The Stranger is playing $10K-$20K

The limit hopped right up to $10,000-$20,000. I dealt the game about the 3rd hour into my night. It was fast and orderly, played with $5,000 chips and 9 players and a minimum buy-in of $200,000. Of course there was a waiting list…go figure.


A player was absent when I sat down…table conversation estimated the absent player was a million plus winner in the game. Seems huge when you punch a time clock but for that limit it really isn’t.

Our stranger was involved in a few pots to the River. He only pulled a couple of small pots that were heads-up action, didn’t show down any hands so it’s difficult to judge the level of play.

A few hands were 3 way action to the River, but most hands were heads-up from the beginning. Everyone was absolutely on their best behavior…no card throwing, cursing or whiney baby tantrums.

A few of the players were talking about adding a Kill factor to the game or possibly just jumping it right up to $20,000-$40,000. It didn’t happen then but maybe tomorrow.
There was, literally, millions of dollars on the table. The game was very easy to deal and they put some $$$ in my pocket – no, not enough for a buy-in into that game. 🙂
