anybody want to split a room saturday night?

[Witzo]

Planning on playing Fri night. Anyone play the 2/5 or 5/10 NL games yet? I'm considering moving up to 2/5 on a juicy Friday night but I'm not opposed to playing 5/10 either.
I'm just not sure if these games are better then 1/2 with a 300 max.
With 5/10 being only 100 BB's is the game actually good or is it just a shove fest? 2/5 is also 100BB's as opposed to 1/2's 150 BBs.

Any advice is appreciated, but I prefer to not play Poker Superstars Invitational push-fests for $1000 preflop if thats what the 5/10NL devolved to.

The 5/10NL is not maniacal at all. Next time I see you there (I know who you are, not sure if you know I am RJT. I said hey to you the other evening as you were walking by. We’ve chatted before) I'll give you some details. Good chance I will be there Friday night.

You will have no problem in the 2/5 and if your bankroll is fine you won’t have any problem in the 5/10.

I'm about to leave now. I'll be in a light blue hoodie, jeand and red sox hat. Come say hi, 2+2...

Will stick to 1-2 NL. My first time playing live...legally, anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I made the trip out there yesterday from Mentor Ohio and I was happy with the way the room way setup. The entire staff was very slow. They seem to be making an effort from what I saw to get it together so I think by the end of November it'll be a little more smooth. I did notice that the automatic card shufflers are in a spot where any money from the first 4 spots on the table gets hung up on it when the dealer drags or pushes money into/out of the pot.

The play was by far the some of the softest I have ever seen. I usually play 2-5 when I go to Seneca but elected to play 1-2 with the 150'bb buy in. I only played for 2.5 hours and won just under 400. There was a guy who had about 600 on my right and he left for another table after about 30 minutes. oter then him everyone had between 100 and 200 and they were some of the worst weak tight players ever. This place is a gold mine.

Are they running any SNGs or MTTS?

No, "but it's in the works". Truth be told the dealers couldn't handle a tourny right now, signing down cards, dealing with raising blinds and antes or hand shuffling.

Of a more interesting note... I found out tonight that the official Poker Room comp is 40 points an hour at 1/2 NL to 60 points an hour max if your playing a bigger game like 5/10 NL.

Sounds like a lot of points right?

it takes 400 points to earn a $1 in comps. That's right folks, the poker comp is 10cents -15cents an hour.

To confirm this I went to the snackbar and I had a whole $2.50 saved up after playing for 40+ hours in the room.
