    Interested in this for the future, what was the rake and what club was it? Structure? PM me if appropriate.. Thats if you're not encased in concrete as yet...
  • Wetts1012Wetts1012
    It has a very strange structure.

    There is lots of play early.

    Then it turns into a super turbo in the mid stages - at one point the blinds go from 1K-2K to 2K-4K.

    Then it slows down completely and there is lots of play.

    Very unique.

    not sure if he was dogging your play here but just a thought on something i love about poker. lets say he was calling you an idiot. his play was standard, if it was heads up his call is pretty much correct every time against your short-stack shove. your play was standard and correct too, but if he gets mad and says your awful and a donk not only his he ignorant and wrong, but he just gave you all the information you needed to have on him in one hand and meanwhile he still thinks he out classes your skill.

    unreal some can, no doubt, play the game for so long and still not know the single basic concept of it

    Old dogs don't take in new knowledge. You can't teach an old man to poker. A mind open is a man's world and a closed mind is a poker tomb...

    I know there's a saying for this I'm just not getting there. wish the sun would never come, it's 4am and you are done. I hope you know yourelettinggoits4amandImalone

    4 am is pretty late though, I should just call it a day for now

    Thanks again for showing me this game Darryl. Had a good time, but not as profitable as you did. After busting out of the tourney with about 14players left, I signed up on the 5/5 cash waiting list. Managed to make my tourney buyin back plus abit more.

    When I left at about 2:30am, Darryl was sitting fourhanded and it looked like they were negotiating a chop, but the chip leader at the time didn't look too keen on it. Figured you would have taken him down eventually.

    Very friendly hosts (and a Newfie to boot ;) ) and I got to see an old playing friend of mine from years ago who was dealing final table. Definitely plan on returning in the future. Food and drink supplied and looked good, but I didn't partake (damn lifestyle change) and dealers were very good (all but one who must have been new, just a tad slow).

    If this was Greg McCann's of Friday nights I have heard from a very reliable source that depending on who is sitting at your cash table there is some collusion going on.

    Just wondering what your take on the cash game was like?

    I used to go to this game a lot but haven't been in probably over a year, and then a buddy told me about this collusion when he went just for cash.
  • STR82ACESTR82ACE
    I didn't really see any collusion myself, but by the time I left, I could hardly keep my eyes open anyway. There might have been one or two situations that may be considered soft playing against each other, but for the most part, the guys at my table were loose and passive anyway, and only had one dominating chip stack that ran the table.

    Also, first impression of Greg I have is that if he suspected any kind of collusion, he would have done something about it.

    What kind of collusion are you referring to? This game doesn't change much week over week. 7 of the 10 players are usually the same every week (at the main table anyways). The only collusion I would be worried about would be dealer and a player.

    i can't really imagine a person being smart enough to collude properly, and not just play the game anyways. unless there's a lot of money (which im clueless as to whether there is), i think i'd encourage people to collude.

    i don't have a clue about colluding though it just seems most people don't even know how to play and the ones that do make money.

    Same 3 people every now and then this would happen

    New player raises
    Then re raise
    Then re raise
    Then re raise
    New player folds
    Then the next 2 players fold

    Looks like it could be colluding when it is the same players doing this like every hour.

    Now this didn't happen to me but my buddy told me about this and he will never go back

    So basically if you're playing 2/5 NL player 1 makes it 20 dollars, player two makes it 55 dollars, player 3 makes it 140 dollars and player 4 makes it 300 dollars in order to win 20? This seems beyond retarded <.<
  • STR82ACESTR82ACE
    Feel I have to inject something here. I'm sure collusion happens in clubs everywhere, and I don't doubt Steve or his friend if they suspected it was going on. I didn't see any behavior at the table I was at to suggest this was happening the one night I was there, and if I had, I would have said something to the organizers. There were aggressive players of course, but I did not for a moment conclude anything suspicious was going on during my session.

    I've only been there the one time, and I enjoyed the time I was there. Even came out a few hundred ahead which is a nice change. I plan on going back again in the future. I will most definitely be on the lookout more actively, but I truly don't believe this game is a bad one.

    +1 on that; and if player 1 raised with AA or KK, then what? seems like a lot of effort to win a few blinds pre-flop. You could probably use this to your advantage if you knew this type of raising was going to happen.

    I have played at Greg's game for years and it has always been well run and honest, IMO. My AA loses to KK, etc. as many times at any other club or casino :)
