I do the Chicago Poker Room guide for www.ChicagoPokerClub.net. I have not been to Potawatomi since it opened. I would like to know what games and limits are now being spread. Last time I was there I think the rake was $4. Thank You in advance and if in Chicago check out our poker room guide.

This info is a few months old, but I believe its a 10 table "poker closet" extremely cramped. They spread:

Limit
2/4
3/6 (they didnt before but I think it got added)
5/10
10/20 if your lucky

NL
3/5 NL 200 buy in (?, not sure)

Stud
1/5

I haven't been since January but I'm pretty sure the 3/5 NL has a 600 max buy-in. 10/20 had been slowly dying, tough to keep a full table when it was running so I stopped playing their.

No alcohol/smoking in the room. IIRC, the rake was 10% up to $5. All limit game are kill games as well. Dealers overall aren't bad, a couple poor floor managers however. Play in the room is pretty bad, excluding a handfull of decent players in the NL.

You are correct about the $4 rake.
That's a funny joint. They have a very nice electronic wait list board. The employees are EXTREMELY knowledgeable in the use of the their electronic gadget. So, the board is always aglow with all kinds of limits and games with many names listed for the games. You see folks waiting to play, just looking at the well appointed, lit up board. Problem is...at any given time, at least five of those games (with 15 or 20 names listed) won't be in action...no dealers, no tables. Looking at that board, you would think you just walked into Borgata, with about 60 tables, rather than those 8 to 12 tables.
