Re: tentative 2+2 deep stack game
About one year ago, we played a 2+2 deep stack game of 0.01/0.02 with a $5 buy-in at PokerStars (250x the BB). It made for some rather interesting play. I don't think the stakes made anyone play goofy or anything. I think we have a great chance of claiming a table if we simply join an empty one and sitting out until everyone is 2+2 verified.
IMO, the less tricks and gimmicks needed to create a deep stacked game the better. Trying to do higher limits at Stars and doing the rebuy trick sounds messy (I've never done it, but from what I hear, you have to go all-in and rebuy). Also from previous 2+2 games I've played, attempting to universally enforce the straddle was like trying to use the honor code by putting out a small stand of candy bars and a small cardboard box with a small coin insert that said "$0.75, on your honor". Invariably there would be money missing, or worse. I've never heard of Bugsy's Club or if it's trustworthy or not, but this sounds like the best option if we go with the cheapest stakes there ($1/$2 NL). Forgive me for being paranoid about depositing on a site I've never heard of. Also, I don't know if there is an empty table we can claim as our own. Anyhow, here are the three options I think work best for wanting a deep stacked game in order from best to worst: (1) Bugsy's Club $1/$2 NL (2) PokerStars $5 max with one penny/two penny blinds (3) Claiming a UB No Max table at any stakes (extremely unlikely) Garland |

This is promising to be an absolutely muderous lineup so far.

Re: tentative 2+2 deep stack game
If you do end up doing this game, can we dedicate a thread for people to post the cool/interesting hands/trash talking? I won't be able to watch as I have way too much to do, but it'd definitely be fun to see some of this.
