The trouble with the aggressive bands of marauding mixed game enthusiasts in Vegas is they insist on playing hideously contrived split-pot draw games, multi-board bastardizations of the holy game of Omaha, and then compound the entire disaster with a blind/ante structure that ruins the stud variants. I will now get off my high HORSE.
