not sure, they re-did the room i guess. no $2 chips just a buttload of $1 chips and some $4 chips.

only thing i played when I was there was the 300cap 2/5nl so i dont really know what other games were like. I'd imagine they are all really soft.

There are no $4 chips at Turning Stone (I assume that was a typo -- I don't know any casino that has $4 chips). Nor are there any $2 chips (or plans to get them). I was there last night and played the $4/8; $1 and $5 chips were used. I asked a couple of the floors about $2 chips, and they said they knew of no plans to get any new chips.

Turning Stone changed from 3/6 to 4/8 very recently, well after the change to the new room. The lowest game went from 1/3 to 2/4. The 5/10 has become 6/12, I believe, but I didn't really notice because I was happy with the 4/8. Of course, they had lots of 100/200/300 max NL tables too.

And yes, the games are incredibly soft. I thought of posting one hand in the "why games will always be good" thread, but instead will post it here as an example of the amazing play at the 4/8.

I raised utg with AKo. Four people cold-called, as did both blinds. Flop was QT2r. I bet; five of six call. Important action was the turn which put QT2J on the board, giving me the nut straight. Another player and I capped the betting while two other players came along for the ride. Four of us see the river pairing the 2s, but I still bet, getting 2 callers. The other raising player had K9 for the lower straight, one of the other players called the river with two pair (Qs and Js), the last player folded to my river bet. I dragged a monster pot, over $200. A player new to the table was astonished that the player had cold-called with K9 (not even soooted!) and that he might think his hand was good. I was not astonished at all.
