For a person that knows so much about Win %, you sure haven't figured out that no matter how hard you try, you are never going to outplay the lower limit players. These guys are at the Casino with $100 in their pockets and they couldn't care less about Pot Odds, or Pre-Flop Strategies. If you are basing your 2-4-4-8 play around a book, Good Luck!

Actually there is a book specifically about beating low limit holdem and the concepts work quite well for a normally structured game played against awful opponents like this.

Unfortunately you are correct that there is no book covering bizarre structures like 2-4-4-8 which is sort of the whole point of this complaint.

"The worst Comps of any Casino in the US." We offer $.75/hour towards comps. These comps can be used at any food venue, and we are in the process of allowing our players to use these comps at Retail Shops and for Hotel stays. I am sure that your online site that you play at offers much better comps than us, but we are competitive with all Rooms in our region, and more generous than many established Casino's around the country.

Belterra and Argosy both offer $1 per hour. The only place I've been that is lower than $.75 is Ameristar in St Louis which as mentioned above is at $.50.

I don't decide where to play poker for quick trips based on the comps. Neither $1 or $.75 add up to enough to make any real difference for a weekend trip every couple of months. I guess in that regard you are "competitive" because it's so low it doesn't factor in the decision as to where to play.

But whether you realize it or not you aren't just competing with Belterra and Argosy... We're meeting several people at Caesars tomorrow, otherwise we would already be well beyond Caesars on the way to Tunica for the whole weekend (good timing neteller... :-) ).

So far I've only been to Sam's Town -- they offer $2.50 an hour plus free hot dogs and other snacks in the poker room, and free alcohol (thank you mississippi...). We bought exactly one meal between us the last time we went and made more than enough on poker to cover all of the trip expenses with a profit.

That difference in total experience alone makes it worth the 3x longer drive right past caesars when we have the time.
