Retarded Rules At Turning Stone

[sthief09]

1. the normal time charge for 15/30, their biggest game at the time, is $6. if the game goes 5-handed or less, they start raking $2 every time there's a flop, which is more expensive. so they encourage people to leave when it gets short

2. they won't start a game unless it's full. if they get 7 people trying to start a 20/40 table with 10 unused tables they won't let the game go

3. on friday night there were 15-20 people on the 15/30 waiting list and around the sameon the 5/10 list. they started a 5th 5/10 game instead of a 2nd 15/30 game

4. multiple times they tried to get a 10/20 or 20/40 game going by calling people from the 15/30 game in addition to others on the list, rather than seeing if we wanted to make the 15 game a 20 game. instead they'd rather try and break the game that's running already

5. they wouldn't let me even start a 30/60 or 20/40 list on Friday night because all the tables were occupied

6. you can't straddle, they don't allow time pots, and you can't buy the button

7. the buyins for their regular NL game are $100 max for 1/2 and $300 max for 2/5. I think once a week they ahve an uncapped game 5/10 20 to go game but the rest of the week every game has a short stacked buy in
