No-Limit Hold'em Has Legs
I didn't go to Casino San Pablo for the debut of their baby no-limit hold'em game. Instead, I went to the movies with RJ. Afterwards, Debbie picked me up at the Daly City BART station and we went to Lucky Chances to play poker there.
They had four $100-buyin, $1-$1-$2-blind NLHE games. Moments after we got there and put our names on the lists, they called down a fifth game. And what a game! Four earnest young men were the action players – I had the impression that they worked together at some financial firm or other. At length, there must have been $2,500 on the table (this is a $100 maximum buy-in game with nine players).
Back in April I worried about the long-term viability of this game. For now, at least, it's going strong with no sign of slacking.
