Posted By: DodgingDonkeysI called it the big game cuz everyone would know what game i was talking about. I wasnt sure if i should avoid using the blinds to talk about games. there was some concern about that on the forum before, but doesnt look like we are getting edited anymore. Peter Pan, I would love to know where these games are that all this great poker is being played. And BTW, I dont believe great poker can be played at small stakes. Not that 1/2 are large stakes in the grand scheme, but for the majority of BP players it is. The core of Poker is risk/reward. Putting people to a test. You cant do that if they have nothing to lose. But I have been searching for a better game than BP in Madison, play-wise, and havent found one. If you know of one, id be happy to check it out.
Scuba at the risk of quoting Peter have you seen some of the people that play 25/50? Them losing 75 dollars is no different than you losing 6 or 7 hundred. Im not saying that good poker is being played at the 25/50 table. Quite the contrary but risk is all realitive -

Ask Scotty for exact details all he told me was "Im think August 18th after I get back from vacation. I dont want anything to happen while Craig is running it." WTF Have you seen Craig? Like I am gonna get into it with him.Posted By: meWTF

Your right Dozo i really dont care if anyone takes what i have to say with any seriousness at all. I did get to acomplish finding out if everyone had as many problems with the behavior at BP as i do. By the looks of all the posts on here that aren't calling me a moron have at least pointed out the problems with BP. Why did things not get out of hand this way years ago? I havent been there since the beginning but has the behavior as a whole always been this way? Why is Scotty so scared to put his foot down and just have a strict set of rules that he can enforce without reprocussion? It has just came to the point where some people dont come just because they dont feel safe and thats all together not right. -

I very highly doubt the the player pool for the .25/.50 game makes 1/10th the income, and has 1/10 the bankroll that the 1/2 players have. highly doubt. -

Because years ago people still had brains and common sence, and the reason they went to BP was to play poker not fight with other guys because they may have a bigger dick than you. -

Peter you accomplished that? See thats why I started this thread to begin with. I didnt start it to claim I havent caused any problems and havent in some way deserved to be suspended. You turned it into that for awhile. I wanted to let my feelings about the state of BP known and to see if it was just me or if others felt that way. I have found that others feel the same. And most of the people that feel this way are long timers. The only game that Scotty cares about running well is the game he plays. Anything else is a means to an end and at times a nuisance to him. What he needs to do maybe is put someone in charge of the 25/50 table to handle disputes or calm things when they get out of control. In no way would I make a case for me to do that. It needs to be someone that can handle things with tact and calmness. But then again thats only if he cares and wants to keep a game going where people that cant afford or dont want to play a bigger game can play -

And that is exactly my point. The amount of risk is all realative to each person. People that play lower stakes can play good poker. It just isnt happening at BP. Most people that play the kiddie game arent poker players but just gamblersPosted By: hlysheetScuba at the risk of quoting Peter have you seen some of the people that play 25/50?

I guess that it would surprise me. I don't doubt that the 1/2 players have a greater discretionary income but 10 times the income - I don't think so. I'm looking at medians, not averages. What do you think the ranges of income for both groups are? I have seen some people play at the 1/2 table that don't have a job. I think you may be over estimating their income.
As to bad play - has any one seen Hellmuth play at the Poker After Dark Cash Game?
