please o please do not raise hte minimum, the fish buy in for 100 and 1/2 and reload like its there job.. i saw a guy reload 6 times for 100$ a piece

I think it is the most for views not posts... Yet

I get about 5-10 different people each day who come up to me and mention 2+2.

You don't make any sense. The minimum is currently $50 if the minimum was raised to $100 they could STILL buy in for $100... if the max buy in was raised to $300 they could STILL buy in for $100... there are many players/regulars who would like to buy in to 1-2 NL for $300, I don't see what the big deal is.

Not right now. We will not make any drastic changes to any game for awhile. We had many thougths before making decisions about buy-ins. I know there are many players for this room but when you raise the caps it hurts the local fish community.

When you mention larger pre-flop raises, many of the games have going all night from the day before and there is alot of money on the tables. This heps contribute to the game playing bigger. If you feel the game is to big or not big enough at times, we can always move you to another table.

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply.

No it is taking longer than expected. To be honest I have only had a few people since we opened even inquire about the games. The few times they have played HOSE I have mentioned playing Razz too and they said no.

We are not switching it any time soon but 10 handed has been noted for the limit games. For some reason limit players walk much more often than NL players. Especially 20-40 players.

It is one hour but a 5-10 minute grace period is given.

How about some sort of 2+2 poster sticker to identify everyone.....lol Kind of like how Full Tilt players on TV just slap it on their shirts....

Why not do both?

These were just "ideas" the players were sharing with me. I do like it though!

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this? I have 2 Cubs bleacher seats for Wednesday night. If anyone is interesed PM me... - Jeremy

Is that why it is tough to get the White Sox on the TV when the game starts, rather than in the 3rd inning?... Kidding, sort of.

LOL

We have 12 plasmas to watchs shows. When the Cubs and Sox are both on we accommodate both but there are usually more Cubs fans and we put the majority of the TV's on what THEY want on...

had another good session tonight, unfortunately it was only a good night at 1/2 and not 2/5, the Cafe food was above what I'm used to... maybe only because I got to spend half of it chatting with the cute girl that works in the lounge right outside the poker room, god I need to be single again.

** bonus fact of the day **

on the recommendation of a fellow 2+2er, took my grandma to the Keno room and couldnt get her out 3 hours later for lunch, ty

Those of you that had a milkshake issue the other day. They did get rid of them for a few days. I talked with the beverage manager and they are now available again. They are $2.50 and I've heard they are awesome.

I finally won money at the Horseshoe!!!...+$5 playing 3/6 poo for 3.5 hours!

I was very suprised at how many people were still playing, at 3am...on a Tuesday!

I'm already planning a weekend roadtrip up from school to play some lengthy sessions.

As a poker player, it's good to hear that the majority of the players are conditioned to accept losing

Go Sox!

Checked out the room, it was great. It was a little bit worse then Borgata IMO, but very very nice.

I hate the fact that T-Mobile does not get any service there and that the cards are hard to pick up from the felt. Everything else is great.

What is the phone number for the poker room BTW?

It was about 10 pages back....

can milkshakes or fiji be comped?

Thanks Jeremy. Thats all I was asking -- that you consider it.

Yes - I have noticed that several places too. Limit players do like to walk more, and are the ones who get nervous and upset when the game gets shorthanded. Even the 3rd Man Walking rule does not always help. Players figure that floorstaff will really not go thru the trouble to do a pickup, etc.

Have you ever heard of the word "Than" if so then why not use it?

Please, please, please, please, please, please IMPLEMENT ten handed seating at LIMIT tables.

Playing full ring in NO LIMIT is slow. I don't care what is done at NO LIMIT. LIMIT is different. There are more walkers and vacant seats at LIMIT.

GO SOX!

good lord. Jeremy trying to keep up with this thread is another FT job. How many times can you read about comping water, and 9- vs. 10- handed tables, all under the guise of "we're just trying to help..."

Has anyone mentioned that the felt is distracting? lol

jeremy does Amy work there? Does she have big boobs?

Bottom Line!!
9 handed is the way hold'em was meant to be played!
I can't believe that the Shoe had the stones to run 9 handed tables but it could be the single best difference in the Midwest.

If you are too scared to play short then you shouldn't be playing! The game plays faster, better, and looser.

The house makes more money, players get more hands(winning players win more), the house gets to open more tables which looks better for the room and poker economy and is better on so many levels, besides midwesterners are too fat to play 10 handed plus a huge dealer!

Besides if you get walkers don't they reduce the rake?

Jeremy, don't listen to the ring game players who want 10 players +1 ready to play over if someone needs to take a leak or get a bite to eat. If it becomes a problem I recommend tougher 3rd man walking rules and shorter player breaks. Players will get used to the difference and it will be best if it is kept 9 handed.

Canterbury, Commerece, Wynn, and Bellagio(high limit) all play with 9 handed, if Shoe wants to be the best then they have to mimic the best.
