Rake In The Big Game?

[milojones 0]

........AAAAAAND on a side note. The "online big game" is currently going right now on FT. They're playing 1000/2000 HORSE, and there's Jen Harmen, Gus, Eli Elezra, J Dags, Todd Brunson, David Grey, etc. They're actually chatting it up quite a bit, so it's rather entertaining to watch if anyone's interested.

allen cunningham was also at another table. he had a set of sixes and got paid off with them then JDAGS pops int he chat window and says:ITS....ALLEN CUNNINGHAM!...priceless.

I believe the idea of the "time pot" is that whoever wins the last pot of the dealer's down pays the time charge for the whole table. Assuming the table is full 10 handed (though I don't think they ever go over 9) it'd be $100 which the winner of any pot can easily pay.

I heard its $30 per half hour.

Heard Daniel say before it is a time rake and it is actually taken from a "time pot" and not from evry indvidual player. cant remember how much per hour he said but it was a very reasonable amount if i remember correctly. Cant believe the Bellagio actually doesnt allow the big game to go rake free considering the prestige of hosting the game is so valuable. if the game moved to the V or the wynn I see no reason to go to the Bellagio since those rooms are far more supperior in terms of quality.

i'm pretty sure the game moves around based on who's playing and who has money where... i believe that is how daniel described it in one of his blogs/vlogs

To repost what that dealer said (as if anyone will not disregaurd it and say whatever they think anyhow). This was posted on FCP, but I didn't save the username of the poster.

The limits can be anywhere from 1k-2k, all the way up too 4k-8k and every limit in between. It all depends on who is in the game and what they feel like playing that night. Occasionally there will be two "Big Games" going on at the same time with one of them being like 1.5k-3k and the other being 4k-8k.The game itself is almost allways a mixed game. I have seen just a limit or a no-limit game though. Sometimes guys like Gabe Kaplan are in town and like to play 1k-2k holdem, and the big game players oblidge. The mixed game could be anywhere from 4-10 games, again, depending on who is there. Some mix of holdem, PLH, NLH, Omaha8/b, PLO, hi-low regular, stud, stud8/b, 2-7 triple draw, no limit 2-7 single draw, A-5 triple draw, razz, and chinese poker with the occational variation of one of the above games, like pot limit omaha 8/b. The pot limit and no limit games usually have a cap on them (i.e. you can't lose more than 100,000 on one hand), but not always. Sam Farha hates playing with a cap.The game is normally spread at Bellagio, but does travel around the country during the big tournaments. Also, if Bobby Baldwin is in the game, it may be played at another vegas casino like Sams Town, Aladdin, or Golden Nugget.The players in the game pay $10 per player, per half hour for time. There is no $25 tip that goes the dealer ahead of time. The dealer makes what ever they make. Allthough, the first time I ever dealt this game during the 2003 world series, we did get that $25 when we sat down.
