The Death of a Good Friend

this is simply about competition. the town of colma desperately wants the tax revenue generated by allowing no-limit betting, it could care less how fast gamblers flush away their lives.

Very good. Hopefully I can get back to flushing mine.

People need to read posts more carefully before running their mouths about how I am spouting off unfounded opinions.

Re-read my post. I didn't say this was why I thought Colma did it, I said it was why I thought the TYPICAL state/town did it. At no point in time did I say it was why Colma did it, nor did I insinuate that it was fact.

Do you think the state of Washington had a 10, then 25, then 100$ cap (now 200, and constantly lobbying for 500 as it is at tribal casino's in the state) to limit competition? There are over 100 so-called "mini" casino's in Washington. That's limiting competition?

this thread is about lucky chances in colma, california. leaky eye asked why this law was passed that has now affected lucky chances and patrons who wish to gamble there. you gave him irrelevant speculation concerning casinos not named lucky chances, in towns not named colma, in states not named california; i gave him links to the correct answer.

the funniest thing is that the $200 max bet applies to ALL the games (including Pai Gow) - so literally the 20/40nl and the 1/1/2nl had the same max bet!.....I was meeting a fellow 2+2er there to do some drinking and some donking in the 2/3/5nl, and people were seriously cold-calling 200 preflop....while certainly profitable, it didn't feel like NL so we decided to go down to the 1/1/2 where it felt more like NL since the max-bet is closer to the stack sizes (it's not really fun to be drunk and yell "ALL IN!" only to be told that you can only bet 1/4 of your stack).....

coltrane,

I am SO going to do this: I will have like an $800 stack or something and then when someone bets and I am bluffing I will go "ALLIN" and then the dealer will be like "max bet $200 sir" and then I will be like "WTF I want to bet $800 ALLIN!!!!" and then the dealer will say "sorry sir, house rules $200 max" and then I will go "damn that sucks" and then everyone will be like "whoa that guy must have one hell of a hand" and fold and then I will show them the bluff!!!!!!

then all eight limpers will be like "whoa that guy must have one hell of a hand" but then decide to cold-call the 200 anyway and then I will flop 992 (nut full house) and take down a moster pot as QJo and 34s chase me all the way down to the river!!!

this appears to be right. granted i don't play much live poker, but i don't see the action going like this very often:

pot 250: on the turn, board Q857 rainbow

sb checks, i push 300, mp calls (~350 behind after calling), sb calls (~300 behind after calling)

river 8

sb goes "i have ace high," dealer informs him that there are still actions left. mp pushes. sb shows his AT, folds.

this was very odd.
