Re: Horseshoe Tunica best pokerroom in MS?
 

What is the poker rate at the Horseshoe? I vaguely recall reading somewhere that it had changed recently.

Horseshoe is the best for a number of reasons.
Reason 1. Game variety. Gold Strike may spread the same number of games but they're all 3-6 and 1-2 NL. At Horseshoe you'll find 4-8, 10-20, 20-40 and stud. Omaha 10-20 with a half kill had been going strong the last few weeks.
Reason 2. Food. Dolye himself said Horseshoe Tunica has one of the best buffets in the country. The snack bar is also awesome even if you like your food table side. I have yet to say no to writing a comp to anyone that plays.
Reason 3. Staff. We have the best dealers and floor in town by far.

One thing I have been curious about is why Horseshoe doesn't track your poker play with the players card. For instance I have enough play on my card at Sam's Town that I could easily get comped as soon as I walk in the poker room, plus mailings. Unless I play BJ or something at HS I never get in the system.

Harrah's doesn't give a [censored] about poker players and will never mail anything to you if that's all you play. My wife plays quarter video poker for about two hours every time we go to tunica and she gets tons of [censored] in the mail; I play poker only and get zero.

Is the Horseshoe the best poker room in Mississippi?
Yes !
What is this? Some sort of a trick question?

Is it the best poker room in the midwest?
Sure.
Probably a few contenders for 2nd thru 4th.

Is it the best poker room in the USA?
Maybe.
Venetian has plusher surroundings. AC and Foxwoods has more cranky players. Bellagio has a ruder floor staff. LA Commerce card barn has 150 more tables -- filled with thousands of crazy people.

So, yeah. I think its the best in the USA. But then, I haven't played in Detroit or Reno yet.

Re: Horseshoe Tunica best pokerroom in MS?
 

I've played in both. Go with the Grand's 1pm over Sams on the basis of the starting chipstacks. Levels are the same at a pathetic 15 minutes. I will say though Sams seems to get more people for their tournaments, so prize pool if you get lucky would be bigger there.

Best structure by far is at the Shoe though as others have said.

I called a couple of the poker rooms, and found one that seems better @ the Grand Casino. It's a $100 Freeze Out ($25 juice). Starting stack 5000 (rather than 2500 @ Sam's Town). Structure seems kinda fast, but I think they're all gonna be fast.

I'd be down w/ the $200 + $30, but I'm going for my bachelor party, and not sure many of the other dudes would be willing to pony up $200. Still looking for anyone who's played in one of these...

For softest cash games, nicest room/chairs/tables/food service/management/dealers: BEAU RIVAGE hands down. Best buffet too, comped of course.

Have to deduct points for the $5+1 drop on limit games and time drop for NL last time I was there though, that is the only thing the rooms in Tunica beat it on in my opinion.
