Yes and no. The overs dont kick in until the flop, so you basically have a 80/160 game with a mini blind structure; assuming everyone has a button. The overs only kicks in on betting rounds (not pf) that start with all active players with buttons.

When I was activated in 2003, I played at Oceans 11 20/40 with overs and I can attest that it seriously makes the games juicier.

River is also a spade.

Re: Taking shots is fun (low content)
 

I don't understand how just calling could be that large a mistake. The flush draw got there and he got check-rasied, also there are two higher cards (set-over-set, however unlikely, the guys hadn't looked at his cards though...).

Seriously, $2,700 pot. At least everyone was having fun, and I hope you stayed till all the LAGs left.

I share your talent of running bad whenever I take a shot at a big game. It really blows and may be something to consider before I sneak into the 1/2 at Commerce.

I also play at Oceans from time to time and am now wondering who you are?

my heart just sank with you.

this game makes you cry sometimes.

The straddler did look at his cards early, BTW. That said, you gotta love any game with overs, and this one sounds like a great one. I may have to make a trip down south...

what makes you think the straddler looked early?

Re: Taking shots is fun (low content)
 

if you're taking a shot you shouldn't be playing in a game with 7 way capped pots (though this really depends on a lot of things, so depending on your situation it could be completely wrong) and 3-betting 5 people with 88. that's a good way to go broke fast
