Tales of Poker from the Luton G - 2013

[celtic]

Is there regular PLO at Luton at all? What stakes? Straight 4card or 4/5/6?

There is only DC, which runs on Sunday, Friday & Wednesday. It's a 2/2 game but is quite big.

Vinny already sort of replied, but the PLO in the DC is 4, 5 or 6, by choice, straight & 8 or better, ditto.

I've not played it for a while, but it seems to be mostly 4 card high, & 6 card Hi-Lo.

The line-up varies enormously, but when certain players sit in, the game gets very loose, &, in relative terms (to me, anyway) quite big. 2 of the regulars are very solid indeed, the rest mostly just like to gamble.

The Table company is reasonably pleasant.

I have not played that game for 6 months or so, but the 2 guys you'll struggle to get chips off would be Chinese Simon, & Jim McShane, imo. I would suggest that they are both extremely competent & technically correct.

Gino, of course, when he plays, is ultra tight.

I could do a full update, I suppose.

Not sure what interest there would be for such, outside of those that play at the venue though.

Isn't that the sort of thing the Facebook group was put together for? That, and for Linda Smith to sell her trainers obv.

Personally social media is pretty crucial IMO.  If its a staffing issue, why not get a trusted regular to run an official update page and chuck them a couple of free tournie entries for the effort?

I would also really like to see an active twitter/facebook account that updates the cash games running every hour or so.  Such a simple job that someone can do in under a minute and keeps everyone in the loop.

EDIT: It's something that won't increase numbers in the short term, but being constantly in peoples conciousness via twitter or facebook is huge.  A few weeks ago I was stuck for something to do, and I saw the Genting Reading post that there was a 1/2 that had just started with 3 seats free. I'd never played cash there before, so I got in the car and there I was doing a 12 hour session raking away constantly and deep in the night 2 other guys came purely the facebook posts.
