Recently snared a couple of Horseshoe Cleveland decks of KEM cards, so had to get one in play with their matching set this afternoon for a 1/2 game.

Cards, chips, hot dog roller and chili with good poker pals, including @Pawn38 in attendance, meant a great time.

This double-board Omaha bomb pot was insane with three-way all-in action on the turn.

Finally got around to testing out the new mat and modiano platinums. Unsure if i prefer these or the KEMs, the Platinums glide along the surface a LOT better but i do love the feel of the KEMs.
Usually play a 10c/20c but decided to mix it up for a 20c/50c game, ended up with $800 in buyins and our biggest pot was near $250. Big change from $20 buyins!
Now just need to work on getting a custom chip set and table made, my one bedder and wallet are already bracing for impact.

Big thanks to @Irish and @randy2310 for making the trip out to play some cards, I was really happy you could both make it. I'm sorry @Nuhockey that your hall pass didn't last long enough until a seat opened up :confused

I'm looking forward to having you and those that couldn't make it tonight over in the future though!
 
League event #2 was a $20 rebuy tourney with 14 entrants and 53 rebuys so it ran super long and got almost my entire set on the felt. Fun night even though I busted right before the bubble when I shoved 1010 into @TricycleClub ’s JJ. Greg ultimately takes it down.

Then cash after was mostly just horse racing. This was a blast.

Glad you were able to claw back close to even. Definitely wasn't my night, hoping I built up enough negative variance to use in the future lol.
 
Woah! How does the horse race work?
Basically you deal out all the cards with the aces and kings removed. Those cards represent your bets on horses. Then you roll the dice to determine 4 scratched horses. So say you roll a 9. The 9 horse is scratched and everyone with a 9 card pays $1 and discards their nines. You roll for three more scratched horses that will cost $2, $3 and $4 each. Then the race starts. The first player rolls. If the number rolled matches a horse that was scratched, you pay the $1/2/3/4 cost and past the dice. If not, you move the horse forward a peg. Keep doing that until a horse reaches the finish line. Everyone with a card of that horse wins a quarter of the pot. So if the 11 horse wins, everyone with a jack wins. If you have two jacks, you get half the pot.

Here you can see the 4 horse was scratched in the $4 position. So every time someone rolled a 4, they paid $4 to the pot.

I love this! I am confused on the sentence about get confused about scratching the 9 horse but discarding 6s? Regardless, will be checking Amazon shortly for this game, just like I did for the shut the box game suggested to get the gambol on. In your experience, what's the max/ min number of players to make this work well?
