Reno El Dorado - mid-week

[KreellKeiser]

I'm gonna be staying the night at the El Dorado next Wednesday (24th) to play some poker with my dad. I know the El Dorado is supposed to have a good room. I was just curious on how it is on Wednesday nights. I saw they have a tourney, anyone have experience with it? Also, how soft will the cash games be in the middle of the week? I don't really have a preference between limit or no limit, basically whatever is the juicier game.

I figure I'll play the tournament and then cash games and just stay up pretty much all night, or until things die down. If the tourney isn't too good, should I just play at Circus Circus instead?

I know the Peppermill is supposed to be good, but since I'm staying at the El Dorado, I figure it'd be easier to jsut play there or at CC.

Thanks for any advice.

PS: I'm basically a low limit player because of basically no bank roll. 3-6 or 4-8 limit, and preferably 1-2 no limit, but a little higher is doable. Anyoen know what's spread at ED and CC?

It feels good to hear that I am not the only one in that boat.


My work schedule changed about 6 months ago and I started working on the weekends and having 3 weekdays off. I noticed in my local casino, the weekday crowd was mainly the tight regulars. Not nearly as many fishy donators as I was used to.

That's kind fo what I'm afraid of. I'm hoping the fact that they hold a Wednesday night tournament draws some more fish. Anyone have any experience with El Dorado mid-week?

I played there midweek last year. There was a mix of locals and tourists. I played for about 12 hours straight - I think it was either 2/4 or 3/6 limit w/kill. I bought in for $100 and cashed out with $600. I thought it was juicy. Most of the players were drunk - including myself. But I had a great time.

I also played at the Peppermill, but I couldn't give you any REAL info about that because it was during a tournament week and there were way more players there than normal and it was held in banquet room instead of the poker room.

i'm also curious what others have to say about the best prospects for low limit players in reno. i will be working in reno this summer, and would like to find a few good live games or maybe some tournaments to play. i have a small roll, just a couple of thousand. let me know how the el dorado treats you, as i am in a very similar situation as you poker-wise.

never mind, i just found the other thread on reno cardrooms and will browse that, unless people have a lot to add.
