In playa dorada there are two games nightly.
At Paradise Casino there is a US$ game with $1,$2 blinds and $50 minimum buy in.
At Ameican Casino at Jack Tar there is a RD$ game with RD$50, RD$100 blinds and RD$2000 minimum buy in. If buyin with US$ they will cashout in US$, but game is played in pesos.
Both games are supposed to start at 9:00PM but usually is closer to 10:00 before they start.
Gee Larry thanks for telling me you weren't going to the Casino in Sosua. Breezes is in Cabarete. I won 800 pesos while waiting for you to show up so I am not mad!

Scott, I WAS in playa chiquita last night from 8 until 8:30. You said you were taking a nap and 'might' drop by the casino later. Had I known you were coming, I would have waited.

I hope you mean they have a $50 table and others.Larry said:
When you say the mimimum buy in is $50, do you mean that some are buying in to the same game for more?
Would this also mean that people can buy more chips for the same game?
If this is the case, it is a scam.
Regardless of the stakes, an integral part of the game of Texas Holdem is that everybody starts out with the same amount of chips and once they are gone you are out of the game.
All they would have to do is have a few players who are working together with way more cash than the other players and you don't have a chance.
Unless all players buy in one time for the same amount, avoid this game like the plague, Progressive Roulette, Keno, etc...
Mango Larry has a nice ring to it. Man I think I am going to use it from now on. I got there at about 10 pm. Was out real late unfortunately. Now I have to play with Patrick which is difficult.Larry said:
The fur was flying at Dominos Bar today. Glass breaking and people running to get out of the way of Chicas going at it. I moved my car so I didn't get a broken window. Was picking up someone from the Europa. Don't worry about Dominican Men, it is the women that will hurt you bad!

Malibook, If the texas holdem game is played at 1,$2, minimium buy in of $ 50 WITH three raises maximum there is no scam. Often times a player will buy in for a fixed amount and when the heat builds and they tap out they will buy in for more chips. These are not texas hold em, no rebuys, all in games or tournaments. At least that is my experience. John
Mailbrook,
Obviously you have never played before. It is not a scam. Maybe you are confusing a cash game with a tournament?
Actually, the more you buy in for the better as you can put pressure on other players with your betting and potential bet calling. It is the same structure at any hold em no limit table in Vegas or Atlantic City...a minimum buy in and then structured blinds. Then you can continue buying more chips if you care to. I am not going to explain the game to you.

Okay, it is not a scam.
I would assume the blinds do not go up in this format and is it really no limit?
It doesn't seem right to have people going all in and just buy more chips if they lose.
The potential scam of it is that you can have a few associates with extremely large stacks working in concert against the much smaller stacks.
I have only played tournaments and with friends.
When a player is doing well in a game and builds up a chip advantage, it is a big advantage but it is earned and deserved.
It hardly seems right that someone would be able to buy such an advantage but if you don't mind, go ahead.

You obviously have never played in a casino regular nolimit game. Remember, if you are the low stack, you are only puting that at risk.
If you were to join a game in progress, you expect all the other players to lower their stacks to your buy-in. I don't think so.
If it is no limit, why not just continually play with low stacks so nobody can force you out with too big a bet.HOWMAR said:

Are you claiming that Duhtree doesn't know what he is talking about with regards to his experience?
Malibook said:
He is saying exactly the samething that I am.
I'm saying you don't know what you're talking about.
As far as your strategy. You should know that chip count superiority is a large part of the game. If you can't intimidate, you can't bluff or semi-bluff.
Anytime you want to play low-stacked, let me know when and where.
I think you better stay with the play money games on partypoker.net

Duhtree says there is no all in and there is a maximum of 3 raises.HOWMAR said:
You say it is no limit.
So you think these are exactly the same?
You have no idea where I play and for what stakes so what makes you think I would give a sh!t about your asinine suggestion?
At the Paradise resort in Playa Dorada, there are often a few amigos with several thousands of dollars in chips at the poker table.rellosk said:
Quite often they are not even playing.
They are simply waiting for the next victim to donate his cash.
My point is simply that first of all, I would not play in such a set up game.
If I was going to play and I only wanted to blow a few hundred dollars, this is not even close to enough to put any pressure on any one of these guys especially with them working in concert against you.
Therefore perhaps it might be better to not risk getting blown out in a single all in.

I don't think he was saying they were not all in games. The games in question are definitly all-in no limit games. As far as your next post goes. Remember, Dominican players like action. If you come over the top of one of them and re-raise, they take it as an assault on their machismo. If you play them tight, you will beat their advantage.
Just to clarify: there are two distinct formats. 1. Texas Hold Em, Limit ( max three raises at agreed upon betting increments ). 2. Texas Hold Em, No Limit where a player can bet all of his poker money an that hand. Variatians on that theme would be with or without rebuys for the first hour of a tournament and then play what you have there after.
I am not an authority but this is my experience with this type of poker.
And Malibook: It's too often the case that the best hand doesn't win in all or nothing games no matter how deserved the call. Ahhh! Rue the poker gods.
Play nice, boys. John
