Bad beat just hit at the table next to me

How much?

190k~ KK vs. JJ

This is so tilting for me. Bucky can attest to this:

I am in the four seat on I 3-7 and I get a transfer to 3-6 (I think these were the numbers).

I leave the 4 seat and change tables with the guy from 3-6. He sits down in my seat, I take his. I get 1 hand, he gets 1 hand.

I fold mine and I hear from the other table....Jack, Jack, Jack...
THE TABLE EXPLODES!!! I look over and see KKKK JJJJ and I insta monkey tilt.

At least he wasn't one of the players with the quads- their would be dive teams at the Skyway Bridge.

GG 5 G's though.

And btw, that game that was at 3-8 was easily the best game I've played in since July 1st. It was 5/10 with a mandatory straddle. Everyone was deep, and there were 4 big fish in the game. I lost 1k early with QQ v AKhh on an all low flop with 2 hearts, but I ground back to even without much trouble.

I insta racked, and left.

Good job coming back.

a 2/5 PLO game finally got started with a full table at 4 am after not running the entire day

unfortunately it only lasted about an hour

How big was the average stack at the PLO game? mostly just people with $200 and ****?

He can't be worse than the older blonde guy, who pitches cards in slow motion.

In the one down I played with him today, he dragged in the pot twice and was missing money.

He also stopped play to breakout into non-sequitur conversation with a player not involved with the current hand being dealt at least 4-5 times.

He pitches the cards about 2 feet in the air and occasionally stacks the pot also. (In Hold EM). short money sometimes in the pot. Doesnt know the rules. etc.

about 15 minutes away gonna play in the 3/6 omaha game

i've been playing NL for the last 4 days and everything was going great in every sense. then tonight i decide to play my first PLO session. i get on the 2/5 PLO game running in the back and i love it because everyone's so fishy including the people who were deep. after a couple of orbits i've doubled my buy in... but FFS no dealer in there knew how to handle the pot-sized bets. i had 4 dealers in a row mess up at least one pot-bet. and even worse is the fact that they either don't care to be corrected or they are stubborn by insisting they are right. sigh... it would be a much better game is the dealers were better. especially since it's time-raked. paying $12/hr to see 20 hands kinda pisses me off.

They did no training and I guess most of them didn't see any value in learning on their own. It isn't hard. They assume sb as call and no mississippi. If some dealers wanted to earn more money they could PWN PLO and crush.

I even think we as players could request certain dealers be locked in to a closed rotation. Why not? They already have "A" and "B" dealers why not have an A+ dealer(s) who crush it and make the customers happy. When I am playing I def see more value in a good PLO dealer. An extra buck or two a hand is worth it imo.

i honestly don't understand how they can't see the value in getting good at dealing PLO. i was involved yesterday in a $3k pot at that 2/5 game. on a pot that big i'll prolly tip like $3 because, even if i sound cheap, i've learned how much over-tipping lowers my winrate. but there's enough "generous" people out there who will tip $20, $25, or even over $30 routinely on that pot. there's no way a dealer gets that type of value dealing the low stakes NL games.

Guess I need to go down and try and deal if dealers are this bad.

Bad Beat Jackpot was just hit on a $2/$4 table for $110,659.

Wow, I think like 80% of the Mega bad beats(6 poker rooms) have come at Tampa Hard Rock.

I got berated today for under tipping ($2 for a $400ish pot). Pyramid_Scam will attest.

And did anybody see the screaming match I got into tonight? lol

According to the floor, if you say "all in" out of turn, that's NOT binding even if everybody left folds to them. Anyhow, this guy ends up trying to take my money out of the pot while the supervisor is right there and then tries to say he thought it was his (obviously freerolling on scamming me) and they don't even seem to mind that much, and then he takes my mucked cards and flips them over and all they do is move him to another table.

Yep, House rules. Action out of turn is no action. I dont think any of that changed on July 1st.

Well I've been specifically told by a dealer that if you jokingly say "all in" out of turn and then it folds around to you, that it's binding. And others have heard that out of turn is binding.

I mean it makes sense since it's influencing action. If player A bets $100 and player D says "all in" before players B and C act, it's going to make players B and C much more likely to fold affecting player A's action. I was told this was one of the rules that was changing on July 1st. THR really needs to get everybody on the same page.

I know for a fact that pre July 1st action out of turn is not binding. Its possible they made changes on July 1st. Im not sure. Best thing to do is ask one of the shift supervisors. Lou(female) afternoon and James/Jim he goes by both at night.

If they rule that action out of turn is binding, then they officially have the worst set of rules of any poker room in the U.S. Imagine some drunk tourist giggles to his buddy "i'm arr in" well before action gets to them, so a regular uses it to limp-reraise his AA and stack the tourist.

Sounds like the Tampa floor wants to cultivate an angle shooters paradise.

Action out of turn is only binding in tournaments unless something changed since July 1. Saying all in, even if somone acts behind you is not binding. I have also seen people put their full stack over the line pre-flop and it's not binding until it gets to them. I have seen it fold around real quick and at the point where the person in front of them folds, if their chips are still there, its a bet.

So out of turn action is not binding?

I saw yesterday multiple people limp out of turn after failing to see a raise and the limp had to stay in.

is this offer still open? i hate driving and willing to put up half for gas.

Side note: Where are you guys finding these good 2/5 games? Ever table i've played at sucked balls with no limpers or stations but one. 4 sessions and down a half of buyin in 2/5.

The 1/3 has been extremely juicy for me though, so not so bad i guess.
