    Jesus. You persist in spouting your ignorance, as if you knew the dealers. (Like when you thought
    they made minimum wage). Our dealers 'consistently' made money. As the Live Ones played, our
    dealers would gather the cards and the winner's last so they could turn the deck as they prepared
    to shuffle. Thereby seeing their folded hand. During their 20-minute break, they sit in on the game
    and clean out the tourists. Meanwhile, we could play our own money at tables where we know
    we had an advantage. (Usually Lowball).

    You are a fucking moron. The drop was $2 in the early 90's...sometimes $3....$2 for a $20-40 lIMIT he game at Bay101. Now that are dropping anything from $5-7/hand. You can hardly find a place that traditionally rakes 10% like the old days, when
    they'd be changing the rake every $10. This has changed so much, just call it a rake now and not a drop. So, they rake even when there is no flop to varying degrees. I've seen a full rake with no flop, so don't tell me it's fixed at 10%....that game
    it could be 100% if nobody saw the flop when it was a single blind.

    JFC you're a waste of broadband.....

    Well, ain't that the pot calling the kettle black.

    I don't understand this question, Paul. Assuming he's a 'bump on a log' (no opinion myself) are you implying he wouldn't get any or adequate action? Why wouldn't there be some action?
    I was playing in Gardena one day. The pot was down to two old rocks. After the Draw, Old Man #1 bet, whereby Old Man #2 just called. Old Man #1 showed down a Wheel, Old Man #2 showed his 6-4-3-2-A. Old Man #1 says, "You don't raise with that?" Old Man #
    2 says, "You've got to give action, to get action."

    At commerce, back in 7stud days, they had a group of greeks who were always angry playing. 4th street a greek is showing 33. I'm showing 5K with KK wired. I bet, he raises, I reraise, he caps. I'm immediately suspicious and I get a 5 on fifth street
    for Kings full and check. He bets out the hand and I flat call to his quad 3's. He sees I have King's full and starts screaming at me for not raising and how he'd have gone broke with King's full and tells me I owe him more money.
    Still not as angry as any Dragon Lady who beats you in a pot after you bet into her. And, not as nasty as the old jewish bat who demands to be treated like a lady while waiting there all night to make a set of aces against you and then trash talk you
    at the table while she drags the pot.
