Woodbridge seems to be the hot bed now.

Someone else has heard of the infamous high limit games in Woodbridge.

Yes I can confirm Woodbrige is a hot bed for the bigger games. Lowest stakes Ive seen was a 5-10 NL and biggest was a 25-50 NL.

there is some 1/2 and 2/5 at the odd club; I have heard stories of some NL tables where the minimum buy-in is $2k with no limit (real no limit holdem) and the players are maniacs because money is no object.

Am I misreading, or does there seem to be some sort of innuendo as to how these Woodbridge games are organized?

I had a friend that was dealing at one of these woodbridge clubs and he told me some real sick stories of how much cash changes hands in an evening. Long story short its all about if you can get on the "sheet" and how big your balls are in these crazy high stakes games.

Drugs and crime, yes.

Games often shut-down with sheets of 200-300k being owed. Cash players often cannot get paid.

Avoid.

Thats similar to what I heard from my dealer buddy. Thats some serious cash on the tables eh.

Are you serious?! I've been to a couple of Woodbridge clubs, and keep getting invited to go to others. I have heard of unwinnably high raking and badly structured tournaments, but I didn't know it is much worse.

one thing I have never seen at a club, open drugs. Don't think I would go back if that was the case. Funny coming from PokerJah :)

Woodbridge is crazy for anything to do with gambling. I worked up there for about a year in a retail store and everyone gambled. Mostly poker and sports. I had bookies in my store almost everyday either collecting or giving money. It was crazy. Even the girls gambled. Crazy.

I'm talking about the partners and some of the players in the higher stakes games, not that you would see drugs at the games.

Yeah I can confirm I have heard of the infamous "high stakes" games in woodbridge. I witnessed one of the craziest 5/5 game the other night, each pot was over 2K at least...it was nuts....

For some of these players money is seriously no object. In less than 2 hours someone was in for 4K....just shooting loose as hell.

Needless to say I stayed away from the game as the variance was way too high with people calling 300 bets with A high only to call down to the river and hit....lol

I really enjoy playing up in Woodbridge. The games are on fire all the time.
