Re: Kansas City
Welcome to Missouri, home of the second worst set of gaming regulations in the US. (Colorado is first, with the nice $3 max bet). Anyhow I live in KC and play frequently.
The basic breakdown is Limit at Ameristar and NLimit at Harrahs. Argosy has some of each but is in 3rd place when it comes to number of people playing.
As far as the wonderful "loss limit" we have it is easy to get around. The limit is $500 every 2 hours on the even hour. So if you want to have more then $500 in chips on ya, just arrive at 3:45 buy in and then at 4:01 buy in again and you now have $1000. Also on the subject of booze, there is nothing free in MO and you cannot pay for them with chips. You can tip with chips, but better have some cash for the booze.
Ameristar - 15 tables. They run 3/6 sometimes with a Kill and the 15/30. The 15/30 will have 8 regulars and one fish sometimes. Otherwise it is all regualrs. The use to start the game on Friday and it would run all weekend. Am not sure about it now, since I have not been over there in quite a while. The might have a table or two of NLimit, but will most likely be 1-2, with a 200 max buy in.
Harrahs - 12 tables. 3/6 with no kill. The rest of the room is NLimit 1-2 200 max and 2-5 500 max. On a typical weekend there will be three or four 2-5 games, four 1-2 game and then five 3/6 games. This is where I spend all of my time, since I like the 2-5 game. There is also a NLimit 5-10 500-5000 max buyin on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Maybe people want it to run on the weekends but the room will not do it for whatever reasons.
