It's a Lot to Keep Track of
Even with a large stable of pros, many of whom are used to playing mixed games, some players are having a hard time keeping track of exactly which game they're playing. As we've walked through the Amazon Room we've heard more than one player look at their opponent's hand and say, "I thought we were playing razz," or "I was playing the wrong game."
We could say that iPods, iPads, magazines, and massages are a part of the problem, but instead we'll just remind players that tournament officials have placed helpful plaques on the tables which tell players and dealers exactly which game is being played.
