Good new for Sydney Limit Players

[jabbs]

As of today Star City is CC free on 5/10 and 10/20 limit games. FINALLY!!!

[Andrew LeRoy]

Whats the drop?Any sign that NLH will follow suit?

[jimmie]

Hope this isn't some sick joke.Andrew - There's no CC on NLHE just a time charge AND 10% pot rake. I can't see them taking away either of these in the near future.Out of interest are they now implementing a time charge on the limit games to compensate?

[Blu3B3ar]

You sure jimmie?I am not mistaken it's CC in the $200 buyin table, and time charge+rake in the $200-to-$500 buyin.... both 5-5 blinds

[jimmie]

I stand corrected. Structured Limit all CC charged. 80NL ($5/hr), 500NL are time charge ($30/hr?) and pot rake. The 200NL in between is CC charged ($1).

[jabbs]

There is no time charge on limit games, just 10% rake upto $10 on 10/20. Not sure about 5/10. This is the way it should be. They will make more money anyway.

[danielg]

get rid of the retarded shoe dealing!OMFG surely 500NL isnt $30p/h AND pot rake.crown is $10p/h and rake.

[JoeyDel]

it's not Dan5/5 NL $10p/h + 10% rake capped at $105/10 NL$30p/h with no rake.Jimmie wrote the wrong limit, It's understandable as jimmie is balla and only plays the bigger games

danielg Shoe dealing or no shoe dealing all live games have an integrity problem if the dealer also cuts.The button should cut the deck.A good dealer can throw an Ace where ever he wants if there is no independant cut.And an expert dealer is as scary as hell.I refer you to "The expert at the card table" bySW Erdnase-with notes by Darwin Ortiz.No one seems to be aware or give a toss about this.I really think they should.I'm not suggesting its going on, but a player cutting the deck would knock most of the tricks on the head.At a final table with millions at stake its got to be a temptation.I'm always suspicious when a major event winner is a young clean cut guy who is seen for a while around the room before they win big never to surface again... (but hey I'm paranoid right)......All tourneys are hand dealt too arn't they?Machine shuffle with dealer cut, or hand shuffle with the button cutting is the only way for justice to be seen to be done.

THe one thing going for Star City is it is machine shuffled
