If you are from Chicago what are your plans? Worth the trip or are you sticking to Northwest Indiana?

Side note - My biggest complaint is that Four Winds tries to keep as many tables as possible open even if both are running at 5 players each. On top of that, if your game does bust (which we only did when we dropped to three players) you don't get to take your chips with you. Playing NL, you can only buy back for the max of the table. Example, you start you night buying in for the full amount, $200 in this case, and proceed to spend a few hours building up your stack nicely to 5x the buy-in. Your table busts and you move to a new table. The e-tables only let you buy in for $200 once more and you pocket the other $800. I hate this rule.

I'm a limit player, who is making no money in Four Winds room, because it is a 3/6 limit room, so far. But, that's where I'm playing, until Harrah's (Horseshoe) opens it's room next year. I'm not spending a dime at the dilapidated existing "boats", until they spend money on physical improvements to the properties. The very brand name boats in NW Indiana have very nice casinos in other states and junk in NW Indiana. It's actually, rather insulting to customers who know better.

The items you mention in your "Side note" are an ominous sign of a badly operated room. I have already been "victimized" by my table not being "protected", when they opened a second 3/6. They even ASKED, if anyone wanted to move to the "new" game, because it was shorthanded. What?!
I don't play no limit, but what you mentioned about moving and the original buy-in rule, is a glitch, if you MUST move. Obviously, that should be changed.
World's First Electronic (computerized) Poker room, and they have installed the cheapest video sigh-in (the list)board (script is fuzzy !!), which has been inoperable since day one. It is "on". It doesn't work. Another sign of a badly operated room.
