I guess the comments at the table collectively spoke to the integrity of this particular group of 8 randoms quite eloquently.
And BTW, within 5 minutes of the next qualifying period, quad kings hit the board as HH and held up.
Like many things, what people say they do and what they actually do are two different things.
Do you think they were serious when they said that, or just trying to be poker-folksy? if the average interval of the dealer throwing his first pitch is 2 mins then most hands are playing at around 90secs. Over four minutes your denying 8 other people two or three opportunities to $$$ that they should rightfully be able to vie for seeing as they paid in just as much as you have to the BBJP/PSJ and/or rake.
Again, this is why I prefer non PSJ games...I used to play $20/40 7-stud at Commerce with dropped main rake only...but that now seems like a lifetime ago.
