No more baby NL at Trump, IN

[casinogosain]

Thought others would want to know -

The Trump, IN management realized that the baby NL game ($2/5, $200-max) was hurting their bottom line by drawing players away from the $5/10 and $10/20 games. Apparantly, a number of fairly regular players (e.g. 4-5x/week) were now losing big in the NL game and only coming back every 2-3 weeks. So, for now, they only spread their big NL game ($5/10, $400-min, no max).

While the big game is still fairly soft, the baby game was an ATM.

I'm both happy and sad to see it go. I played in a couple times, and it was an ATM indeed. However, I did feel it was hurting some of the other games. God bless the shot-takers with their $200 buy-ins.

This is very common. This is why many rooms wouldnt spread small NL for many years. California poker rooms learned this many years ago. However, from what I have heard recently, these same rooms have done structures similiar to Party with limited buy-ins and have been successful. They havent broken the poorer players as qwickly. NL games bust the live ones too fast. The better players crush them.

Funny thing is how many poker room managers really have very little knowledge of the POKER BUSINESS. It isnt just about having a dealer and spreading a game and taking the rake. Those that learn the business are the ones that make rooms successful. A successful room is good for us all.
