Re: NO LIMIT cash games.........IOWA???
Meskwaki (Tama)
Prarie Meadows (Des Moines) Dubuque Greyhound Track Riverside (South of Iowa City) - 2-5 only Horseshoe??? (not sure of the name, but in Council Bluffs) Isle of Capri (Davenport) - only spreads 2-5 on weekends These are the ones I've played at. All are pretty much confined to 1-2 and 2-5, except on rare occassions when you can find a bigger game going (5-10) at Riverside, Prarie Meadows, or Council Bluffs. Games are usuallly pretty short stacked, a mixture of okay older guys (lags) and young kids who are too tight but can't fold top pair and maniacs who quickly lose their 40BB buyin. Most casinos offer a Bad Beat Jackpot (exception Tama, I think). Rake is 3+1 or 4+1. Games definitely beatable, people usually friendly. |

Horseshoe is in Council Bluffs. They have 1/2 and 2/5 NL. Games are usually pretty soft. Rake is 10% up to 5 bucks which is pretty terrible. No smoking in the poker room. I doubt you can smoke at these other joints either but I don't know for sure.

In addition to the ones already mentioned, the Argosy Casino (river boat) in Sioux City usually has 1/2 and 2/5 tables going in the evening.
Also, Prairie Rose Casino in Emmetsburg, IA usually has a 1/2 game most evenings. Sometimes it's 3/6 Limit depending on what everyone at the tables wants to play. Jiggs77 |

Re: NO LIMIT cash games.........IOWA???
FH,
When I played there a couple months ago, they played No Limit. They only have one table going and it was in the middle of the casino. It depends on what everyone wants to play. The game started at about 6:30 pm and there was a waiting list when I left a few hours later. They did allow smoking at the table and people even had their racks on the table. Keep in mind, this was a few months ago. Good Luck! Jiggs77 |

Meskwaki is garbage. Don't even bother, all you'll find there is a 3/6 limit game and a disgustingly bad buffet.
Riverside doesn't spread 1/2, so you'll find plenty of donkeys throwing away short-buys at 2/5. Only con to that place is 4+1 rake and nonfree drinks. |
