gonna assume all the indian casinos are doomed to get a consistent game bigger than 1/3.
I wanna eventually see that mix going at Jamul but the guys who like to play mix also enjoy playing PLO and PLO at seven mile has been truly crazy lately, so mix ain't happening until PLO slows down.
If we can't get Saturday to run, we can try another day. Players just need to let us know which days work best for them. Also, if the $5-$10 is too big we can always push for a regular $2-$5 game ($300-$1000 buy-in) or our regular $5-$5 game ($500-$2000 buy-in). We are committed to bringing in bigger games regularly, but we will need everyone's help to get them established. Wednesday nights have been brought up for several players as well.
We had 8 players who got on the list, 3 showed up to the casino and the others were just waiting for us to call them if the game was going to go. If we are going to get the games to start, players have to come in and be willing to play a little short to get the game started. If we had every player on the list show up, we would have had a full game plus a few other big names in poker were willing to come down from LA to play but not if they weren't sure the game was gonna hold for them to drive 2 hours to get here.
I really hope we can get everyone coordinated and get this started, if we establish a larger no limit, it will easily open us up to have PLO and mix games here on a regular basis.
