I went to Gila River tonight to play in this game. Here are some thoughts and observations.

Howard -

Your review is dead on! Of course, with no experience in the 15-30 game, I didn't know just how good it was. I currently have no business playing in that game, but it's nice to know that it compares well to other places.

The noise was difficult to deal with on Friday night. I sat in the 7 seat and I barely could hear the dealer and the players that sat in the 2-3 seats. However, the game was very good. I almost pulled an all-nighter (my job has me waking up at 5am and I left that place at 3).

Gila River is 15 minutes for me door-to-door and I have been struggling lately with the smoke issue. I'm fine when I'm playing (because almost every game is very good), but when I come home it's just brutal.

Do you think the no-smoking ban that the voters passed will affect the smoke, or would it just make the games worse?
