Default tightest game ever!

This past Saturday, I sat at the tightest 4/8 game imaginable!

4/8 at Muckleshoot. Only 2 - 3 seeing the flop. Jeez! It took a while to get to a new table and the new table was only slightly better.

This is Ed Miller and Bernie's training ground. Looks like they've had an influence.

Not to mention that it was folded around to the blinds frequently. Sometimes 3 or 4 hands in a row. It was amazing.

wow. I wasn't there sat. Doesn't sound like a good night if the 4-8 is tight. This is a rarity there. It's usually quite loose.

Default Muckleshoot: Re: tightest game ever!

That's what I thought! You and others have gone on about the great loose games at the Muck...and that's what I expected...

Oh well...

I was hoping to apply Ed Miller's tactics/strategery [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] to the game, but alas, the cards were cold as well.

Wow sorry I was sick Sat and wasn't up there. Normally 3/4 of the going tables are 4/8 so I'd expect you should be able to get to something better. The 20/40 and 30/60 day games tend to play heads up and 3 handed quite a bit but every other game tends to be fairly loose.

The 10/20 first thing in the morning is tighter than a well diggers ass.

The looser games were probably at the higher limits. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If you were folding correctly, you probably were still applying his strategy. I was in a great game tonight. And lost. Sat down and didn't drag a pot for the first 2:15 i was there. Then went on a 3 hand run. Then sat for another 1:15+. It sucks.

shoulda sat in at the MN 2+2 gathering a few months back with Andy B, Vehn, myself and 6-7 others....

only reason that game was as loose as it was is because most of the games had 2-3 draws or discards [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] -

The hold'em rounds at Bob T.'s place were ridiculously tight, and the high-low stud rounds weren't any better. bicyclekick was the only action in that game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
