i think for the $2 ante game you should basically play every single hand preflop, and you will make money based upon your postflop decisions.

the pot will always be huge preflop, and your implied odds will be ridiculous in just about every situation. value betting will be minimal, as you should just hammer away against the gambl000rs. bluffing is out of the question altogether.

might be an interesting game to play in, and im pretty sure that the experience would be enhanced with serious amounts of alcohol.

My parents live in Florida and I've been to the Fort Myers dogtrack to play poker there. I saw the $2 ante game and didn't play. I did play in the $1/$2 game which is exactly what you'd think it would be.

I've recently learned that they're spreading Omaha 8 there. Now that seems like it could be a gold mine with the majority of the population down there having no clue how to play the game.

I wish I could find an O8 game here in Canada, but then again, I don't want to lose my job either .

Damn, I just found out they DO have O8 tables running about 1.5 hours north of me. This could turn into my favorite thread, giving me the idea to google search.

The nice thing is when these tracks hold tournaments all these chasers come and play and you can make them pay... of course, they'll chase w/o odds so when they hit you're in big trouble.

Don't forget the 35% juice or whatever it is.

I was all excited when I found out tourneys were coming here, but it's something like $32+13. You gotta be kidding me. Add in the gas money and time away from making money playing online, and I haven't been able to convince myself to play. I'd do it for fun, but that's certainly not +EV... not compared to playing online anyway.

Stupidest thing I ever saw?

I looked at the computer and noticed I was playing Pai-Gow....
Lost $15 on the cheapie table... then moved up limits

Finished $5 up.
Well, that ought to kill the gamboooling urge for a few months

Yep, that's exactly the set up here... $32+13. Sometimes I get the itch for live poker and try to ignore the big juice.
