Regarding security, can anyone comment on the walk to/from Federal Hill via Ostend. I tentatively plan on walking in the daytime and cabbing back at night.
Have made that walk many times up to 11pm and all was good.

Personally I don't like the table max on 1/3 and 2/5

ah.. hi

will horseshoe match tier card levels from MD Live?

I am sure Anthony will answer this, but when Horseshoe Cinci opened, they matched tier levels from nearby casinos for a couple months after opening.

A $400 or $500 cap on 1/3 would be better.

If you're going to raise the blinds for the smallest game, how about raising the cap, as well?

Agreed. But this may be something the state regulators, in their %deep% knowledge of poker, have ruled upon.

Perryville runs a 1/3 with a 500 cap.

Great idea to play 1/3 over 1/2. Honestly, I don't like playing 1/3 in a 1/2 room. Spreading both 1/2 and 1/3 in the same room is a bad idea IMO. In a 1/2 room, the 1/3 game plays more like 2/5, but with better players than 2/5. In a 1/3 only room, with a reasonable cap, lower skilled players will still come while upping the stakes enough to MAYBE make the game beatable when factoring in rake, BBJ and tip into the equation. You can beat 1/2 online but it's really hard to beat it live without the stakes being a little higher.

You think that 1/3 regs are tougher then 2/5 regs?

I think a 1/3 game in a 1/2 room is tougher than a 2/5 game in a 1/2 room. Nothing to do with regs. In a 1/2 room, those playing 1/3 are sometimes pretty decent players who don't have much of a bankroll. I'm talking about percentage of players in the game and weak spots. The 2/5 game is easier in those rooms (more weak spots) in my experience and the 1/3 game in a 1/3 only room is looser than the 1/3 game in a 1/2 room(less weak spots than 2/5). Ahhh, that's just my experience..... yours may be different. I'd much rather sit 1/2 or 2/5 in a 1/2 room than 1/3. In fact I won't sit 1/3 there..... not as many weak positions IMO.

You can't. Then all the regular smaller limit, easiest 1/2 players would go to ML. The lower cap allows the less rolled to sit in the game comfortably. You don't lose the free money with a smaller cap. Think it through, Anthony knows what and why he's doing it this way.

This is true in my experience. I also agree that the smallest NL game in the room having a 4 or 5 hundred dollar cap will scare off some players.

The Kill is available for all limit games across the board.

We are going to leave the buy-ins where they are at. I have found going any higher will hurt the game in the long run. We want to have a good quality game available at all times

Yes we will, I have a daily schedule in mind. I will not put the schedule out until about a month after the room opens.

The schedule will consist of tournaments I have run in the past. Reasonable Buy-ins, deep starting stack and quality blind structure.

He wasn't asking about the kill.
He was asking if the Limit Omaha game was just high, or high/low.
