The 5/5 PLO game at Tulalip is good by my standards. So are the 3/5 cap NL games. Both have a lot of regulars but I don't think they are very good and there is usually 1 or 2 people that are really gambling it up.

It's a matter of perspective, however. I've heard people complain about the games being much tougher than they used to be. That must mean they used to be ridiculous. I've always had attention span issues which makes live NL extremely challenging. I have to get up every couple orbits and get some action in the pit just to keep from falling asleep.

The hideaway Monday 15\30 game doesn't run anymore. They are trying to get a 8/16 Big O8 game in its place at 8 Pm Monday. I don't think it ran last Monday. The 6/12 Horse game goes on Saturday though. They try to schedule a Stud 8 game on Wednesday. I think the chinese goes on Tuesday evening. If you want to try something different they have Pan during the day on Tuesday and Thursday. Call the room to get on the lists.

At the minimum, do this. When you do, your house representatives will be notified that you support this issue. Also, the totality of comments will say a lot about how important this issue is in general.

The next thing you should do is call or write your state senator and urge him or her to introduce a companion bill in the senate. I think we would have a little bit better chance of getting a hearing in the senate.

As for DFS, it was dealt a blow today when Rep. Hurst, the Chair of the House Gaming Committee, introduced a bill to prohibit online fantasy sports specifically. While this bill is redundant, it shows that the chair is opposed to DFS, and as he can unilaterally prevent a bill from going forward, you can be certain there will be no pro-dfs bills advancing out of his committee.

Not sure if any of you guys have seen this or not, but you should write to your state representative by following the link mentioned above in support of HB1114 to legalize online poker in Washington state.

So now that HORSE is back are they still arguing every week about what game is going to replace hold em or are they actually playing it now?

It did--I played in it briefly on 1/11. Seemed moderately juicy.

This has lasted several hours both weeks in January. Not sure about over the holidays. This game is quite good.

Yes, it's stabilized at ORSBE. Technically it's listed as HORSE so I think anyone can veto Big O and make us play the listed game which involves LHE. That happened a few months ago--I forget who it is who really hates Big O, and who else really hates Pineapple. But no veto has come up in a while.

Playing 08 and Big O H/L struck me as really silly, but otherwise a fun game. Much rather drop one of them entirely or put LHE back in the mix, but I seemed to be in the minority on that one.

Why not scrap Big O for triple draw?

Can't tell if you know me and are trolling, since I love TDL and would kill to see this happen.

Official story: It's not "in Hoyle" so Gaming won't allow it. Panguengue, Chinese poker, five-card Omaha.... Apparently those are all in Hoyle. Not sure I believe that.

More likely story: hard for dealers to learn, only 6 can play at a time so two would have to sit out each hand.

2-7 lowball is in Hoyle (just checked my copy). I agree with you they just don't want to mess with it.

You can certainly play 2-7 TDL with 7 players and still almost never run out of cards, unless it is some insanely loose game where no one raises preflop. All of the TDL games I have been in were in mixes played 7 handed.

Lil's rake now 3+3 24hrs. Midnight to noon everyday is flop a club flush for $100. So you have to pay an extra dollar for that.

Wizard's monthly customer appreciation buffet is the stone cold nuts. Prime rib + this deep fried lobster which is freakin fantastic.

Wizard's fish and chips are also legit. For $10 ($1 after comp) you get 5 pieces of fish, hand breaded not premade. Wizard's fish beats the Muck, who serves jack in the box quality fish - though Muck's coleslaw is much better.

Wizards rakes 3+3. Also their grilled pork bahn mi sandwiches are great.

Anyone playing in tulalip's pow wow series?

Wondering if this sats flight for the $235 is in danger of selling out? I want to play it but can't really drive up before saturday to buy in

I would but I'll be in Vegas for the Conference championship games. If you have a chance to ever pre-reg for a Tulalip non-weekly tourney I would highly suggest doing so. Having played them in the past the pow-series are a worth while commitment IMO.

Sounds like a last minute money grab to me.

Just a heads up for anyone who starts the game next week.

I agree it's stupid, and it also points to the underlying stupidity of having both 4 and 5 card O8 in the mix, i.e. having them back to back is too much so they messed with the order.

If Hoyle is the only limitation there are many better options.

I hope not, if so, let me know!

Seriously, I have played once each at Diamond Lil's and Hideaway, so I'm almost a Seattle regular. And I love mixed games, but think having both O8 and Big O8 but no TDL in the mix sounds terrible.

Although I think separating the stud games makes for a better mix. That was no one gets confused about which stud variation is being played, and IMO makes the game more fun as well. In Vegas there has recently been. THORSE mix, but instead of playing in that order, the stud and blind games have been alternated, never causes serious problems.

It will definitely sell out. It might not be worth the drive if you plan to get there an hour before the tourney or later. Unless you are ok with being alternate 50 and jumping in the tourney with 20 BBs.
