You described pretty much every Omaha/8 game in existence. It wasn't because you were at the Orleans, it was because you were playing Omaha/8.

Funny man!

[Torello]

I think I see what's going on here.

I have played at Orleans a few times...holdem was fairly miserable atmosphere as well...I felt it was due to the locals occupying most of the seats...

I play the Orleans a lot.
I think you (O.P.) might like the O/8 games there. They often have 2 or 3 games going of O/8. Sometimes during busy times, they will have even more.

Wow Randy, That was EXACTLY what I was thinking when I
read his post. Good observation Bro (as always).

Everyone always says how the same people (locals) are at the Orleans but I'm amazed how often I'll be in a game with 8 or 9 people from out of town. YMMV.

The remodel of the poker room is awesome and I still really dig the 24 hour Subway right by the poker room, the movie theater for breaks from poker, their many restaurants and some of my favorite cocktail girls (take care of me and my friends even when we are not playing), and favorite floor people and Brushes.




I find the hold'em games there (both limit & NL) to be pretty friendly all in all. Same with the mixed games, PLO, stud-8 and razz games that went a good part of the summer (well, razz just went a few nights but the stud-8 was to die for).



Hey, Good enough for Greg Maddux to play $10-20 there a few weeks ago, good enough for me :-)


Best of Luck

when did this happen?

and i agree w/ bav on this one. The combo between the staff/nits in this place tilt me too hard.

"when did this happen?"

A couple of weeks back I would say.

I thought I was missing something. Haven't been there in a month, maybe.

I have to second the comments about the grouches at the Orleans. The only times I've ever wanted to take a chair and beat the crap out of someone has been at the Orleans. The players are terrible, but their attitudes are often even worse. And the dealers are among the worst, outside of Binions. It's close to my office, so it's a quick jump from work to poker, and outside of the Wynn, you can't beat the parking situation. But, it's rarely worth the bother.

Even with a cocktail waitress that has a backside that makes my eyes wander to her every time she's in the room. I love that woman, from afar.

It still ain't worth the bother. sigh

Howard - didnt that only occur during the series this summer? This seems out of character for the games that are spread at the Orleans.
