Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

For those in TX/OK...went to Winstar couple weeks back, new room is awesome, but all they were spreading is Hold Em games. Heard they were spreading some Omaha...any word on when those games actually make?

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

they had one table of 4/8 Limit 8OB and one table of 5/10 PLO the last time I went up there (a Thursday afternoon/night).

the tables were broken before 11PM, though.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Friday evening is your best bet, maybe Saturday evening also. Other games really don't run that often due to a lack of interest. The interest lists rarely have more than 4 or 5 for any thing other than Holdem and when they finally do get enough for a table and start calling names few people actually want the seat, thus they can't start a table.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

How sad. When they promised more games, I was hoping to play something besides the boring old 2-card hand at Winstar. Ah well, guess I need to get away from Texas.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

*shrug* I keep trying to put together a regular Omaha game, but it seems to not happen.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

is the 5/10nl holdem game still pretty regular down there? its hard to find a regular 5/10 or above game in the midwest... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

i've been there when they had enough players on the list to call an omaha game, but they didn't. i'm nearly positive it's because it would break one of the 5/10 NLHE games they had running, which was iirc one of the must move tables, so they probably didn't call the game because they thought it would hurt their bottom line. pissed me off. PLO is much more interesting than NLHE, and i'd love to play it with those local nits up there....seriously, i've never seen so many people limp AK and literally only re-raise with AA and KK. really [censored] with your game, and with my luck i've always got the only two LAGS in the game on my immediate left. bleh.

good for me i dont have to drive up there anymore to grind a 5/10 NLHE game, that was starting to suck.

Sirtimo: My cash game is on Friday nights and seems to be making lately, so it's unlikely that I'll be in Thackerville.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

I've been there when they had 8 players on their PLO list, and they've never called it. I'm going to speculate that one of their problems is that < 10% of their dealers could handle an omaha game. Although I've never been called for PLO, I have played O8 and it wasn't pretty. Incoming dealers would ask what the game was, wince, and say something like, "Four cards, right?" (There were a couple of notable exceptions who could really deal the game, however.)

Also, I've heard that a 10-20 PLO went a couple of weeks ago. It might have frightened some people.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

I've played O8 a decent number of times at Winstar now (all but I think 1 profitable, too!) and most of the dealers handle it ok, though you get a few dealers who stop at 2 cards and have to be nudged. Every now and then you get a n00b dealer who locks at the part of determining the low with counterfeited cards and quarters and such.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Hmm, might try to round up Karl and head up there this weekend.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

If there are enough people going up there to be pretty sure an O8 game will run, I will go up there too.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Went to Winstar for the first time this week. Nice room, well run and decent dealers.

Not the most space between tables, but I do like playing 9-handed.

Plenty of action at 1/2NL (100-200) with players constantly coming in. Lots of short-buys though.

The food was not good, and the service was slow. No alcohol, but free soft drinks.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Well, all you people who say you would play O8, let's get a regular weekly game going!

Again, Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, or Sunday work best for me.

Played last weekend. All the dealers were competent, although only one (Joellen?) knew how to send an extra chip in a split pot.

The problem wasn't so much the dealers as the kill. The game was presented as 5-10 fill kill, but nobody in management could agree on how it would work. First dealer wanted to give a leg for a scoop and a kill for two in a row. Brush wanted one scoop over $60. Floor wanted one scoop over $50. Some wanted kill to act in turn, others wanted kill to have last action. Kill was eventually voted off the table by players hoping to end the arguing and speed up the action.

It was a good game for a few hours until the action players went broke or left in frustration.

I'd like to be part of a weekly Omaha/O8 game... just not sure I want to play in Denton in someone's garage. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If I am going to drive that far, I might as well go the rest of the way to winstar. However, if something gets put together, I would probably be in.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

On Friday nights, we don't play in a garage... it's in my kitchen these days. The O8 game I'm talking about is for playing at the Winstar.

Yeah, I don't understand what management's boner for running it with a kill is. Just get the game running, even if it's only at 4/8, let's just [censored] play!

(I honestly don't remember how it worked when I played it with a kill the time before, but... I'd rather not play with a kill anyway since I don't have that big a bankroll right now.)

Ahh... I see. In that case, I vote for Tuesday evening, but will show up any night we can agree on.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Looks like I'm heading north tonight, so fire up the O8 list! Please keep it cheap, the guys I borrow from aren't going.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Count me in for the O/8 if we can get it running down here in Dallas... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Or up at Winstar or Choctaw.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Tuesdays at 7 at Winstar... Karl and I are in. Who else?

4/8 no kill?

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games

Also, if you like Pot Limit Omaha hi, we got 2 tables going last friday ($200 min, $1000 max).

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

So, yeah, LO8 tonight at 7 at Winstar. Be there/catch it!

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

How many tables are running during the week (NLHE)?

I would assume that the busiest times are Thur night through Sunday afternoon?

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

Plenty, and yes.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

plenty meaning even on a tue or wed afternoon they'll have 1/2 and 2/5 NLHE games going (not shorthanded)?

its 18+ right?

big local grinder base?

plenty, meaning plenty.

And not a huge grinder base. The games are always at least decent.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

thanks. ill be that way soon.

Re: Winstar/Oaklahoma games
 

I dunno what it's like before 6:30pm on a standard weekday, but I can tell you at 7 that there's usually 5 tables of each going.
