my first trip to winstar, TR, tl;dr

I think it's funny that on HSP they tip the dealer $5-$10 and at winstar any pot over $500 the dealer gets 20+. Yeah the rake sucks, 5+1 on all tables, especially the jackpot drop before the [censored] deal!! Every other damn hand when it gets to the small blind in a 1/2 game he looks puzzled as to where his small blind is and throws in 2 then the dealer throws one back, and it goes on and on til he realizes what happened.

it's a decent poker room there...i go on the weekends and theres plenty of fishes there...the 5/10 is the biggest nlhe they usually have and it can get really action packed...the 2/5 game is beatable...some good players but lots of fishes on the the weekends i've noticed...

For all you 4/8 LHE players in the DFW area that fly off to Vegas a couple of times of a year WINSTAR is a must visit. WINSTAR always has more 4/8 games going than any of the casinos there. I was playing 4/8 at the Venetian last month and a metroplex resident told me to check it out. I'm there (WINSTAR) at least once a week and have not been disappointed yet. The rake is a bit higher, but still a lot cheaper than a long weekend in Vegas. You won't get rich, but if you just enjoy playing for fun, and have a clue, you will get your gas money back and still have a buck or two left over for the TACO CASA. You will find the whole list of low limit "usual suspects" at every table. Nice extra is an occasional young gun 1/2 hotshot wannabe bringing his NL game to a low limit table. CHA CHING They will build you some very nice pots. Of course, you will have the normal swings, but a TAG can play one hand an hour and always get plenty of customers when its time to go to work.

Don't doubt it.

As for tipping the dealer $20, I dunno bout that, but I only play limit. I see Asians tipping 3,4,5 sometimes... but they came to GAMBOOOOOL and generally don't value money at all.
