He says that there is a loophole in the NL provisions of the law that allow these higher limits for holdem but not omaha or stud. He says that they studied the law pretty carefully -- at least as much as we have -- and that they have already cleared it with the regulatory folks that could object.

I thought it was was off when I heard it too, but I certainly wasn't going to tell him that I thought it was wrong. I think it's great that he's going to try it.

He also said that the law is only going to provide for $100 min/max NLH. I tried to argue what we discussed a few weeks ago in this thread, but he said no ... that they talked about it and decided that this is NOT what the law said. I didn't agree but it was going to be fruitless to try to argue. They have picked their battles, and IMO these are unique angles that none of us have even thought of. I hope that they read this stuff because I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I do believe that some track is going to push it and try to open tables without a max buyin, or at least a max in excess of $100. I just don't see where this is restricted by the law as passed. But SKC isn't going to be the one to try it, at least not yet.

I got the impression that at SKC they were really going out of their way to listen to the players and take an expansive view of the changes so as to make us (and them) as happy as they think they can. It was a positive experience to talk to the guy.
