Turning Stone Questions
 

I was planning a prospective trip to New York to visit some friends and thought I'd stop in at Turning Stone. I was curious about a few things...

- How tough are the 10/20, 15/30, and 20/40 hold 'em games respectively?

- What is the highest they usually have Omaha 8OB spread?

- What are, on average, the juciest games?

any help from those with some experience playing there is greatly appreciated.

The games are good play about 30hours a week in them if you can beat 5-10 on party you can beat this game. Your not going to have much a chioce between 10-20 15 30 and 20 40 because there is usually only one of them going besides maybe fri/weekend.15 30 is usually the game.

i hear the limit games are pretty soft. lots of regulars (who are probably bad). the NL games are very soft, i'd suggest trying those out if you have some nl experience

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

Thanks for the information. And, just a clarification concerning the first reply, were you saying the 15/30 game in specific is relatively soft or just the games in general?

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

97% of the time its a good game imo

The regulars range from just below average to very bad in the limit games. Its kinda annoying when you don't have the role for 10/20, but the third uber fish gets off the 5/10 game to play higher.

all the games there are soft except the w/e the biggest NL game is tends to be 3/4ths solid and 1/4th drunk. 15/30 is really soft for 15/30

Turning stone 15-30 game was extremly soft while i was there. A+++. Some dude had to wait 5 minutes to reload cause he went over his 4k a day withdraw limit. No joke.

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

are you a 1530 regular jsaw?

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

games are soft people dont fold, if u get cards u get paid, dont bluff people at 100 max if ur playing NL the highest 08game that runs regularly is 4/8, the 1-5 spread stud game is fun to goof around at il be there tomorrow for 65$ tourney at noon and thurs for stud and maybe some NL

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

What about NL?

Is the highest game 5/10 NL? Is it no- cap? what does the average player buy in for?


I'll be there next Friday night. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

nl 5/10 is usually uncapped. sometimes they also run a 1k max. practise game selection, the hourly will sometimes be higher at 5/5. if you see a bunch of kids sitting with 10k, they're probably 2p2.

Re: Turning Stone Questions
 

for 08 action...ive never seen anything like it. table vpip is roughly 80%, with a pfr of about 0. u will see only about 25 hands per hour max, which sux, .. mostly because the players dont know what their own hands are. its terrible. bring ur ipod, or have a friend there so u dont get bored to death.

they normally spread 4/8 for sure Thurs-Weekend. they will spread 6/12 if the interest is high enough, but it normally doesnt unless its tourny week.

enjoy the room tho. nice place. and get the poker rate. u dont need to do anything but call the poker room and ask em, and they sign something when u check in. its like 85/room/night, which is plenty good enuff if its just u and ur boys.

I only played there once about a year ago durning the big tourneys, the 15-30 game I was in was REDICULOUS, I dont know if this is common place or was just because of the tourney though.
