Re: help on finding stud games
[ QUOTE ]
Your info about Tunica is still pretty accurate. I was there two weeks ago to play in a WPT Stud Event and played stud cash games at both Horseshoe and Grand. The Horseshoe game is a 1-5 game with a $.25 ante and almost always has one or two tables going. The Grand has a 2-10 game that I played in on a Saturday night. Oddly enough, it started with a $1 ante but after awhile the floor told us we had to play it with no ante. I thought the game would turn into a rock garden after that, but it actually remained a good game with a couple of LAGs rotating in and out. Unfortunately, this game doesn't always go off, as I went back there on two other nights and although there were 3-4 people on the waiting list, the game never got going. Supposedly, there is also usually 1-5 stud being spread at the Gold Strike, but they did not have that game going at all during the four days I was there, but I suspect that was because the demand was so high for Hold Em since they were hosting all of the WPT events and the place was overflowing with gamboolers. At any rate, although I would have much preferred a 10/20 or even a 5/10 game, the 1-5 stud game at the Horseshoe was fun. [/ QUOTE ] Hey Wahoo. Good to see you back in the swing of things. Hadn't seen you around much lately in the last coupla weeks... |

Those low limit stud games at Taj and Showboat used to be amazingly loose late on Fridays and Saturdays and full of some very colorful people...good times. [/ QUOTE ] I played a lot of $1/5 stud at the Trop & Taj (pre-"poker boom") a few years ago. Fri. & Sat. nights after 9PM or so were usually good, loose games. These games attracted a lot of blue-collar type guys, and middle-aged women. They were also lousy players, and calling stations. The no ante structure makes the game tight & boring, and these people just want to drink and enjoy themselves. They didn't want to play tight and fold. Needless to say, they didn't have a clue about ABC stud. Sadly, all these people play low limit hold 'em now. Why AC rooms don't spread 2/4, 3/6 or 2/10 stud games I don't know. I'm pretty sure they'd have a group of players willing to play these games, and keep the 1/5 going also. All of those games would be better than a 1/5 game. I wouldn't go down from 5/10, but I'd give a loose 2/10 or 3/6 w/.50 cent ante game a shot. |

Re: help on finding stud games
I think the only low limit stud game left in Vegas is $1/5 at the Mirage. I think the $5/10 game at Mirage is gone for good now. Bellagio has a $20/40 game.

Resorts in East Chicago has low limit Stud. They get 1-5 most days and 2-10 on Fri and Sat. $1 ante in both games.

Re: help on finding stud games
We spread a 1-5 game at Horseshoe that goes every day. It does have a 25 cent ante. The avarage life expectancy of the players is 4 minutes. Seriously we lost a couple players because the 25 cent ante made the game play too big. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm sure if they added a .25 or .50 cent ante at the places in AC that still have $1/5 games (Taj, Trop, Harrah's, Bally's, Hilton), they'd lose most of those players. |

Re: help on finding stud games
Do we have a zero-tolerance no-bumping rule? After two days, I'd rather OP bump an existing thread than start a new one but maybe that's just me.
