Hilarious observation to note re: high stakes games

[MrGatorade]

At Venitian I have negotiated a $2 PP/HH when I spread 100-200+ for them. It was a total of 8 dollars an hour for BicycleKick and I to play at the Venitian HU. God I love the Venitian and they also went off property to get me some pepsi as all they have is coke. =)

Yeah, sometimes it's a little more as described in this stupid old story.

A story partially untold was the eTable's at Hollywood Park taking $4 + $1 jackpot drop in a 1/2 NL game after a single limper with no action post flop (i.e. a flop bet took down an empty pot). The goofy/best part was they disquised the fact they drop everything on the flop by postponing the graphical representation of the full drop until the turn.

But perhaps the best sick drop of all could be found a few years back at Commerce. Let's say you open raise in 3/6 limit holdem game and the blinds fold. The Commerce dropped the full $3 regular house drop plus $1 jackpot drop (i.e., the entire posted blinds). The open raiser gets his money back.

The good thing about sick drops at California low limits it that they sort of nit-proof the games.
