Oneida in Green Bay

[Nuevo99]

Anyone ever play in Green Bay? I see they have tournaments on Monday and Wednesday evening.

I live in Milwaukee so I play a lot at Potawatomi and have wondered if it's worth driving all the way to Green Bay (1.5 to 2 hour drive) to check their room out.

I usually play 2/4 or 3/6 limit at Potawatomi, from what Ive heard Oneida doesnt have 2/4 and they dont have kill pots.

Im curious to find out what sort of players are there. The Potty has wild loose players from Illinois, not sure where the really bad players would come from at Oneida.

Any news on this. I will be heading there tomorrow for the first time and would like to get a feel of what might be in store? Also thinking about entering the Wed night Tournament $65 buy-in. How many players do they get?

3-6 is full of bad, loose, passive players.

I've never played NL there, but a friend who has says it's super soft.

I played in one tourney once. Really bad players, but a really bad structure too.

I've played at both Potawatomi and Oneida and come to one single conclusion:

Oneida is FAR superior in almost every regard. First of all, the poker area is not a poker closet like Potawotomi, but an area with short walls and a rail. You can keep a cellular phone on you. You can actually order and drink spirits in the room, although you have to pay for them. The players are horrible but fun and the dealers are generally average but fun. Every table I played at has an automatic shuffler.

My only problems with the room are: the chips. The chips feel plastic (although they are happy and brightly colored) and when I played 3/6 and asked for a rack of $1 chips, I got some real strange looks both at the cashier's cage and at the table.

The rake. 10% to $5, bad even for the midwest.

The rules of poker are slightly looser than at Potawotomi. In my experience (a couple months ago), when you first arrive at the table, you are not forced to post blinds. It's both good and bad -- bad because it suggests a less professional game but good because the game goes faster and is less nit-picky.

I'm pretty at the 3-6 level, there's at least a few bad players from WI (they don't all come from IL). /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Don't know anything about the poker, but I did know they had a $100 min. single deck blackjack game that I can't play anymore.

Can't imagine why...

I'm Kramer's (above poster) friend who has played the NL games there. It's very, very soft, but also horribly structured.

Their $200 Max NL game has blinds of $2/$5, so you only start with 40 BB. Same thing for their $400 Max NL game ... blinds at $5/$10. But I've played there three times, and I've made money all three times, because there are too many players there who are total calling stations.

If you play tight, you WILL get paid off on your big hands.

As for their tournaments, I played their Monday night tourney once (with Kramer.). I had fun, but that's probably because I took 5th out of about 130 (they ALWAYS cap at 100, but anywhere from 20 to 30 people on the waiting list get in before the end of the first hour). Kramer is right - the tournament does have a horrible structure, the blinds go up fast (every 15 minutes), and you really have to hit it big in the first hour or two if you want to have a chance. It's fun, though, no question about it.

Better room overall than Potty, IMHO. I hope you enjoy yourself.
