FYI... It is a legal above ground game with no rake. Wyoming allows "home games" in bars and other establishments. It specifically does not allow the bar to take a rake, nor promote the game, just a allows players to get together at a public place. The bar may sell food and drinks to the players. This law just changed last year.Played again last night and had a better table, less limping and a little less chasing. I also play more agressive with good hands, thanks to the advise here yesterday. Was up 4 buyins in 4.5 hours.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I need to be more agressive, but the varience was brutal. I had the best hand on the flop several times and could not get people off of 2nd pair (2 pr by river) less than nut flush draws (10 6 suited) and gut shot straights. I think most of what I experienced was varience, but I will try some new ideas tonight.By the way this is a game in a bar, so the quality of play is BAD. I was one of two players who was not drunk. I know eventually my abilty will win out, but I have never played a table with so much limping.

Played in a .50 - $1 NL cash game last night. Buyin was $20 to $60 and it was 7-9 handed. Several people had bought in more than once and 3 players had $100+ in front of them.It seamed that 80% of the hands were limped. 7-9 to the flop, some one get lucky and win the pot. I continued to limp, even with poor hands. Any raise of less than $10 got 4-5 callers.Would you ever not limp in a table like this? Is the chance to hit a trash hand and win $25+ worth the risk?I limped along last night, but my trash hands never hit, and my good hands got ran over. I think I was ok to play along, but a

I was watching HSP again the other night and they ran it twice. What I could not tell was if the players tell each other what cards they have before or after they decide to run it twice. Is there an un-written rule about the etiquette of running it twice?Also, has anyone had a 1-2 NL or 2-5 NL table that would run it twice or is it only for high stakes?I am aware some players (ie Barry G) never run it twice.Thanks.

I see where the WSOP has doubled the starting stack in most events. I have found the 2007 levels online at WSOP, but I can't find the 2006 levels and before. My question is did they double or speed up the blind increase which would negate the double starting stack? It kind of refers back to Daniel's blog the other day about the great "scam" concerning starting chips.If this has been covered, sorry but the search function was not helpful.Thanks.
