Has Dewey been out there? I have seen some of his boys out there playing the 5/10 before I left town. I swear I saw him here at Bellagio the other day must have been mistaken.

He lives near Orlando. I have seen him there several times, but before July 1st. He was playing 5/10nl $100 shove lol.
I havnt seen him since July 1st.

Yeah, I've seen him several times at the Rock since 7/1. Yesterday he was at 4-8 playing $5/10 while I was at 3-9. Apparently he owns a big private golf club out by Orlando and makes the drive over to Tampa regularly to make with the gamboool.

Kinda surprised he does it regularly. Wouldn't he want to play much higher? I know they don't get games in Tampa, but I've heard there's a huge underground high-limit community in Orlando.

Saw someone on WSOP tonight that I see playing the 5/10nl game lately at HR.

How many runners/how soft of the daily tourneys at the HR?

Around 40-50 Im pretty sure. so usually only pays 4 or 5 spots.
I dont ever play the tourneys there because of rake, structure, etc.
but I look at the screen to see whats going on.

Try the silks or somewhere else for tourneys that have a better rake/structure.

bump.

too far back in forum.

THR dying?

It has been pretty dead the last few days. I am starting to be happier staying home and playing online.

Like a week ago I went at like 5am on a random weekday and there was 4 tables going (maybe 5, tops). I know that's not peak hours, but 4 tables is what they used to have before the caps went up.

Grinders, regs and degens is all you are going to get at 4am on a weekday at 5am, i'm not sure what you expect. It's not like the number of grinders, regs and degens magically went up because the limits increased.

I was pretty pissed last night, I got there at around 8p, was on the 2/5 and 5/10 list, they opened a new 2/5 table, and sat there for almost 30 minutes (the dealer who opened it dealt 1 hand) before they actually were able to fill it to 7 players. Was a juicy table once filled so I stayed on 2/5. Between 3 and 5am, the table I was on broke 3 times, the last time they only had 2 open seats on 2/5 for 5 people, so I just went home.

I thought play would start to improve, but man, I witnessed some of the worst donk calls/suckouts and terrible betting this weekend.

Nah. I was there last night. It was jumpin' for sure.

So play less hands preflop and raise more. If you think people are calling outside their ranges pop it up to $20 with top 6 hands for a few months and buy a new car.


Saw him last week and someone that my friend said was his son. He looked bored.

Anyone been playing that 2/5 plo lately?

Are you the same guy who took me for over 100 bbs when I had QQ and you flopped a set in a juicy 1-2 game last monday night?

Dewey Tomko and Randy Holland playing 5/10NL today at same table.

Was it any of you guys that were up at the hard rock not last weekend, but weekend before dressed in full tilt gear from head to toe playing 5/10? I was like wow this guy is carrying a backpack full of money. He must have had like 5 grand on the table..o_o

Actually I think that might be me. 8522 board when I had 88?

Yea man. If it was you I met you the following week and we chatted it up a bit..Won like 3-4 buyins that night.

I need poker playing friends at the Hardrock. We need a meet up. I have been grinding there regularly for about three weeks. It would be nice if I could pick out the 2p2 guys so I know who to look out for haha.

Where you been webernaut, you disappeared from the forum. lol

Yeah, yeah. Looooong story. Got involved in some not so good things. (pm if you really wanna know)

I'm back now and grinding away. Spent two or three nights at the Rock the last few weeks and let's just say the new bedroom set up I bought from Ikea and the new 60in flat screen are treating me well hahahahaha. Look for me in the dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty white USF hat on $2/$5. I will post when I go up there. I will be swamped with school for the next few weeks but I should be there soon enough.

Would appreciate any info from serious players about the atmosphere at the HR in Tampa, specifically the 2-5NL and 5-10NL. Are the tables more LAG with the new laws in effect and do you notice more "out of towners" showing up in the poker room? Just curious as to if there are good games going on at all times of the day and night that are also "profitable" games. The perspective of a reg doing 40k-80k (or higher with the limits lifted) would be appreciated.

What have you been playing at HR?

Oh, 2/5nl. sorry. Im playing a bunch of tourneys online.
