Mountaineer Trip Report- WV

[IWEARGOGGLES]

I'm taking my old man down on Friday for his birthday.

There isn't a NL game higher than 5/10? How is the 5/10 game? Is there an interest list for 10/20?

Thanks.

They got off a 10/20NL game - 7k max buy-in - last night. Haven't heard a report yet on how it went.

I went to wheeling late on friday night. left pittsburgh at 2:30 am and got down there around 3:30. when i arrived i was pleasently surprised how big the room was. I immediately got on to the 2-5 NL list. I was told i was to play on table 3 seat 10 but when i got to my table, the seat was filled so i had to sit and wait for one to open ( about a half hour) there were only two 2-5 tables going at that hour and also a 5-10 game. I bought in for 400 and by about an hour into the session I had made a little over 500. The game was extremely tight/ easy. I play pretty aggressive and loose but really didnt run into any problems. I cashed out at 7 am with 1040. It was a solid 4 hours.

I am planning on going back down sometime this week. Maybe ill see some of you guys down there. I joined this forum today, figuring I should spread the word of how weak the game was....

Went out after work on saturday.Got there at about 4am and there was still a lot of people playing. Dealers were working overtime due to the unexpected crowd. I played 1/2 NL, very soft game, alot of limping/calling PF not many reraises at all.
Broke even after 4 hours of play. Witzo is right about the dealers, actually thought the floor people were just as bad. One guy at our table asked one of the floor people if he could get our cocktail waitress, that was nowhere to be found(they only had 1 girl for the whole room) , and he told him that he had better things to do than go looking for cocktail waitresses. I believe this was reported to upper mgmnt., cuz the dude at the table was pissed.
The hands/hour rate is horrendous, but is made up for by the weak player base. I don't see how everyone made it though dealer school. Maybe they never had tests. It's funny to see how akward the staff looks. I would say that about 80% or better look uncomfortable or lost. They should of hired a consulting company or at least went to vegas to some of the well ran rooms and tried to develope a system from that. How about the 20" flat panel TV's that are lined around the perimeter of the room about 50'away LOL? This is hilarious, you can barely even see whats on the screen. Hopefully in a couple of months they can get this thing moving, definitley a lot of potential here.

I hear you on the 7k buy-in. (And turns out it was 10/25 even!) I heard it basically went like this:

Someone opens for around $75. Five callers. Whoever flopped the nuts or big hand, makes a big bet and takes it down right there.

Went tonight for a tiny bit, (felt ill and went home). Games ran MUCH smoother. Had only one bad dealer (old female) and rest were pretty solid tonight.

Finally the floor doesn't need to verify bank every down so things sped up. Was told by a friend floor is still verifying chips when someone buys them from dealer but did not witness this first hand.

What is wrong about the $7000 max buyin?

Nothing, really. I guess I didn’t really think about his comment and thought he thought it was low. (The only 10/20 live games that I’ve seen spread always had a 10k buy-in.) But, really 7k is more than enough.
