They got rid of almost all their non-holdem games a few months ago. Too bad, because their software is the best. There's still a few games, but you have to look hard. The ring games are bad because the rake is uncapped, so you almost have to play tournaments. There's a stud8 tournament every hour.

Sitting on the rail watching one of the softest looking 20 games I've ever seen and I'm 3rd up. Fml.

Expert? Nice Hand? Lucky? Results Oriented?

4 or 5 limps to me on button, I call K

. Go off 6 or 7 ways.

Flop is KK2, checked to me, I bet, get 4 callers I think.

Turn is a 2, checked to me and I check.

River is a 4, 3 checks, someone bets, I contemplate and slowly call after someone next to me says "A high good" and SB calls.

Bettor shows 44, I show, and SB mucks.

This may be dumb, but I've been wondering about it since the World Series started: why is O8 so popular at the Rio? Really never any LHE on bravo there, but 75/150, 20/40, and 10/20 O8 seem to never break and always have multiple tables going.

It's fun. It's like playing 6 hands at a time. Split pot.

In the game High-low Big O, there should be basically no playable hands which don't include an ace, which means that everyone but the blinds was playing trash preflop, so it should be a very good game.

Everyone has quads, so they split the pot.

Yes. KKQJT double suited is garbage in BigO.

I think you're wrong, there are 4 aces on the COMMUNITY CARDS.

I think KKQJT double suited is the nuts on this board.
