The lowest at Resorts is 5/10 with a full kill, as somone already mentioned.

5/10 at Resorts does not have a kill. 10/20, 20/40 have half kill. Not sure about the 50/100.

It doesn't? I'm confused, I guess. The 5/10 at MSII does have a kill - I must have been thinking of that one.

the 1/2 NL game at MSII is great.. I just started playing it in the past week. Its a bit expensive at $6/half hr, but 1 "average" pot can pay for 2+ hours of poker easy.

Yeah, there's no Hollywood in Joliet. They've got the Empress and Harrahs, and neither have poker. Your only poker actually in Illinois is Hollywood aurora, which is a small room and strictly limit.

that's right harrahs...i said it had been a while.

That's something else I wanted to know about. I read something about paying for time there. What is that about or am I confused what I read.

Your question is about paying time? The NL games are not raked. Instead, every 30 minutes (right after the new dealer pushes into your game) you'll be expected to pay time. For the MSII 1/2 NL game, the time is $6/half-hour. It's a bit higher for higher games.

You may also have to pay time if you sit down shortly after time was taken. If you're not at the table when time is taken, someone will remove the proper chips from your stack for you. If you're getting ready to leave, it's best to time it with a time collection. You don't want to pay time and then leave 10 minutes later.
