I was there in October and I recall that the Horsehoe has started a small no limit game. I think that it's something like 1/2 blinds with 100 max buy-in.

Default little bigger

by small I'm talking regular buy in is ~300, I should have clarified.

Although the game you described sounds fun and maybe I'll try it.

Whoa, that's awesome! That happens to be the exact buy-in amount for the Colma 5-5 game. You're not going to Vegas 'til next week, right? See you on Sunday at Colma! Game usually gets started around 7:30-7:45p. Show up around 7 and we'll have a drink first.

PS: When Gift of Gab shows up around midnight, we'll all buy in for another $2000-3000, since it's always good to have him covered.

I will be playing this game at the Horseshoe next week. I will be in Vegas all week long. That really is my pic, but I don't wear makeup in the poker room, and my hair is now almost a crewcut, but still bleached blonde.

Please ask for "Felicia" if you want to meet up. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Little Rant: I hope all of the little Einsteins (oh, excuse me, I mean, Hellmuths) who so looked forward to coming to the Colorado Belle and taking my money due to my "bad play," are reading this. Come get your share! That is, if you are even 21 yet. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

LOL, I believe it's $100 min/max buy-in. So you are absolutely limited to winning $100 per hand from me. Since I am such a rock, those hands won't come up very often, and I will probably have the best starting hand before the flop, and the nuts after. So you will have to play quite a few days with me to get a real profit.

I just know it can be done though, if you try hard enough, because, as you well know, there is only one way to play a hand in any position at any time. It's just like Blackjack, very rigid. You should never play a certain hand in a certain position other than absolute, 100% proper strategy. You should never, ever vary your play. Isn't that what Sklansky says in TOP? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Btw, your comments and constructive criticism of the 10/20 hand was fine. Some of the comments, however, were out of line and sounded like the people doing the criticism had never played live poker in their lives. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Yuck. I can't beat those games. I mean, I know how to, I just can't.

I dunno, haven't read it. That doesn't sound very fun, though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hope they helped.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to Vegas 'til Dec. 5, so don't think I'll get to meet you guys. Actually, I rarely play poker in Vegas anyway - you can usually find me in a drunken stupor at a blackjack or craps table. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Would you mind posting a mini-report on how the game was? Sounds intriguing.
