Best poker room in Tunica for beginner??

[dum-a-chum]

Hey guys,
I haven't played a lot in Tunica and I'm headed over next weekend with my wife. Now while I have played plenty of live cash games, my wife has not and she would like to play this trip. While I usually play NL, I think I'd like to play limit this trip so that she can't lose a lot of money on one hand.

I think right now Sam's Town runs the lowest limit in town (2/4)??? Which room would be good for me to take her to?? I'm sure she would like one where the players are friendly, probably the least-crowded room, etc.

Thanks for the help....

The $2-4 a SAm's Town is a very friendly game. Disclosure: I haven't played it for a long time like two years so things might be different but I bet not.

They smoke if that is a problem.

I just played at the Grand in Tunica for three days last month. It doesn't have as many tables/action as Gold Strike & Horseshoe, but it's a good room. There was a bus tour group from MO there on President's day in the late morning/early afternoon. I walked in around 11:30 or so, and saw they were spreading a $3/6 game (usually only $4/8 goes). I got a seat right away, and played with literally 6-7 ladies who had NEVER played poker in a casino before. They asked the floor if they could spread a lower stakes game for them, and they did. The dealers were all asking the players to post $2 & $4 blinds mistakenly. Apparently $3/6 only goes in the summer when the room is really full. Ended up +200 in a little over two hours or so. I got up when they started the $2/10 stud game (which was also really good BTW). If you have the $ play $4/8 also, there's money to be made in that game if you can survive the swings.

I say anywhere, the players are terrible down there. A few good NL playes, but 3/6 and 4/8 you should profit from. When I went last month one of my friends that went had never played anymore than a $1 SNG on UB and did fine.

When I went to Sam's Town a few months ago they were only spreading 3/6 and 4/8 (no 2/4). For 3/6 action I would play at the Gold Strike.
