HORSE Event - Dealers

[3N1GM4]

I was just wondering if there was some confirmation from Simon/DTD that there will be fully trained and experienced dealers for the HORSE event at the WCOAP? I was unfortunate enough to experience some poor dealing during my last visit (which was surprising considering the usual high standards) and thought it would be a real shame to see the same sort of thing ruin what is one of the only live HORSE tourneys in the UK this year.

I would assume Simon and Matilde will fully train the dealers for the HORSE event, most of the dealers know how to spread the different games anyway.

The only time I"ve experienced adealing error was from a new trainee.

[3N1GM4]

Yes, I have to emphasize again that on my many many previous visits to DTD the dealing has been of the highest quality, it was only this last visit where I saw a bunch of errors, some fairly elementary and important to the players on the receiving end.

I don"t know if there were a few newer dealers there this weekend compared to last time I was there, I saw a fair few faces I didn"t recognise, so perhaps this explains it.

[Bainn]

Aye, the regular dealers tend not to make mistakes.

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.

A fair point well made.

[Marty719]

tell me more about the cash games!  what limits?  is there a set list of games?

[K3vl4rUK]

dunno about the games but they run £2/£2 , £2/£5 and dunno bout higher prob if enough demand

[AMRN]

I"ve watched £10/£10 games at DTD with some variants being played that I"ve never seen before, and just couldn"t get my head around in the short time I watched. They were also playing the usual stuff - with the favourite game apparently being 6 card Omaha Hi/Lo. The pots were regularly over £1k!

The dealer was on top of it all, and bossed the table really well, with many multiple all ins and side pots all over the place.

ye there mixed games dealers are top notch

[WYoung83]

Am i right in thinking that the lowest stakes are going to be 50p-£1. Also do they do 6-max NLH or is it all 9 handed?

thats all im rolled up for unfortunatly.

[K3vl4rUK]

ye mate £0.50/£1 is the smallest stake they play and im sure its all 9 handed.

[Ken Jude]

I believe .50/£1 games tend not to run on days when there is a special tournament running as well as the regular DtD scheduled events. Cash tables have to wait until dealers are freed up from the tournaments, and if they have limited numbers available and people wanting to play higher then clearly the higher-stakes tables will take priority.

Having said that, the mix of players there for the APAT event will be slightly different to the mix for the monthly £300 Deepstack, so perhaps that might work in favour of there being .50/1 games going.

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
