Wow! Here i am all blogged up and ready to tell the world about me and what I do and why I am the best at putting together limit games in NYC and the great action and characters that frequent my game. What I'm talking about here is a 10-20 half-kill that plays loose with plenty of action. I go 7 nights a week, and always get off, I like to get cards in the air by 6 30, so I fill up fast!! I want to tell people the real stuff that goes on, I've been doing this 12 years, I am at the point where i just promote and show up, grabass and hangout. Its the nuts!!! They said I was crazy trying to put a limit game together 2 years ago, every place was getting raided by the police, held up or run by people I didn't know. Everyone is playing no limit anyway, thats what they want, thousands of no limit players but only maybe 150 limit players .
In November of 05 this club falls in my lap downtown and I say were playing 10-20 half kill .The reason I did this was because I had little money to play with and I was a one man show with all the stuff that comes with running a game, selling chips, taking phonecalls, getting people there, anything having to do with the game that's what I did. I had already spent 9 years in and out of poker clubs in NYC it's what I am good at. With everything going on, if I had to play I wanted to play limit and not have all my chips at risk. I was off and running!! I put together some nice games in a not so easy location downtown by the Holland Tunnel , people were great, they came, so I put myself on the map as a promoter of well run crazy limit action games.
I got a good hardcore following of dedicated "fuck nl"players, I only had the place for 3 months so I ran with it. Didn't cost me anything, in the end gave the guy half of what I made, I felt like it was a freeroll. The minute I closed down of course people approach me and want me to bring my game to them.
Poker in NYC is funny, a guys clerking one minute at a spot and the next is running a joint across town.
You have to try and get along with everybody. In NY poker thats tough, good luck, there are alot of characters and people of questionable integrity guys who want to take all of your money!!
