Re: The Death of a Good Friend
 

this appears to be right. granted i don't play much live poker, but i don't see the action going like this very often:

pot 250: on the turn, board Q857 rainbow

sb checks, i push 300, mp calls (~350 behind after calling), sb calls (~300 behind after calling)

river 8

sb goes "i have ace high," dealer informs him that there are still actions left. mp pushes. sb shows his AT, folds.

this was very odd.

Re-read my post. I didn't say this was why I thought Colma did it, I said it was why I thought the TYPICAL state/town did it. At no point in time did I say it was why Colma did it, nor did I insinuate that it was fact.

Do you think the state of Washington had a 10, then 25, then 100$ cap (now 200, and constantly lobbying for 500 as it is at tribal casino's in the state) to limit competition? There are over 100 so-called "mini" casino's in Washington. That's limiting competition?

this thread is about lucky chances in colma, california. leaky eye asked why this law was passed that has now affected lucky chances and patrons who wish to gamble there. you gave him irrelevant speculation concerning casinos not named lucky chances, in towns not named colma, in states not named california; i gave him links to the correct answer.

The top section?
I haven't been in a few weeks, and now I'm sorry I've been neglecting poor LC.
I'm actually in Berkeley too. What are you doing here? Do all you bay-ers every have a home game? Can I come? I don't have any real poker friends only imaginary ones. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: The Death of a Good Friend
 

I am also another Bay-Areaite in search of a home game. If anyone knows a game with open spots, please PM me.

Thanks in advance.

$40-$200 spread is a great game. I played it there yesterday. Nobody has a clue. Problem is it's not going to last in its current format.

FWIW, they've dropped the blinds down to 2/3/5. It's still a fantastic game and a brutal structure, but it was playing slightly smaller than a really timid 40/80 game would.

There's nothing more fun than watching some NL putz coldcall 200 in LP hoping to outplay people with thunderous minraises.

Awesome; I'm totally stealing this for all my future minraise-related remarks.

Actually, the post he responded to was this one [ QUOTE ]
I do not understand why towns want this kind of law. What is the driving force behind the politicians who pass it?

And in a town like Colma can't Lucky Chances just corrupt it or cheat? What is their malfunction?
