I said it was a stagnant pool, but calling Horizon's Poker room a rat hole and crap hole is a little harsh. I can see why you guys would say that, finding the atmosphere lacking in elegance and the selection of games being so poor. As it is the only game in town, I've tried to support it, but they could do so much more.

Vicksburg used to have a lot more Poker action before management botched things up by closing the rooms at the Isle and Ameristar just in time to miss out on the WPT fueled Poker boom. I think there are also a lot of players that are interested in trying NL but are scared off by stacks at the smallest game available in the market, 2/5 NL. If they could try it at 1/2 (or 1/3) then I think we'd gradually see a whole new crop of NL players emerge.

Supposedly, there are some new Poker rooms coming with the building of one or two casinos in the area, so maybe you Louisiana guys will have something worth coming back for soon.
