Mississippi and Louisiana cardrooms: NL rake & capped?
 

I'm trying to put together a list of Mississippi and Louisiana casino cardrooms and whether their NL games are raked or have a timed seat charge. Also, I'm interested in if their games have capped or uncapped buy ins. Here’s an incomplete list of casinos, help out if you can:

The Goldstrike 1/2nl is $100 min buy in with no cap. You are allowed to rebuy for less (don't know the amount) than $100 if you have chips still in your stack....that maybe where the $50 comes in.

Their 2/5nl is uncapped also but I don't know the buy in...probably $200.

Re: Mississippi and Louisiana cardrooms: NL rake & capped?
 

They moved the poker room across the street to the Golden Moon.

The NL2-5 game is 100 min 500 max or 1/2 the big stack. The NL5-10 is 500 min with a 5k max but I don't think the 5K max is a firm rule.


Rake is $4 with $1 jackpot drop.

Re: Mississippi and Louisiana cardrooms: NL rake & capped?
 

Uncapped............good luck beating that crap!

Re: Mississippi and Louisiana cardrooms: NL rake & capped?
 

Isle of Capri in Lake Charles

Its raked

CAPPED BUY-IN

The cap is $60 minimum buy-in, in the $1/2

The cap is $100 minimum buy-in, in the $5/5



Both Games have the same max cap:

The Max Cap is a buy-in of HALF of the big stack at the table.

Re: Mississippi and Louisiana cardrooms: NL rake & capped?
 

Fishead, uncapped just means the bad players have more money on the table to lose, what's wrong with that?

Landlord79, I see that you and your partner are regulars there, but tworags has lots of holes in their coverage. Looks like you've given 'em a nice start on LA, though.

To the rest of the gang, I appreciate all the info so far, but more is needed especially for some of the less popular locations. Thanks!

I should have another trip report up sometime next week as I'll be at the Horseshoe Bossier Friday and Sat. I'm glad that you appreciate my blog though.

I'm also a mod on the SE Region's forum, it's brand new and just starting up, so if you guys want to swing by and post some info on your local cardrooms, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll hopefully be starting a "Tells" thread there before long for the benefit of everyone (including me.) [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Mississippi and Louisiana cardrooms: NL rake & capped?
 

Landlord79 (or anyone), can you tell me anything about the new casino in Amelia, LA: Amelia Belle? Their site and press releases indicate they have a Poker room. I'd hate to make the trip just to find a table covered in cobwebs.
