Luxor Sit-N-Go\'s?
Does anyone know how bad the rake is on the new Sit-N-Go games at the Luxor?
The vig on those small freezeouts they've had for years is ridiculous, but one can always hope the new game will be...

Re: Security at Garden City (San Jose, CA)
Do they still share a parking lot with a massage parlor?
The place seemed safe when I played there occasionaly in the late 90's, but the massage parlor out back was a bit odd.

Re: Stud/8 in Vegas?
Is the Friday 3/6 stud/8 at the Palace Station officially RIP? The guy at the desk in August told me it hadn't gone in a year, but I played there in January so something's wrong with his story.

Re: Vegas in December.
Those Luxor is not a great room, well beneath the MGM. The only positives about the room: good scenery walking past the rail, they used to spread stud/8 tournaments, well OK, that was 7/8 years ago.

On the board, I believe they had everything up to 30/60 stud h/l listed, but the chances of that game ever going are probably good as my chances of quitting drinking in the next month.

Re: the best stud advice from Andy B

Re: crazy ante structure in Stud8 on party
The 2/4 game ante is reasonable, but the others are too high. I've never seen 2/4 stud/8 B&M, but the low limit stud/8 I've played B&M has been 3/6 with .25 and 4/8 with .50. The 3/6 had a half kill...
