I just found this thread.
I hadn't played much live poker (except my monthly home game) in the past year because a big editorial project was keeping me busy. That's now complete so I took an evening off to go to GBH with a buddy a couple of Sundays ago, where I played HE--some 20-40, mostly 10-20. I had a bad evening (saw DieHarder there in the 20-40; he also had a bad night). Snd so far I haven't had an urge to go again. I had played at GBH semi-regularly in Spring 09, mostly in the 20-40 Omaha several game, which I enjoyed, but when I was out this time the only Omaha table got short early on (maybe that's what happens on Sundays?) and was being kept going by Poker Joe and similar nits, not the usual wild men, so I took a pass--even though Joe said to me, when I stopped by, "Oh, do join us. Short-handed Omaha is where the real action is." Sure, Joe. Thanks for the opportunity.
Maybe I'll try Brantford again. I enjoyed their 20-40 HE the few times I was out there in 09 (I got killed in my one venture into the 50-100 game). But the plain truth is I hate the long drives to either venue from downtown T.O. And since I'm finding online so much more difficult these days (though PLO
is addictive), I'm thinking it may be time to cut back ...
