I\’m headed out to play a little cash action … gonna go check out the Hard Rock — where the poker ops there have apparently taken a lesson from the Vegas nightclubs and have started to \”own one night.\”
They\’re calling it Trash Talk Tuesdays, and indeed, have heard a teensy little buzz about it around town. Follow me on twitter for updates. My plan is to play tight and not get caught up in twittering.
As you can tell, this will be a big game for me — essentially $2/$5/$10 NLH that I hear grows even bigger as the night goes on. I\’m a little nervous — am pretty sure it\’s poor game selection to risk a third of your bankroll in a potentially wild, unfamiliar game playing at higher stakes than you\’re used to. But sheesh, they\’ve even got a bonus for playing the hammer! Go Dream Team money …
From Hard Rock Poker Lounge:
Trash Talk Tuesdays
Bad Sportsmanship Encouraged – ornery dealers, slow rollers & grown men crying…
Buy-in: $300-$3000
Mandatory \”Hard Rock Straddle\” on the button
Blinds: $2-$5
Seven Deuce BountyWarning: If you\’re a whiny little baby who can\’t take a joke about ginormously fat and disgusting your mother is, then this event is not for you. So stop reading this and MOVE ON!
UPDATE: You can see my results on twitter … but in a nutshell, this game plays WAAY bigger than 2/5 or even 5/10. Got my ass handed to me (twice) before dropping down to \”Wacky 1-2\” … which is essentially the same game with 1/2 blinds and a forced $4 straddle.
