Also is the 1-5 stud game still the old timers... I loved playing in that game everyone calling me son and a couple of them telling stories.. Good times

LOL. I play in that game sometimes & they call me son too...but I'm not that young.

That game can be pretty juicy at times if:
a. you don't mind playing stud
b. like calling stations
c. don't mind the mumblin' & bitchin' about you betting the whole $5 on every street.

Does that game go on all day... I don't think I've ever been during the day and didn't see it running

Brad, are you a regular in Tunica

They all must hate Moneymaker. Before 2002ish it seems like there was always 8-10 stud games going and 1 LHE game going.

Re: Best place to play and stay in Tunica
 

One of the best times I've ever had at a poker table was at the 1-5 stud game. I sat down with a rack of whites and as soon as I sat down they all looked at me and said "this isn't a holdem table son those games are over there" pointing to the other tables. I replied "I know, I just wanted to learn a new game". The all laughed and started to tell me the strategy and all this about stud... I just played along like I didn't know what I was doing, seem to be betting like I didn't know what was going on. When I would drag a pot everyone acted like they were my grandfather saying see now you are getting the hang of this, good job son. It was sooo funny. Then they preceded to tell me about all the girls they would get if they were my age and how I should try and pick up every waitress that walked by. It was the greatest...

This is true, they do rarely bug you about it, but it IS against the rules. I'm not sure why they ignore it.

Kayaker,
I really think Sam's town is the softest game that I played in in Toontown.

That's what the buddy I went down there with said when we were deciding where to go. Unfortunately, most of the regulars from Hollywood were at ST that weekend. The impression I was given was that the move was more or less permanent.

Re: Best place to play and stay in Tunica
 

Hollywood has regulars??? I wouldn't think they could make enough money there... cap buy in, away from the major casinos and all... When I go with some of my friends and they don't wanna put up alot of money to gamble we go there...

Re: Best place to play and stay in Tunica
 

Your guess is as good as mine. Just going by what they told me. There were at least seven or eight of them variously through the weekend. Apparently something happened to hack off one of the floors and a couple of the regulars got bent out of shape and left. The other regulars followed them out the door and they all moved over to ST.

I don't know the specifics of what happened, but I do know a purposefully bent duece played a role. Things escalated from there.

There are a lot of regulars that pick a casino because they can play without risking there money. A lot of people go to the poker room because they have no place else to go.

Re: Best place to play and stay in Tunica
 

what???? Does anyone else have any info on this; when did it happen, what exactly happened...
