Luxor 1/2 NL - Average Stack Sizes?

pismeyer · #1 12-22-2006, 09:29 PM

I believe Luxor still has a $50 minimum buy-in for the 1/2 NL game.

What's the average stack sizes in a game with everyone push-botting all the time?

What times of the day/week are prime for joining the all-in fest?

Friend of mine is heading out after the new year and wants to play "cheap".

Go easy on him guys... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

We got $500 stacks on what seemed like a particularly donkish night. Expect a hassle to get a breakfast comp, and you can't straddle, no matter how many times you ask.

It is $50 MAXIMUM, not minimum. When you dip below $50, you can buy an additional $50, so it is really a $100 max.

Once the game ie established, it is usually around the $200-$300 range, but that obviously varies greatly.

i really dislike this game. the few times i've played it, it's like a crazy mesh of tournament/cash poker

The floor people usually hint at the fact that once you dip below $50 you can re-buy another $50 and that by tipping the dealer you would technically fall below $50 and could rebuy.

This is without any doubt, the WORST room in town, if not anywhwere. I would never play there again, even if they gave me comps for life.

They rake a bonus, yet it is so poorly redistributed it's ridiculous, disgusting, bordering on unethical. Other rooms have close to $3,000 avg bonus for a royal, where at the Luxor it's a couple hundred? $1000 max bonus for a bad beat?

I asked the dealer about it, and he said they do lots of promotions and freerolls and crap--if you put in a lot of hours. "It's really good for local players," he said. Bonuses aren't good for any good player, regardless of where they live.

There are no auto-shufflers.

The floor put 11 people at the table and said, oh well.

It's loud.

I put in my one time there, got my Luxor chip, and will not return.

Abysmal rooom.

My exact feelings as well. Got the chip, played some poker, and haven't been back since, for many reasons.

Also.. they have 3 blinds.. at least the last time I was there they did... 1/1/2 at that 50 NL table.

They have at least three blinds. I actually played a hand with three $1 small blinds and two $2 big blinds at a seven-handed table. It had something to with three guys all coming back from dinner at the same time. I got to be the BB twice in a row. It was fun.

They will make it a regular 1/2 game 6-handed if you ask.

i will say one thing in defense of this room since no one seems to like it. this was one of the first rooms i really liked when i started playing live poker a few years back. they had a 2/4 game and fantastic drink service. the floor used to be really friendly and personable too. i guess it's changed for the worst according to everyone here.
