weekly 5-10 PLO game at Venetian

[aggie]

It seems like there is a lot of interest amongst 5-10NLH players for PLO these days. We were playing a round of each at the Venetian last night which got me thinking.....

I'd like to organize a weekly 5-10 PLO game. If i could get the word out, get some cooperation from Venetian (or wherever) i think this game would be sustainable. I'm thinking some weekday night that is not a prime holdem night for the local pros.

So i've come to 2+2 for suggestions...Do you think it would be hard to get this organized? What day of week should it be on? Do you think i'd be able to get a cardroom (the Venetian) to support us?

The tentative plan would be to figure out some details and start spreading the word ASAP both on 2+2 and locally in Vegas. Hopefully i could get Kathy Raymond on board. Maybe i could get her to offer 1/2 time for the first few weeks to get the game started? At a minimum we could let all the floor and people who answer the phone know that there is a omaha game scheduled on x day at x time.....

So what do you think? Is this possible or am i wasting my time? Any thoughts or advice would be helpful! PM me if you live here and would be interested.

You won't. Venetian has a policy, like many casinos, that their managers are not to be posting on message boards. yes, I know, quite stupid, but it's confirmed as I know several management personell in a bunch of casinos.

I think he means on board like, "on board with the idea," not have her participate on this board.

Haha, quite possibly. I just didn't read it that way, lol. I figured since this was a message board, that he meant this board, but you are probably correct [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyways, it's been done with the PLO thing and it didn't last. It's just that NL is easier with more fish, that's what people want to play [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

yea, i meant on board with the idea....

You guys are probably right but i'm gonna feel it out a little more tonight and see. If i decide to give this a shot I'll let you know when and where

Trying to get variants/different games is never a bad thing. Unfortunately, they all end up being fads and eventually all the players go back to where the easier money is.

Yea, i guess the trick is to get the word out to some of true gambler-type PLO donors out there.

Grats, but the Venetian in Vegas is no where near Caesars in Indiana, rofl.

But on a side note, in Amsterdam, Holland there are regular 5/10 PL games too [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's been going a long time - my point is that I see no reason why a game in Vegas wouldn't be sustainable if you got together a sufficiently broad and deep (pocket) player base.
