Default Re: Mixed Games at Casino Arizona

There is no poker at "the other CAZ" - the only room is at Indian Bend, and that's the location of the new building once it is finished.

I don't have TONS of experience, but maybe 6-7 sessions this year and about 45 hours logged, so FWIW:

* S/8 and O/8 are by far the most popular - probably total 80% of the games/time. Next closest are probably Crazy-P, Omaha Hi, and Any Annie (sp?) which is stud hi/lo with no qualifier.

* No draw games are allowed

* Most of the regulars want to play 60-120 mix... I'm not quite there yet but will take a shot if the game is full. When I'm there I try to get it started at 40-80, preferably with no kill.

* So far this summer (slowest time of the year) it seems the lifecycle of the mix game is the typical 4-5-6 players get the game started, it fills up within an hour or so and goes for a few hours, and then (especially with a kill or at the 60-120 level) a few people get clobbered and/or kill the game, and then the game dwindles back down to 4-5 players.

* My understanding is that as fall/winter time comes around, there is a larger pool and therefore the game becomes more sustainable, and multiple tables are not uncommon, up to 75-150. But I can't verify - others here probably could.

* As far as the pool of players - it's the smallest of course, and especially at those limits. You will be playing with a few very strong professionals, a few rich lawyer/doctor types, a few nitty weak/tights who buyin for a rack hoping to get lucky, and occasionally a donkey (me) who is trying to learn. :-)

Good luck.
