Re: Chicago -- Resorts vs. Majestic Star 1/2 or 1/3 NL
I take the 1/3 majestic any day. I only play the 1/2 when on the list to play the 20/40 LHE at resorts seems to have less money on the table and be alittle nitty there is always a 5/10 1000 max going where at majestic the 300max is the big game most of the time. There are almost always $1000 plus stacks on the table the resorts 1-2 not the case.

Re: Chicago -- Resorts vs. Majestic Star 1/2 or 1/3 NL
I play both rooms frequently so Ill take this question.
Both rooms are no smoking; both have bars close by so drink service is decent. Both rooms allow you to call in up to 1 hour ahead to go on the list- you need to take advantage of this to cut down on wait time. Both have about 20 tables. Dealers are about the same in both rooms , maybe a little bit better at MS. Chip cages in both rooms. Most tables have auto shufflers. Resorts: Less space in between tables, room is much more cramped. Resorts has not kept the room up vs. Majestic Star. Room is a little more run down, but not terribly so. 1,2 buy in is 100 min/300 max, or 150 BBs. More donkeys, which is fine as long as the donkeys aint hitting. If they hit, variance is a mother. Gotta go downstairs to get some decent food, but you can order some crappy sandwiches at the table. Resorts gears itself more toward the high limit players, so sometimes lower limit games are tougher to get on, but not a real bad problem. Has lost ground to MS over the last couple of years, fewer players, tables break up earlier late at night. Majestic Star Much more room in between tables, room is bigger overall. Room is in much better shape, newer tables/carpets/flat screens 1,2 buy in 40 min/100 max (50 BB). This is the number one drawback with MS, the buy ins are screwed up. You cant play poker, set mine, or bluff properly. Think about it; normal raise is 12-15 dollars; you raise preflop, a couple of fish call, and youre pretty much pot committed with any c-bet. Too many hands become all in fests. Caters to lower limit players, generally more poker players in the room at a given time. Players are marginally better, but clearly beatable. Grill next to poker room, great sandwiches. Room is better run, has gained in business over the last two years vs Resorts. |
