Trying to get a PLO game going at Lucky Chances?
 

I am trying to get a regular PLO game going at Lucky Chances in Colma/San Francisco. Are there any players here that are interested? If so, go down there and sign up on the board. Or call it in.

What structure should it be? I talked to the manager there and she was clueless about what the structure should be. I was thinking 2/4 blinds with a 80-min/300-max buy-in. This should be a small enough structure to sustain a decent game for quite a while but big enough to make it interesting.

I heard that there used to be a regular game like 2 or 3 years ago, but it dried up. I heard it had 5/10 blinds with a big buyin.

Thoughts?

Where do you sign up to show interest?

Sign up on the Big-Games board, there should be a hand written list for Pot Limit Omaha. Ask a floor person if you don't see it. Or call the poker floor and have them sign you up.

Does anyone think that this game will actually get started?

I think it depends on the buy in. I have always preferred PLO to O/8 (although I am rather pretty terrible in both cases) and would like an alternative to hold'em. If the price is right and I have the option I will definitely play the next time I get to LC.

I typically play 20-40 there, but would try pot limit omaha if offered

Once there are enough players, we can advocate a smallish capped buyin.

I also play the 20/40 hold'em most of the time, but would really like to mix it up a little.

Does anyone think that casino management is making a mistake if they don't allow this game to start? I think that they lose a good game that might last forever, just to cash in on the hold'em craze.

I guess they might be too lazy to educate their floor and dealers on how to run PLO. Pot-limit is a bit confusing for most of those new and old dealers, and the players will basically have to police the game themselves (regarding bet sizes).

I really think this is one of those games that can run through the night and make them money during the graveyard shift.

I'll put my name on tomorow if it's still going.
