Bill and Mario are great guys. In fact, they all are.
If I wasn't in Az this weekend I probably would have been playing the 10/20 stud there. More stud players = more fun. I've had some very good fortune playing that game when there have been 2+ tables going.
I play twice a month, but since I'm 30 years younger than the average person playing, they recognize me. I don't know the woman who complains all the time, although I'm sure I've seen her. Yeah, the pots were pretty big all day long. It was probably the best 5/10 game I've played in years (since 2004-5 at Trop). The stud games have been much better in the last 8 months or so. Like I posted yesterday, there were five 5/10 games, and three 10/20 games going on Saturday.
Most of those guys are cool, although I've had some bad times playing there. Some of those guys are grouchy and not very friendly. Especially when you end up getting hit with the deck and start to raise a lot. I did recognize some of the regs though-old Italian guy who wears Oakleys & bucket hat, middle-aged/well groomed guy who always wears a sport coat, heavy-set black guy who turns the chair backwards, older Asian guy whos wife always sits next to him while he plays, Bill, Mario, and the guy who's really old and has trouble turning over his cards.
Also, I was playing on table 17 near the 10/20 games. They looked very loose, FWIW.
