NL Holdem at the Muckleshoot?

[govman6767]

Casino's are not charging time. Some of the bowling alleys with cardrooms are charging time but the players deal.

And tualip does run a No Limit Texas Holdem: Yes (sort of, max bet $500)
$1/2 ($200 max buyin), $2/5 ($300 max buyin)

This is about some of the average NL games you would find in Vegas or AC.
So ONCE AGAIN tribals can spread NL games it's just the masses in WA are ignorant to the diffrences in rules between tribals and mini-casinos. And this is what's keeping us from starting our NL game at the muck.

If you've ever played an actual no limit game, there is a quite a difference from real n/l and a spread limit. Especially when you have about $2k+ in front of you.

It's not like they've never tried to start a game at the muck. It's not like most regular players(Lil's and mucks) haven't heard about the Tulalip spread game. Many play both. For some reason, even on busy nights, the game never takes. Usually stops with about 4-6 players on the list. However, one thing that might help is if they showed it more prominently on the board.

Ok dude how many RARE occasions does a 1/2 NL player with a 200 max buy in get up to 2k.
RARE RARE RARE

2) the ONLY casino I know of that has a 1/2 NL game with no max buy in is at the horseshoe

If the player does have 2k YES your right he can only bet 500.... but odds are if he has 2k in front of him odds are 90% of the table won't have the 500 to cover his bet so from a "technical standpoint you are correct" from a practical one just call it a NL game.

Actually I don't care This thread was started to see if we can get locals near the muck to get a regular NL game going.
I hope you live near us and would be willing to join.

The player pool(and player turnover rate), imo, isn't deep enough to really support alot of mid limit spread game action for a long time(the pool isn't really that deep for 20-40). Especially in multiple rooms.

Last year the week of Christmas I was in town to see my family, and my wife and I managed to get down to the muck with my brother. As an aside the was the first and only time I've been to the muck, as I moved away from Seattle before I started playing Casino level poker. It was probably the Friday night before new years. I played in a decent 7-handed 50-100 game while I waited for my 10-20 seat so I could play with my brother (his regular game). I actually wanted to stay in the 50, but I was there to play with my bro. On to my question; is the 50 a regular game at the muck? Is it still spread? Did I just luck out and happen to show up when an unusually high game was running? I'd actually like to play the game again one night when I'm in town next time.

Bernie,

While you are technically correct, especially about the larger buyin games, the 100-200$ buyin 3/5 nl game plays like NL about 97% of the time. I've run into problems with the max bet / seen a problem with it in that game only a couple of times. Too many people buyin for 100 / lock up wins / switch to the bigger game for you to get a few stacks that are deep enough for it to matter.

They actually do still have the 50-100 (with 100/200 overs) on Tues & Thurs. Apparently it can get quite juicy at times (heard about a woman last week burning through $17K with action that sounded more like a typical 3/6 game)

Yeah, it can be a sweet game. If that chick is who I'm thinking of, I heard she left the room in tears.

Once in awhile I heard they move it to Tulalip. But it used to run on Tues and Thurs regularly. They seem to run a 50-100 quite often, though. Not sure if it runs on the weekend. You can always call and find out if one is going or if any names are on the list for it.

Sometimes they'll have a 200-400 game going. But not as often.

Hello, I am new here (as of about a minute ago). I would play a NL game at the Muck. I used to play online before the law change and now I have been playing a bit in local casinos. However, I only play in the tourneys becuase I can't stand limit games. I know a lot of guys that feel the same way I do. I probably would only play at the Muck once ever couple of weeks though.

[The Comish]

By the way, I was at the Muck for the first time last Tuesday for the "double stack" tourney. I got there 30 minutes early and it was already full? Is that typical? Do I need to get there right at 6:00 to get a seat?

While I was there I watched the first level and saw the funniest thing I have ever seen at a poker table. The dealer was seated between the blinds. The dealers deals to everyone and the big blind must had forgot he justed posted his blind. He thought he was first to act and he folded. The table then folds around to the small blind who must have not seen the big blind fold becuase he folded too! But becuase the small blind was last to fold, he won half of the big blind. The big blind folded before anyone else and got half his money back! The small blind folded but doubled his money!
