Notes from The Music Shack (1 Viewer)

[chipjoker]

So, I finished painting and I had my first game, I am not Totally done with The Music Shack but very close. @Shaggy kicked but, but this first guy ended up leaving with only 80...

Made a little head way on the new Music Shack man cave...

I love when this thread gets bumped because I get to go back and look at these chips again.

 

[chipjoker]

I had a poker tournament fundraiser and I got my MAN CAVE/Then Music Shack updated, pictures, instraments, and cleared out more stuff....

Game went well, two tables with 3 spot payout and we raised $600 for the American Cancer Society..

The chips are top notch. I love the over-sized $20 and plaques high quality with great design!

Maybe try easing them into it by mixing in Pineapple variants. Once they're used to 3 cards then you up it to 4.

Possibly lower the limits for new games so players can see how much action is generated by the game type without risking as much.

Hold a small buy-in tournament with the new games you want to introduce to allow people some exposure to them without putting a large amount of money at risk.

Every time you're the dealer just deal them 4 cards and refuse to re-deal. They'll figure it out.

@inca911 organizes 20.00 mixed game tourneys at the meet ups to break people in. I highly recommend this.

I did just do a PLO $10 tourney and I had 6 people, one person I had to talk into coming due to the fact I only had 4 at the time...

Maybe the Mixed game, like Horse, would be better..

Thank you all..

What are your normal stakes? If their not willing to spend 10 bucks to learn a new game you might be out of luck.

I usually have a .25/.50 cash game @ $40-$100 buy-in, most buy in for 100.

@Shaggy asked one of the regular players at the cash portion that night why he wasnt at the tournament, and I think he said he didnt understand the Pot limit portion. Not sure if thats was the "I dont want a limit on my betting" and "How do I get people to fold", or if its a "I dont know how it works". Shaggy and I have done a few games of PLO and we are the dealers the entire night, so its not like he has to think about it, we announce whats in the pot prior to the next street.

Maybe I should have a conversation with him about it to let him know.

Thanks @detroitdad

 

[Shaggy]

@chipjoker it was basically the structure of the pot betting that confused him. More likely the pot sized raise. He did also say he had a date night with his wife and that is why they missed the $10 tourney. I think he'll come around. I think a couple more $10 tournies are in order before we can jump into the dime/dime PLO cash game.

Love the set up. I am also starting to turn my garage into a poker room. Mine is pretty small, only room for two tables but still will it be nice to play in the garage without the tools and general family catch all shelving.

After seeing your pics I cant wait to get really working on it. Thanks for the inspiration!!
