Any NL games in Reno?
 

I have to make a visit the in-laws to be at Tahoe in March and since I'll be stuck going through Reno anyway and the snow might not be good, does anyone know if there are any decent NL cash games there? Decent meaning 5/10 uncapped or > 5/10 capped buyin games.

I live in Tahoe, used to play a lot live but not too much anymore so I may be a little off with these.

Eldorado always has a 2/3/5 uncapped game, usually couple players with 1kish stacks, couple shorties. Ok game, occasionally plays a bit deeper.

Peppermill either has a 2/3 or 5/10 game going. 2/3 is capped at 1500, if they have a 5/10(which is rare) its uncapped. Def call them first.

Also call Harveys in South Lake. I think they also have a 2/3ish game capped at 1500. They will run bigger but there is rarely demand for it.

Pretty bad poker town overall.

I have lived in the area since October. The action is horrible! Unless on weekends, the biggest NL game in Lake Tahoe is 2/3 (300). On the weekends, Harvey's spreads 2/5 (1000). However, it usually isn't very good. Unless of course, I am playing in the game, drinking as usual.

Reno is a waste of time. I only go there to fly out to Las Vegas.

The WPT will be at the Reno Hilton from March 8-28th for the World Poker Challenge. Last year when I was there during this event they had lots of NL cash games including 2/5 NL Uncapped, 5/10 NL uncapped, and a 25/50 NL game (not sure if it was capped or not, but Gabe Thaler was sitting at it). If you are in town during those dates *especially toward the end* you can probably find some very decent deep-stack NL games going.

Just moved from Tahoe. Harvey's the 3/5 $1000 cap game. It's probably the biggest game in the area. Atleast it starts at 200BB + monkeys. If you are ther during the WPT (world poker challenge) in reno then you are lovin it. Tons of action. You name it and they're spreadin it at the Hilton. NL/PL holdem/omaha/triple draw/stud h/l. Very fun for about a week.

Thx to everyone for the info, actually I'll likely be there from the 21-22 through the 26th or so so this is great news for me. Nothing like tourney players in cash games.

I played with a couple of older guys here in SF last week from Reno. They said the Peppermill is getting either a 5/10 or 10/20 uncapped game going just about every weekend.
