killjoy1987:
Had a fun weekend at my first APAT events, cashed in the 6-Max and looking forward to the rest of the week!
Is there any chance of this HORSE cash going ahead do we know?

Excellent question nobody around whe I popped down earlier

I have been in both nights and ended up playing 1/1 NLHE to my utmost dismay.
Tuesday night i asked the Cardroom Manager to announce a HORSE and a PLO8 list and i was flatly refused.
This is very poor IMO to not even bother announcing that a game could be possible. How can players know it can be done if there is no information to suggest it?
I suppose it is to be expected for a betting structure that hasn't been used live in England for over 30 years.
They put me on a RoE list and said that would be for whatever i wanted but refused to announce the possibility of such games.
I was also disheartened to learn that there is little knowledge from the dealers how to deal these games and I had to inform a dealer I think who was called Lewis how fixed limit poker worked. He didn't even know that there were 5 betting rounds in 7 card stud games and told me he had only been dealing 4 in the 8 game and nobody said anything!!!
I then informed him about 1 bet and 3 raises and how the bet doubles and that the stakes are not what the blinds are. I gave him a cash game structure and suggested a 4 quid session fee for Wednesday's HORSE cash.
It's going to be £2/£4 FL with 50 ante in stud games and £1 bring in. When you buy your chips make sure you have a couple of 20 stacks in 50p and £1 chips, the rest in £5's and you can pull up again with £5's or £25's if you get short. Since the bets will always be below 5 quid we don't want time wasted constantly changing 5 quid chips.
Try to get the dealers leaving the bets in front of players in HU pots in high low games. It saves a lot of time.
The comp is in 6 hours so I better get some sleep.
Look for the young guy in the smart blue jacket. That's me.
Please pressure the room staff into getting a game for us. They said they will get it running if 3 or 4 of us come as a group to demand it.
Overall I feel disappointed with the poker room and really stupid for bothering to come two days early to play cash.

All sounds very disappointing.
I have been back home for work but am back today for the HORSE MTT and hopefully the rest of weekend. Hopefully we can get a few players as people bust in the MTT to get a table started for a bit of cash.

Congrats on the bink!
I heard the announcement for the HORSE cash game, but was still in the comp, but when I bust there was no sight nor sound of it. Playing the ROE each today but still keen to play this cash game
