So I was playing at Barona and there is no sign stating max payout. I asked and no one got back to me. The reason I asked was because I bet $50 ante, called called and raised 3x for the open ended straigh/royal flush draw. Ended up being a straight, otherwise royal SHOULD have paid 150k. I’ll try to get a definitive answer next time. Also because of my play I got bumped staright to platinum haha.

Gambling should be avoided and only played for entertainment like seeing a football or baseball game. Anything more than 5 hrs a week I think is a waste of valuable time. Just my 2 cents.

Nothing wrong w/ gambling but speaking from experience I think we can spend to much time and I think we should all set TIME limits not just MONEY limits.

Stephen – Great work again.

Steve,
I am sorry to hear that you are barred at Barona. Small minds bring small ideas. I enjoyed your presence on a table. Stay in touch. Gary H.

I like dealing it at Pala. I try to get onlookers to sit ad play to fill the table, and usually I get 1 or 2 to sit down. Their paytable has one difference: Straights pay 4 instead of 5. Also, if you fold your hand you forfeit and progressive on it, unlike barona

well, I tried this game again today at Pala…first time in a long time. Ended up dropping 1K in about 30 minutes. Even though I was losing practically every hand, I was actually having fun. I would have bought in again, but I need to conserve my bankroll for vegas at the end of the month. (I may have to play the 15-30 O/8 game at Venetian to give me some padding if I end up having 4K swings like in January)

I played the simulator last night and after losing 2k playing quarters, I decided to play 50 a spot…3x, 3x, 3x…hit quads for 20k. started playing 100 spots and quit when i got up to 37k. wish that was real money…lol. it was fun, but it really seems like a game for those who like to bet heavy on the UTH Trips bet. I will be going to vegas at the end of March for a BJ tourney at TI and the MJ Celebrity Golf Tournament at Shadow Creek. I may have to head over to Harrah’s and try this game one more time during this trip.

Unrelated to this, but does anyone have any pointers for a first time BJ tournament player? Also, I might have an extra ticket to the Michael Jordan event…will know for sure in a couple weeks. The tickets are from ARIA Casino Marketing, so if any of you received the offer too, you might want to hurry up and call before they run out of tickets.
