You forgot one pro for Artichoke Joes: $3 rake + $1 jackpot vs. Bay 101 $5 rake, no jackpot.

One con for Artichoke Joes $15/$30: No shufflemaster...all hand shuffle.

Oh, and all Chinese at the table isn't so bad...[img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Default RESULTS

Thank you for participating, everyone. I just got back from AJ's. I put on a good show, managing to convince half the players on my table to straddle for several rounds. On more than one occasion there was a "live 45" on top of the "live 30" straddle. The best part was that the most clueless of the fish were practically begging me to stay as I was racking up their chips to leave. Who says live poker is boring?

I figured out that I need to write more trip reports. It seems that anyone who goes to play poker with the the realization that they are gonna write a trip report is guaranteed to win.

Good points, Garland. Although they apparently recently changed the qualifier for the jackpot to quad 8s or better! Also why are they using shuffle machines for 3/6 and 6/12 but not 15/30? Seems so backward. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well I did get pwnd pretty hard on this hand:

I open A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG, get coldcalled in three places, and both blinds come along for the flop of

J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to me, I bet, two callers.
Turn A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], yay, I bet, one caller (button).
River 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], I bet, and button raises.

As I'm getting ready to muck to his obvious flush, he pipes up and says "should I show you one card?" "Sure," I say and he shows me a 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I stare at the board thinking the only hand I can't beat is a 74, and since the 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is on the board surely he couldn't have called two cold preflop with 74o, right? So I call.

I'm dumb.
