Practically speaking the 1/3 capped game never runs at the lodge. Most players are properly rolled for that game. Not uncommon to have several 5k stacks in the early evening after the game's been running for 5+ hours. Again, if a room is thinking long term they need a mix of games that hopefully keep the rec players in the games longer (so everyone can pay more rake! Tip more ect ect)Īustin 1/3 or 2/5 plays more like a 5/T or T/20 in Vegas. There is a reason a lot of rooms cap buy-in, mainly because the rec players go bust more often. The 5/5 regs probably know more about the challenges of running that game - you could consult them for their feedback.Īlso, please get rid of the 1/3 $600 cap game. There are some challenges there since the 1/3 and 5/5 games have intersecting player pools and when one game runs there might not be enough players to support the other game. It would be also great to have a regular 5/5 game. Personally, one of the things that brought me to the Lodge circa 2019 is how robust the 1/3 player pool is in comparison to the other clubs. Second the Lodge should think long and hard about how to maintain a strong player base for 1/3 and 5/5 so that these games run regularly.
