DTD run dealer"s choice cash games which are far more varied than the variants within HORSE. I"m sure it won"t be a problem at all.

Fair enough, I must admit I"ve not dipped my toes into the mixed games at DTD, due to bankroll and also a belief (which is seems was ill-founded) that they mostly just play HE and 4, 5 or 6 card PLO...
Anyone have a good idea of the games that are spread in the DC games at DTD? I"ve been gagging for a live Baduci game since I was last in Vegas.

if you fancy badugi and you live near norwich, the dc is usually 80% badugi and 20% omaha, awful quality of players so can be worth the trip

I don"t live close, but might think about, although I wasn"t talking about badugi, I was referring to the far superior (IMO) game of baduci, which is 2-7 triple draw where the best qualifying badugi wins half the pot, so you can never actually have the stone cold nuts for both pots, which makes it interesting.

Games played are:
PLO 4/5/6 card - Occasional
PLO8 4/5/6 card - Popular
Irish 3/4/5 card - Rarely picked
Stud - Nobody ever picks stud
Stud8 - Nobody picks this either
Superstud - Quite popular
Padooki - Fairly popular
HE isn"t an option so your belief is definitely out with that one :)
Obviously it depends on who"s there but you get some night"s where 4 of the 8 players pick padooki. Other nights it"s mostly PLO8. Generally speaking it"s usually it"s a mix of PLO8, superstud and padooki.
It"s a very fun game. Plenty of 1k+ pots and usually a lot of cash on the table. Plenty of gamblers there too so can be lots of value if a bit swingy at times.

No worries, everyone usually makes that mistake as no-one knows what baduci is, but it"s such an awesome game, I wish there was somewhere I could play it!

There will be .50/1 cash games during the APAT weekend. During the £300 weekend they don"t have them on the Saturday night (although if there is enough demand and the space later on they have been known to have a few tables running).
Other than the .50/1 game, there are HE tables at 1/2, 2/5, and 5/10 if the demand is there. PLO is run at 2/2 and 5/5 I believe, and then there"s the DC game at 5/5. This is usually running most nights. I have seen 6-max tables at DTD, but only at the higher stakes, never at the lower limits.
At DTD the .50/1 game has a max buy-in of £100, and a minimum of £40. The 1/2 game has no maximum, and a minimum of £50. Also, a live straddle is not allowed in the .50/1 game, but is in the 1/2 and above.
As for poor dealers, they tend to have a few when they are close to capacity as they have to bring in dealers from elsewhere. For the HORSE event, i"d imagine that the more experienced dealers will be used, or maybe ones who express an interest in learning new games. They"ll get the appropriate training and I"m sure will be more qualified than the bunch of amateurs they"l be dealing to :D.
