Default Pink Chip thoughts

Played the pink chip game at Trop (AC) today for the first time. I must say the action was very good. Probably averaged about 4 players per if there was a raise. Not a total donkfest as some players did have a clue, but close enough. However I feel it was only marginally juicier than a typical AC 10/20 game (obviously one session is not enough to say definitively) which is offset by being a slightly lower limit than 10/20 (I would expect my $/hour to be comparable). However the biggest problem was that the game broke at only 7:15. For someone looking to make a good $/hr the game is just not dependable enough during the week to justify passing up the Taj or Borg. As a side note I wish the Borg would spread 10/20 with pink chips, that would be heaven... *drool*

Some of the odder play I saw. One player twice raised AK preflop and then checked the flop, once HU on a T high flop and once 3way on a flop of AJT, nevermind the button checked behind with broadway!?? So of course I thought I was good with AQ from the BB... oops

One player was kind enough to repeatedly call preflop raises and flop bet/raises with low pocket pairs in order to hit his set on the turn/river. Some people are so nice :0)

My favorite though was the guy who kept insisting the odds of hitting a flush with two suited cards were 150:1. lol

If the Trop can manage to increase midlimit action in there new room I know I'll be there much more often. I would hope they forgo 10/20 for 15/30 to avoid canabalizing games. That would also give them tween limits that the other casinos don't have.
