Yes, usually every 15 or 20 minutes, an audible timer will go off and every hand dealt afterwards is subject to the new blinds.
Many Many Many.
Yikes…3:00 am local time for you! You are more than welcome though if you can tough it out.
String bets
Also, similar to that, forward motion is usually observed at all B&Ms.

Much appreciated - and I’ll have to pass on the 0300 timings!

Hmmm…maybe it would be 0200 since I didn’t figure in DST.
What? You still want to pass on that too? 
Maybe I will play when my school holidays start. 
I’ve just spotted that the WSOP is on when I visit Vegas in July. 
How much can spectators see at the hotel?
How long should I wait after Hellmuth gets eliminated before approaching him for an autograph? :eek:
Are any of you guys playing?

They keep most spectators out of the room. There is a pretty good exhibition hall just outside the area. The games at the casinos are pretty juicy when the WSOP is going on. You can find some lives ones at just about any table.
When in July? I think I’ll there around the 15th or so.
Does the exhibition hall show the WSOP games e.g. on closed circuit?
Or should I watch it on TV later?
I leave on the 16th - after attending the [/url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=470916]Vegas Dopefest!

So the photo was taken from the northwest or west? And most of LC is far to the west? Scary fire, though.
Referring to this.

Sometimes, no action is the right action. Last night, I had to attend a lottery for my kids to get onto a waiting list for a certain prestigious school in our area.
My middle son got 1st out of 16 for the class of 2014, and my youngest got 4 out of 28 for the class of 2020. So technically, we finished in the money, so to speak.
Would someone PRETTY PLEASE set the game up for tonight???
I haven’t been online much after work and completely spaced it!
Results tonight:
1 Cult of the Duck
2 Oslo the Olid
3 Dag the Dyspeptic
4 Missy the Moodswing Messiah
5 Root the Rueful
Congratulations to Duke of Rat, although he was the beneficiary of many incredible suckouts. Or is that “instigator”?
In five-player games, the blinds really rocket around the table. We only made it to level 5.
Asterion apparently chose not to prolong his agony as last-place holder. Or maybe he was distracted, as has been previously speculated on different occasions.
The final standings of this agonizing quarter of horrifying gasoline price increases and bizarre weather*:
1 Yeticus Rex 65.5
2 Dag Otto 62.2
3 Miss Take 60.8
4 Duke of Rat 60.1
5 Robot Arm 57.0
6 Oslo Ostragoth 55.9
7 Kyyrewyyoae 54.4
8 Asterion 44.7
Yeti proves that inaction is, indeed, sometimes the best course of action. Congratulations on winning this quarter.
Wins this quarter:
3 Duke
2 Dag, Missy, Oslo, Root
1 Ast, Yeti
Money finishes this quarter:
8 Duke
7 Dag, Missy
5 Oslo, Root
3 kyy
2 ast, yeti
bubbles:
3 Missy, Oslo
2 Dag, kyy, root
1 Ast
*At least we don’t have to drive anywhere or even go outside for Our Little Game, but, still, I think I need a nap to recover from this quarter: power and internet outages are not good for the psyche.

You don’t have to speak around it, O. We all understand at you age naps are necessary.
grumble “Moodswing Messiah” ?? grumble
WOOT!
My strategy worked!!!
Ok, I was actually a busy guy…and my wife’s violin lessons and my son’s baseball practices interfered with my game time of 7pm Pacific. Do I get to make the next thread? Any ideas?
Now that you mention it, Yeti, there was one idea that struck a bit of a chord with the group.

Aw, crap…I just open up this one. Let’s take a vote.
Maybe they could be merged? I like yours.
