this poker room is a gift from the heavens.

they're only spreading 2 games right now: 4-8 hold'em and $200 min/max NL Hold'em.

The games are as soft as any game can be.

My GF sat down at the NL game and easily raked in a grand in about 3 hours...one hand, she's got pocket AA, raises, gets four callers....flop comes AQx and two people are already all in ahead of her! One guy had QQ, so not that bad, but the other guy - the guy who CALLED the first all-in - had 33! Ridiculous.

The 4-8 game had mini-blinds ($1-$2) and was a half-kill game. I've never sat at such a loose-passive game in my life. In three hours, I was the only one who did any raising. People would call me down with as little as 3rd pair. I didn't get many great starting hands, so it wasn't like I was running over the table, but I did decide to play the kill pots very aggressively (most of the table would fold if a kill pot was raised preflop) and ended up taking down some huge pots that way. Finished the night up over $400 in only three hours.

It was a goldmine. I'm going back tonight.

Would it still have been a goldmine if you and/or your g/f lost?

Congrats on the good session.
