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.

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.

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

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.
