the draw regs (seb,alex...) are already waiting and i'm sure he can't help himself...i would prefer some other games to rail though.

yes, this is gonna be a fun month with the PCA and the AM on top but i really hope that gus can turn things around cause he really is one of the most likeable poker characters on the circuit!

I seriously wish they would just remove all these old people's variations of poker. 2-7TD LOL, LOL, LOL. You're not 5000000 years old, please play real poker and stop embarrassing yourselves.

You are an idiot but one thing I wish is that there would be more action at No Limit 2-7 (I believe that game is only played single draw?), which I think would be a bit more interesting than limit triple draw.

As far as I can remember the only NL 2-7 recently has been Durrrr vs Sauce, and that the game was playing huge.

Actually, that game was NL triple draw at the 200/400 blinds, which played pretty huge pots in terms of bbs.

I think the fact that the game is too lucrative, leads people thinking that its hard to beat, which makes the games come less frequently. Playing limit makes it somewhat easier since they got a better grasp of how big pots are and how frequent they appear.

Does anyone even play that game for high stakes on FTP? I recall seeing Ivey used to play/sit. Aside from that though the action just doesn't seem to be there.

Isi was also playing 2/4 Rush NLH for a bit. He's probably contractually obligated to play some amount of low stakes as a sponsored pro. Now playing 1.5k/3k 2-7 with Seb86.

Well that's the only possible explanation (except busto).

Maybe Mr. Blom let a friend/girlfriend play on his account(not probable of course and I'm not accusing him of anything).

Maybe he cashed almost all of his money out yesterday and was waiting for a new transfer and just wanted to play a little before he got it. I don't know how fast you can transfer 100k and more to a site though, but he could have gotten it from a friend.

Or maybe he just plays low stakes so that fanboys/morons like us start speculating about why he does that.

I played a micro stud 8 or triple draw table the other day that had a seat reserved for isildur (he wasn't there). It's surely contractual mingle-with-the-masses stuff.
