Yeah, but the majority of them are on weekdays...there is only one on the last saturday of each month. I just need to look at other casinos.

Casino Arizona actually, you live near Phoenix?

Another foray today. I called the casino and they said they have $350 max NL tables with $100 min buyin. They are NL, but the max bet is 350, while the min is 5...I didn't see this up on the wall the last time I went so I figured they didnt have it, anyhoo. Heres hoping I don't lose my roll, but I gotta try it.

Actually, with a $350 "limit," that's not a No Limit game. It's more like a $5/$350 spread.

Weird. What are the blinds?

So, had a blast this afternoon playing some $5-150 NL variation. Essentially you can't bet more than $150 at any one time. The max buyin was 350 with min being 100, blinds were 3 and 5. Anyway, I ended up $102 down after 5 hours, but I learned a lot and popped my live cherry, so hopefully all the jitters are gone and I can start dominating that game . I must say I enjoyed that much more than 5 hours of online play...was tons o fun. The gameplay was pretty solid most of the time. Sometimes it was questionable, but otherwise with a little better table selection I should be just fine. I talked to a dude who plays there a lot and his primary game is omaha, and he says it is the softest in the land. So maybe I should practice up.

Went back again tonight, played not qutie 2 hours and made $299 smackers. Needless to say it was a walk in the park. Granted I doubled up once, but I still was able to make money just picking up pots here and there. It was like I was playing with limit holdem players, and that is an absolute gold mine for a NL player...at least in my opinion.
