Re: Leaving for New Orleans tomorrow- whats the poker situation?
ATC, Harrah's has the biggest casino in New Orleans proper with the largest poker room. Unfortunately, it only spreads 3/6 limit and 1/2 and 2/5 NL with regularity. Sometimes there is 5/10 NL and 15/30 Omaha.
The best poker option nearby seems to be the Beau Rivage in the Mississippi Gulf Coast. When I was there last fall, they spread a 10/20 limit game and it seemed like it was going to be a regular game. They also had 4/8 limit IIRC, and we even played some 20/40 limit for a while (though I don't think this runs regularly).
As far as the quality of play, it is pretty weak and the games can probably be beaten despite the pretty bad rake structures. At Harrah's the rake is capped at $5 plus there is a $1 BBJ toke for limit games and a $6/half hour time charge for NL. I believe the Beau Rivage limit rake was maxed at $4 plus a $1 BBJ toke.
Hope that helps, and enjoy New Orleans. Any money spent in the Crescent City is greatly appreciated. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
