I'm wondering if people can share locations of live pot-limit Big O games.

For example, here in Maryland for the last few months of 2016 we have been playing Big O regularly on Friday's and weekends at MD Live. Blinds 2-2 (sometimes 5-5). Also, a 5-10 (sometimes 10-25) mixed game goes where they include Big O in the rotation. Now that the new MGM casino has opened there is talk of moving the Big O game there.

When I went to Vegas, they had an interest list of 3 players for 1/2 PL Big O at the Venetian. I asked if this runs regularly and the lady told me there is usually a game every Friday night.

Both 5-card Omaha (high only) and Big O (hi/lo) are played at MGM.

5-card Omaha has been going everyday. Big O goes Friday-Sunday and sometimes during the week.

Buyin $200-$700. Blinds 1/2. $5 bring in. Max raise UTG to $15.

Agnostia, I have heard good things about the Big O game in Pensacola, Florida.

Can you please share information about the game?

Runs almost everyday. Has been a little spotty during the week lately but there have been some tournaments in the somewhat nearby area so some players have been out of town.

Has multiple tables during the weekend..

Game is 5/5 uncapped. Sometimes played with a $10 rock. Sometimes played as round and round of Big O / PLO. Fairly even mix of pros/semi pros and recreational players. Depending on who is in the game, it can get really big.

Venetian game is basically dead now. Big o occasional goes at aria or a random room if a group of visiting players start it.

Rio will definitely have action during wsop, not sure about anywhere else.

do most people buy in full, or somewhere between? just trying to get an idea of how stacks will get after a few hours of play.

I was in Jacksonville, Florida for New Years and played in a great 1/2 Big O game at BestBet Casino. The buy-in was $100-No Max. According to the regs there the game goes on the weekends.

Can any Florida high-low players give more info about the game at BestBet?

According to 2+2 user “Gunther” there is a Big O game at Players Casino in Ventura California:

“Yes it takes place in PC in Ventura, CA. And the Big O/PLO mix goes Monday-Friday for 5/5 (uncapped) and Saturday it's 1/3/5 bring in (100-500 buy-in).”

Ocala Jai Alai (in between Gainesville and Ocala, FL) has a 2/5/T Big O game... I don't recall the buy-in structure. Only played in it once when I was in town for a football game, but it was a good game. I've been told it is often times a private game, but when I went the floor asked the players if they minded if I jumped in. No one objected and I didn't know anyone there.

What are the stakes in each location? And what days are they running in each locations? Is the action regularly? Is there an app (like pokeratlas) or any sites where you can see the tables running?

Rounders in San Antonio. From observation of PokerAtlas they run the game daily. 5/5 minimum $300.

1/3 game, $200 minimum, at Elite in Houston on Fridays for the past 2 months or so.

15/30 with 20/40 kill game at Legends in Houston most days.
