^The point at which I was officially done with this one.

Next topic, please. A/C too cold, a bad ruling, an IWTSTH argument... anything.

it was a little chilly in the room yesterday

Apparently they aren't allowing $500 chips to play in 2/5 this week. Maybe next week they'll change it back.

I was involved in an incident last week, where I shoved the turn for 600, one being the 500 chip, after V donked 100 only to get snap called by a lesser hand.. After the hand finished the V complained that 500 chips don't play, he didn't see it, the whole charade..floor was called, all of the floor, it lasted about ten minutes and then finally it stood and got paid, but I wonder if that has anything to do with this new ruling.

who said this? no way this can ever be a rule

2 different dealers (1 who is a dual rate). They made change for me then had a floor get the fill. Another guy tried to put 1 on the table and the dealer said they don't play in 2/5 anymore.

I'll confirm with a floor tonight.

Speaking with a floor right now, rumor is false. As long as the chip is visible and not snuck on table etc etc they ARE in play. Apparently there has been some confusion lately about chips being hidden etc. Chip value doesn't matter 1k chips etc will all be usable.

Cool thanks. I wouldn't call it a rumor since it happened to me 1st hand. More like inconsistency with staff. Surprise surprise.

Yeah more like speculation and miscommunication, didn't mean for it to come off as if I was accusing you of making something up.

i suppose anything i say here wont change your mind.

keep crushing!

I'm cringing thinking about 12 hours of 1/1, but it is true if there is one SUPER jump in player skill it's prolly 1/1.

It's too bad the THR never had ten handed 1/2 and higher and had people on this board who played it so we could have some real data about whether 10 handed games mean bigger pots. Uh oh...gotta go. Wife yelling at me...period.

rumor for sept promo 200.00/every 30 min high hands. once again all NL player money going to Omaha & H/l players. absolute joke. Tom also says maybe 2.00/hr for 2/5NL and up but all he's been doing is blowing smoke for 6 months. Little slick coming back mid September with another tourney series in Oct.

I really don't understand how you regs can be upset by "inequities" of high hand promos. Are you really playing to win high hand jackpot money? You'll make a lot more profit by not doing so, and by taking advantage of the wrong play of those that do. Let them play their small pairs and suited connectors to large pre-flop raises, chase their inside straight-flush draws, check down their sets against straight and flush draws, etc. You'll make a lot more off of such mistakes than you would from hitting the very occasional $200 jackpot. It doesn't matter that most of the high hands will be won by the Omaha and Limit players, as you should be shipping more "player money" than you would ever see from hitting high hands even if they were exclusive to NLHE players.

You should consider editing to avoid CoC violations.

Yeah wtf man edit those names out. I'm on my phone using the old app so not gonna do it myself.

The $2 per hour for 2/5NL has been circulating as a rumor for a few months and would be great,if it actually became a reality. Little Slick in September,One week Deep Stack Series in October and a Multi week series of tournaments in November from what i have been told.

This is an open question to all the 2/5 NL players out there:

How would you feel about the minimum being raised to $300 from $200? and What percentage of players would leave 2/5NL as a result?

Thanks

It's my understanding that even speaking with the poker "director" in Tampa is a waste of time. I've been told that all decisions have to be approved by unknown person(s) in Hollywood.

Increasing the min. would make for a better overall 2/5 game, IMO. Not sure what percentage would leave or drop down to 1/2.

Played in Biloxi this weekend at the Beau Rivage. Absolutely loved that all games are uncapped.

I was sitting at a 2/5 table the other day. Table was soft, mostly weak tight, a couple of old man coffees, and a couple of 2P2 types. Pretty normal, nothing special.

Player at table, who we'll nickname "Phil Helmet" (no relation to real name), gets in multi-way pot and loses to a rivered flush, standard stuff. Phil Helmet then goes on to give speech that the player who rivered the flush didn't have odds to call, had no implied odds, didn't play hand optimally, shouldn't have called PF because STP ratio was not favorable, etc., etc.

Phil Helmet then mentions to a couple of us that he's going to post this hand on 2P2 to get comments on his bet sizing. Very loose weak tight player overhears conversation and asks "what is 2P2"? Another player, who is in almost every pot, then asks what are proper odds to call down with a flush draw. I say something like "you should always call down with your flush draw, flushes hit all the time". Another player, who I believe is 2P2, says that 2P2 is a stupid forum that has some poker related stuff on it that nobody reads because it's too boring.

Understandably most of them will not bother to try to get better let alone go to 2P2 to study and get information, but why try to educate?

The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.

I would say this is my biggest pet peeve at any poker table. We are not there to educate! Why explain what a "bad move" is when you are still at the table? I can't stand the mentality some people have to prove they are right and the need to lecture... I don't know about you but I am there to make money off of the uneducated.

Well put. The strat talk at the tables and the lectures to the bad players about how bad they play is so -EV. If it gets pervasive enough I'll usually try to change the subject. I hate it when players that are being berated tighten up or in some cases pick up and leave, so bad for the game.

I think $300 would be a good minimum, but definitely not any higher.
