I was there last Saturday and played 1/2. I usually play 1/2, sometimes 5/5. My wife played 3/6/12 limit and a little 1/2 NL. I had some really unlucky hands, but nothing outrageous. Flopped nut straight and lost on turn to boat...flopped top set and lost on turn to flush. Both times the money was allin on flop. Overall, it really depends on what your table is like. I found a good table later in the night and was able to win some money back plus some. The players at 5/5 are way better than the players at 1/2. They don't have must-move 1/2 tables though, so the tables tend to break apart later and get short handed. The 5/5 tables always have a main game that will keep playing full if possible.

I just got back from the Isle. I got killed but it happens. Anyway Friday and Saturday nights they have a wicked 5/10 PLO High game, $500 min $1000 max (or 1/2 the largest stack) buyin. I hope to be rolled for that game soon, looks real juicy.

as crappy as the rakes are in the Houston cardrooms, I'd play in those before I drove out to Lake Chuck... I think the Isle is landmine city donkeyfest...

Played at Isle yesterday for 12 hours in the 5/5 NL game and I drove in from Houston. The drive in isn't bad (2 hrs) and that stretch of I-10 is as unmessed up as I've ever seen it.
I thought it might suck because the max BI is $300, but you can BI for 50% of the big stack. Stacks get big in this game quick too, I was playing in games where people had $2k+ on the table. They had like 4 games running also. Overall the game is donkish, but it is tighter than Harrahs NO's 2/5 NL. If you reraise pf, they automatically put you on AA/KK. It live poker though, typical LP stations. It's a good game and I will be going back some time in the near future. If you can beat 50nl online, then you can beat this game. Like the 5th hand I played there: playing 6 handed in the must move game and it folds to the old guy on the BTN who limps, and the blinds check. Flop is T52r, SB pots, BB folds, and BTN makes a big raise. SB shoves and BTN snapcalls with QQ, T2o good, brunsowned. Then BTN looks at me and says "I never play trash like that," lawl. One more: asian in EP makes it 25 pf (guy has like $5k at the table and seems to be the best player there). There are two cold callers and the BTN makes it $140 with like $150 behind. EP shoves and it folds back to BTN who instafolds AKo face up. EP shows QQ and BTN says "yeah I put you on queens," excellent fold sir. I also won a players share of the BBJ for like 1200, sweeeeeeeeeet. |
