Re: no beer?
Is it mostly Hold Em now?
When I played there years ago the main games were Omaha/8 and 2/10 stud/8.

no beer?
Is the poker room still dry?

Re: Treasure Island (MN) $2-$60 Game
I get the rooms confused, but I believe that Treasure Island and Hinckley spread 5/60 Hold Em. Mille Lacs definitely spreads 2/60, at least that was one their interest list last Saturday afternoon.

Re: SSO8 in Vegas
Palace Station and the Orleans; you can play cards with the local pensioners.
I doubt you'll find anything downtown. Binions used to have Omaha high only, but that may have dried up.

Re: Casino w/ the Nastiest Poker Chips?
Excalibar, the Plaza, El Cortez, Sam's Town; they are all nasty. How about the tournament chips at Luxor?
