I'll be heading down to TI once the Classic gets going.
Maybe I'll run into you and ACG2x.

And before you smokers start bitching about how your rights are being trampled on, understand that I have to pay more in insurance premiums in order to pay for your smoking-related illnesses (not to mention the additional millions spent on asthma treatment in hospital ERs for children of parents to [censored] stupid to consider how their smoking is making their kids sick), so I don't give a rat [censored] about your rights. It's not just about your "personal choice," what you do affects others.

???? This has NOTHING to do with OP's Question but.

From playing in WA everyday smoking bans suck.

Now I smoke but if smoking was allowed somewhere inside the casino then I would not be away from the table as long.

But it is hurting the games.

Every single day the 3rd man walking rule is enforced because 4 ppl are outside smoking (yes me too but I only go when everyone is back)

The problem with the 3rd man walking is since there is a poker room on every other block most of the rooms do not have the player base to enforce the rule.

If there is no one on the list to play then the 3rd man walking rule sucks.

The good thing is after 4 ppl get up to leave for their smokes the room drops down to a single big blind. Not much comfort but it's something.

If your room has a big player base I don't see the ban hurting that much. But if it's in a place like lakewood and there is no one on the waiting list then it hurts.

Like I said at least I have the courtesy to wait untill almost everyone is at the table before I leave. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Did you mean the rake is reduced? It sounds like you are saying the blind structure changes short handed.

Smoking bans are a good thing. People will adjust. Change is scary, I know, but in the end everyone will be happier for it.

I'm an ex-smoker, but I can't even go into Casino San Pablo any more (too bad, cuz I'd like to work there). I get sick every time, because they have smoking in the building (not even in the poker room).

Good health is good for poker. Kill yourself if you want to, but don't force me to breathe it in or make my clothes and hair all nasty.

Apologies for no smoking content...

At some WA state rooms, the rake is only $2 with 6 or fewer players at the table; in others, there is only a big blind and no small blind.

The random drunk players, incidentally, get a lot more excited about no small blind than about the rake reduction.
