The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

Since it looks like two Winstar threads have been created I figure by creating a single master thread we can keep all Winstar related chatter in here. Since most future talk won't be about Cinco and 4/22 meet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


Well I went up today 5/6 and played from 11 - 3:30pm. $1/$2NL and ended up up $102 for the trip. I was up $250 or so at one point but just bleed chips away the last hour + so I left before I ended up not making a profit. Nothing that exciting at my table.

Plan to make it up there again the weekend of May 18-20th. Not sure what exact day just yet. Would like to meet a couple local people to hopefully get into a home game one day. (I live in Keller/North Fort Worth Area)

I will be at the Scotty Nguyen in Tulsa that weekend, but maybe we can try for a 2+2 meetup the weekend after that.

Where in Keller do you live. I live off North Tarrant and Rufe Snow.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

I live right off 377 & Golden Triangle. So I am probably 10 or so minutes from you.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

going tonight. have green t-shirt, glasses, and kind of spiky hair w/a beard going as best i can. give me a sup bro if you're there

I'll be in dallas for training next week and have planned to arrive early afternoon monday and head up to the winstar (and assuming I don't lose too much I'll be back at least friday night if not other nights during the week :-) ).

I play online up to 3/6 but all of my live experience has been at smaller midwest cardrooms where typically the only limit spread is 3/6 and it's 8 to a flop no-fold-em.

Winstar sounds substantially bigger than what I'm used to. I'm assuming 4/8 is their lowest limit level? How does it play (especially on a weekday...)?

Do they comp food?

Any idea how long would it take to get there from the galleria area north of dallas during evening rush hour?

The 4/8 games are great, and there will probably be a minimum of 6 games going every night. It will you a while during the rush hour unfortunately... I think the best way during the rush hour is to take 75 to Sherman and then take 82 west to Gainsville. Then pick up I-35 in Gainsville and drive 5 miles to Winstar.

Btw, rage I was the guy on your left a few days ago.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

Yeah, 4/8 is totally beatable. Just not for me alla sudden.

sweet. good thing you said something, b/c i totally didn't understand what you said when you told me your name on here.

I really want to start playing some live PLO, but I really can't play 5/10 yet... I am going to be playing the 5/10nl game soon, but my PLO game is pretty bad still. That being said, I'm sure it's better than the average competition in a smaller PLO game at Winstar. Any chance of a 2/5 PLO game running ever, or am I crazy.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

how often does the 5/10 PLO go?

All I really know is that it was going when I went on Wednesday morning.... It broke a few hours later, but the stacks were pretty deep and it looked like it had been going for quite a while.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

we played short handed half 5/10nl half 2/5 plo a few nights ago. It was a crazy loose game. whole table agreed and floor consented. started as a 5/10 main game.

Wow... what an IDEAL game for me right now. I need to find a way to make this a regular game...

2/5 PLO has been going occasionally lately. My boy Karl sat in it the other night and sucked out pretty bad on someone (well, sorta), then bounced.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

I go to Winstar a lot. The 4/8 Limit game is really tough to profit because the house rakes in about $100-$200 an hour. So if more than 2 people profit after playing the 4/8 game for a substantial amount of time I would be very suprised.

The 1/2 NL game is soft, just play T/A and you shouldn't have too many losing sessions [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] .

I've played the 2/5 PLO 2 of the last 4 weekends up there. game is min 300 max 1k and plays pretty deep depending on the composition of the table. saturday at one point there was over 15k on the table easily and they bumped it up to a 5/5/10 game, min 500 max 2k. it got a little out of my comfort level at that point, despite sitting with over 2.5k at the time, so i called it a night and booked the win.

there are some genuinely horrible players and some *hyper* aggressive (and very predictable) old guys who just constantly mumble about us kids not having enough gamble (i'm 24).

It was pretty awesome eh? You missed the royal flush over straight flush beat and the 555 flop that was a $3k pot for the guy w the 5 who just called all the way as the asian gent in the 1 seat potted it all the way w/ AAxx. It broke about 2am


Nice to meet you BTW

i saw this go down right after i cashed out and left for the night. how much did that pay?

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

Nice to meet you as well.

My wife works with photographers, so days she has long weddings = days I go play poker. I'm now prodding her to get as many saturday weddings as possible.

I'm sad I missed the beats. So SF / RF won the table the jackpot? Did the maniac to my left end up busto or robusto? He was in for 5k by the time i left, but had a pretty big stack.

I still say by far the sickest hand was the 3k+ pot AIPF 6778 vs KKT4

The bad beat on the omaha tables pays only $2500. I think the beat-ee got 50%, the beat-er got 30%. All the rest of us at the table got $70 ea. woot.

Re: The MASTER WINSTAR general chat. Meetups, room, tournies, etc...
 

that needs to be changed... they take progressives from the omaha tables as well

yeah that was sick, and I still am hating myself for calling off the $200 pf then folding to the re-re raise... ugh. Oh well I'm glad I still had an intact stack for the QQQ vs 333 hand, which made most of my night.

Still think the sikkkkkest was the very old laggy gent raised it, bet it, then won at showdown with only 55xx

The guy to your left was bust by the time I got a seat back at the table. The guy in the 8 seat had almost 10k before he racked out. It tightend up and became a limpfest for a while. Still, had a great time, left up about $2k
