Yet Another Baby No-Limit Hold'em Game
Peter "Fold'em" Secor announced to the ba-poker mailing list that Casino San Pablo, in San Pablo, California, (on Interstate 80, just north of Richmond, in the Bay Area) will begin spreading a small-buy-in no-limit hold'em game this coming Saturday at 11 AM.
The blind structure is $1 on the button, middle blind of $2, big blind of $3; $5 to go; $3 dropped from every hand. Buy-in is $100; you can rebuy enough chips to bring your stack up to $100, but no more; if after you lose chips you buy less than enough to give you $100, that will be considered a short buy. No drop for (or participation in) the bad-beat jackpot.
There are problems with this structure – Fold'em expressed concern that the game might not last a month. But, as he points out, since CSP doesn't have any game bigger than $8-$16, there aren't any pros playing, and the game might have legs.
