RR, it's common knowledge about the Asian coluders up there in Blackhawk

Just like it's common knowledge that online poker is rigged, and that aces never hold up in a loose, low limit game.

While I agree that the English only rule should be enforced more strictly, I really don't think there's much collusion going on. It's just another excuse the fish use for why they are losing. Most of the Asian players are so bad that they would lose even if they were colluding. Complaining about the loose play is silly. It's the only thing that makes a low limit game with too much rake even marginally beatable. Yes, it makes for a lot of variance. That's why you need a bankroll.

Another thing... I'm getting tired of these "book read, tight game, low limit hold em internet geeks" saying how easy it would be to beat this game!

Tell you what... come on up to Colorado and take your shot fellas! There's gold in them thar hills!

The 5-5 games at The Lodge average $100-$200 a pot. It's ripe for the takin. Quit your jobs... move to Colorado and become a 5-5 pro! How much easier can it get! Take a 2 week vacation here and rake in the dough!

If these huge games are that beatable you'd have every smelly low limit grinder this side of the Mississippi campin out in pup tents next to Clear Creek in a matter of weeks - trying to get in these games. Guess what gents... it aint happening. 80-90% of the players in these games (usually 3-5 tables) are Asian - for a reason. Many a Whitey have tried to crack that nut (including myself) and all have failed.

So if you think you can do it... come on up, they'll be waiting with open arms and a Cap-u-chino... and YOU can be served up as the next Whitey Sandwich! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
