I played B&M last night. Any time we lost a player, this one guy would get his panties totally in a bunch. "Do they know we're short? There's a list right? This game has been running longer." Oh no! It's a disaster! We're playing 8-handed in a game with a time charge!

It's just strange to me that there's always one of these guys with the popularity of 6-max online.

They're like this at my B&M about 3/6 limit too, it's hilarious.

The changed it now so that the other games are must move to the main game, instead of just keeping them balanced. To make matters worse, if I'm on the main game, but wanted to move to the short table, I couldn't even if someone was gonna take my spot. But my home casino is a joke.

What happens if you quit playing, then immediately want to start again? Can you get round it that way?

You have to wait 30 mins (could be an hour, I don't recall).

I have to reply because I have the same thing come up time and t ime again, I live in saint louis and usually go to the Harrahs.

Ive gone early in the day a couple times and they won't even want to start the game with 7 people. Im sitting at the table telling them to start dealing when even heads up but they never will because the players won't play even 6 handed.

then any time we lose players everyone whines and instead of keepign a game going with like 6 people, more people will just leave because they won't want to play with fewer people.

I think these are the same people that are obsessed with chopping the blinds.

I do not make a stink about it but I like either heads up or full table. icon_cool.gif If it is a "big" game with decent size blinds you will see that sort of thing happen a lot.

Common theory is more players = more money = more donks = more action. I really don't mind either way.

I think it's usually those old guys that fold too much. They complain whenever it's time to pay the session fee about how they didn't get enough hands in, but then they don't wanna play short-handed where they could get so many more hands in each session. I'll never understand those guys. LOL.

You mean the one +70 who pushes any ace and flops two suited cards no matter what the price is?

I really wish I played where you play. I don't see these guys too often, and when I do, they go broke to everyone but me.

I like it to get a little short after a long, boring full ring session. It's nice to see the game liven up a bit.
