Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I just wanted to clarify that I am one of those regs at Parx that plays 51 out of the 52 weekends that 10/20 BigOSS runs. Contrary to what was stated in here, the players are not happy with the 2 absent rule and that is something that Parx established over 2 years ago.
When the game first started running 3 years ago, it was actually in the form of a pure 10/20 mix including draw games and at that time we were dealing in 7 out of 8 players for every game. Eventually the game turned into consistently being just Bigo and SS due to popularity and Parx management decided to convert the game into only dealing in 6 out of 8 players. Ever since then we have tried speaking to management about eliminating one of the absent buttons or dealing 4 down, roll your own in order to deal in more players but to no avail.
If you have any more logistical questions about the game or would like to be added to the 10/20 GroupMe, please feel free to PM me.
