I agree, the tournaments and cash games are great. Just crappy dealers!

They are just shady man, i don't like playing against people who work at the same place as where they play. The candy is always stale too.

I know a lot of people that are expressly not playing because they are using ****ed up rules. Next time you are in, pick up one of the fliers that lists the rules and read carefully.

They play that a fouled hand will pay 6 units to other hands but then still compares line-by-line with all other hands and pays / gets paid for winning lines. This makes no sense whatsoever and ruins the strategy of open face Chinese poker.

My guess is that someone read the rules online and misunderstood how fouled hands are to be handled. Unfortunately, they made it an official rule for the tourney.

I'm not trying to bash the club and I haven't observed any. Numerous people have talked about it and I have heard a few stories about a few things and that is that. Maybe they all just happened to coincidentally tell the same stories, and maybe some are true and some aren't and maybe none of them are true. Regardless I should've clarified.

donniccolo, I am only aware of one situation where it was discovered that a dealer was working with another player. There may have been more than one instance of this duo working together but once it was discovered it was dealt with and they are both gone. I am fairly sure they (the club) is now being vigilant on making sure this situation does not arise again.
I previously worked at their former competitor and do not currently play there.

When I played there, the dealers all knew each other and were friends. I was in a hand with a guy who delt there and he mucked his cards. When I turned over my hand he tried to get them out of the muck because he had me beat. The dealer let him get his cards out of the muck. He took a 475 dollar pot. No one said anything about it because he was a dealer there.

I simply can't believe that a dealer fished folded cards out of the muck and no one at the table said anything. There has to be more to this story.

I have only logged 76 hours at Nick's, but I have never experienced anything that could be considered the slightest bit shady.

Yea that was the only instance of cheating since it opened 3 years ago as far as I know. The dealer was fired on the spot, player was banned on spot, and all players affected in pots were reimbursed 100% out of management's pocket. I find the story about fishing cards out of the muck hard to believe especially from somebody who has 7 posts and 5 of them are bashing on the club.

They're doing $50 Chinese tournaments every Sunday evening. Not sure what the +$ is. You may want to express with them your concern over the variation of whatever "standard rules" are.

What is the typical buy-in for the 8-16 limit horse game? Is $300 reasonable? Or is it mainly $500 - $1000 stacks?

i buy in 500. all you have to worry about is the remote chance of playing a capped pot, which is 12x big bet (unless heads up).

$192 is the most in a fully capped pot on all streets in one hand, right?


I generally buy in for less than 200. I'll probably sit with 100 tonight after I inevitably bust out of the Bounty tournament.

They've been pretty consistent in getting a 1/2 game off on Mondays around 3:30 or 4. (advertised as starting at 3). Same on Fridays.

I also heard that the 8/16 Horse on Sunday went all the way to 4am last night so that's promising.

Was a 5/10nl, 5/10plo, 15/30 limit Holdem, 15/30 limit o8 mix at tank alongside the 8/16 horse game tonight. Some good action at both
