Pretty violent .5/1E tonight, with half of the crew (the "guest" crew) being well-read poker fanatics, who, among them, play 1/2E, so it indeed played like at least moderate 1/2.
In my house, I won't allow straddles, but 4BB (4 Euro at the official stakes) initial raises just don't get any respect.
My old friends just can't keep up with that level of skill and stakes, and I 'll never repeat the mistake of mixing them with the "sharks".
The issue is that old friends aren't very reliable poker-wise, whereas the hard-core guest crew is dying to play anytime.
@Eriks the spell has been erased! First win with the Paris set! In for 180E, out for 520E!
5c / 10c. Got two others all in preflop for about $15ea in PLO. I had AA33. Flopped two additional aces. Can't complain.
Some weirdo also thought the 72 game applied to PLO and tossed ~$5 in the pot preflop, before folding to the all ins. (We were letting dealers call games.)
