Winstar, OK - new poker room - NO hand details

[Sweet James]

Winstar is tight. It definitely has potential to attract WSOP or WPT circuit tournaments down the reoad. Only complaints are high rake and the tournament blind structures though. I live in Denton now so I'm only 30 minutes away, PM me if you ever wanna chill up there or plan a 2p2 party.

BTW Gainsville, the last town you pass through in Texas before you cross over into winstar country (oklahoma), is the beef cattle raising capital of america. You can get some amazon steak, barbecue or home style cooking. I also camp out there when I register for tournaments that fill up fast and don't want to blow money on the casino. There's even an all you can eat barbecue placce that can keep you happy all day. Some cool honkey tonaks an bars too. Gainsville is definitely the place to get a hotel if you're going for an overnight trip.

Hotel in Gainesville FTW. Not sure where you get the idea it's the beef raising capital of America, though. It's where all the people too rich for Valley View and too poor for Denton live.

Also, Natas is absolutely correct about police presence on the highway.

I decided not to risk it...had a great steak and several drinks at III Forks tonight in Dallas. Felt it was better to just go home.
Next time...

xxxslicknick: I don't play NL live, but I'd say you got unlucky on table draw.

1/2 nl tables are usually pretty loose at winstar...6x BB raises get called by multiple people often, $15-20 raises occur a lot. I raised 6x BB UTG with AA last week and I had 6 callers and of course they didnt hold. I'm probably going to raise AA $15-20 pre-flop next time, will probably get a caller or 2 its usually so loose. I have gotten Aces cracked about 4 or 5 times in a row raising at least 5x BB pre-flop each time, never on aces cracked day.

Does anyone feel upset we have to commute hours through Texas to get to the OK border to play Texas Hold'em?

FYP.

So is the Red River Roundup played at WinStar? Still 18+ for this big event?

When driving up to Winstar, is there any place to eat in the small town of Gainesville? Denton, Tx is always a sight to drive past.

It also fun to drive past that huge airport where I believe is basically a FedEx runway for daily package flights.
