What is the average PF Raise? Does this go up as the stacks increase?

Varies based on table make-up, but generally an open of $20-$25. Raise amount will not increase with stack sizes, rather based on the number of limpers. With 3 limpers, a BTN raise might be $35-$40 with $22 of dead $ in the pot.

not sure if still the case but 3 years ago when my buddy went to lehigh he said the 5-10 games were donk fests. said there would be a ton of bad players. not sure if thast still the case or not

Where is the Event Center located? Most of the time, I come in thru the parking garage and walk right into the Casino. Never even seen mention of the Event Center.

Walk past fish house (behind the cashier) to the right down some escalators and then at the end of the hall way

Havent played at Sands in a while. So I walk in, the first hand i am the BB, second hand am the SB and dealt QcJh. I think someone raised it to 8 with 3 or 4 callers, so I called. Flop came JJJ. Got paid off by Button holding AA, and was pleasantly surprised when the dealer announced there was only 17 seconds left for my High Hand of the hour.

Make sure next time you are in that spot to open shove flop. You don't want a K, Q, or A to fall off and kill your high hand.

May seem like I'm trolling but I've seen that exact thing happen at the Sands during high hand promos. Multiple times.

Yup good advice above. Just jam it if theres only 17 seconds left. Also, your kicker needs to play so there are 12 cards that will counter the high hand.

Nice second hand back at the sands!!!

Yea somebody mentioned that after the fact. I guess both hole cards have to play in order for your HH to qualify.

Hey Davey,

Any chance of us getting button or any position straddle, even if for a trial.

I've recently played a bunch of other rooms that allow this and it really increases the action and increases pot sizes (which is helpful for the rake).

I'm sure you would suffer through a few complaints early, but in the long run, I bet the players would like it, and senior leadership sure would as well.

Please don't do this. Button straddles are a bad rule for several reasons. They make for both a tighter and less fair game overall. They do increase the pot size, but only because they increase the blinds. And players who want to play in a game with higher blinds can always just move up in stakes.

What really needs a button straddle is the 1/3 PLO game. Haven't heard one person say they don't want a straddle option in that game.

How come none of them sign up for 5/5 instead of 1/3 then? Button straddle makes the game play bigger, which causes game to break faster, and the rec players will run out of money to play it faster. But I guess getting a "run it twice" option could counter that.

Please no. The games are good there now. No need to tighten up the loose players

I play regularly at the Sands and like it. I do have a pet peeve that they never correct.

The never enforce making people at 1/2 keep their high value chips out front. It's absurd. It's almost a certainty that if someone has a big stack of red and some black and green chips, they will have the high dollar chips either in the back of the stack or on the bottom.

Granted, it's not the biggest problem in the world, but it's quite annoying to not be able to quickly assess someone stack size from across the table. My experience in Vegas and AC has always been that dealers actually paid attention to this. High value chips on top and in front.

Playing at the Sands for years, I've seen a dealer mention this exactly two times.

that doesnt really bother me too much but youre right i never really see them enforce it at plo. last night this guy had 800 in red and no one knew he had 500 in green in the very back until someone kinda saw it and dealer finally enforced it.

Probably about 99% of the time the player just doesn't know about the rule but as soon as someone brings it to the dealer's attention it is immediately corrected.

There's always that one guy in a hundred that tries to outsmart everyone. Yesterday a guy appeared to go all in but was holding 4blacks and a few greens in his hand. The dealer was the one who said "oh sorry he NOT awww ween".

What's the significance of the 3/6 hand promotion?
Just curious, thanks
