yes, but all they do is get the maximum purse money and let the place fall down! 
FYI, the t-breds rent a handful of stalls at the raceway for that meet and they must make a good buck on that too!
Horseplop isn’t a popularity contest!!

Maybe some body can do something to pull the horseman together.

Problem with that is very few "horseman associations" are for the horseman. They want the dues and when you have a issue it's like "Go away! Don't bother us"! Most of the saw called Board is under the racetracks management anyway.

  • dougie: No tournament play there. Two many young cowboys bullying us old guys. Just straight poker. A lot of fun, but you could get hurt if you don't know the players.

  • Trigger: When I refer to cash game I'm thinking non tourn or sit n go, casinos I've played in never let you play for cash only chips but technically a ring game is a cash game too.

  • dougie: Private games are cash only. But the table uses chips to cause no confusion. Buy-in it $1G with 2 other buy in allowed. It is strictly Texas Holdem. Is is no limit but most of the players know each other. No kids playing. I'd say the average age was about 40. Food is included. Usually subs and pizza. Occasionally Chinese food.

  • Trigger: Those are cash games.

  • JT: Is it no limit hold em I am assuming Dougie? tournament style, or cash game?

  • dougie: We had 8 tables going and the 1G prize is every hour. Todays game is the third private game I ever played. I starting to enjoy private games.
