I'm going down for the 11 days of the derby. The poker room seems tiny, couple small tables of 1-2 nl and 3-6 lhe. Anyone know if the room picks up a bit during the tourney and they get more/bigger games?
There's been some pretty good NL games in that room at past DCC's. Plus a nice tourney or two. If I wasn't so busy I might stop by. I played once the first year and won 600, paid for all my food plus! :wink:
I like holdem and stud. The problem with most stud games below 30-60 is the ante structure. 10-20 ante is $1, which is too small and encourages nittier play. Short-handed stud suffers more bc of this. (sh lhe plays way bigger than full ring, and sh stud plays smaller). Personally I think the ante should become proportionally bigger the shorter a game gets, but that'll probably never happen. You are right, though, stud is dying. It could become more popular as mixed games become more popular, but a lot of people don't want lhe and stud in the mix. they'd rather play split games and draw games (and split draw games).
