Re: my first trip to winstar, TR, tl;dr
For all you 4/8 LHE players in the DFW area that fly off to Vegas a couple of times of a year WINSTAR is a must visit. WINSTAR always has more 4/8 games going than any of the casinos there. I was playing 4/8 at the Venetian last month and a metroplex resident told me to check it out. I'm there (WINSTAR) at least once a week and have not been disappointed yet. The rake is a bit higher, but still a lot cheaper than a long weekend in Vegas. You won't get rich, but if you just enjoy playing for fun, and have a clue, you will get your gas money back and still have a buck or two left over for the TACO CASA. You will find the whole list of low limit "usual suspects" at every table. Nice extra is an occasional young gun 1/2 hotshot wannabe bringing his NL game to a low limit table. CHA CHING They will build you some very nice pots. Of course, you will have the normal swings, but a TAG can play one hand an hour and always get plenty of customers when its time to go to work.

Re: my first trip to winstar, TR, tl;dr
Yeah I played 5/10 with Lou last weekend......... still, I'd like to know who was there that claimed they had 3 bracelets. Since there are only 22 people with 3 WSOP bracelets, 2 of them are women, at least a dozen of them are playing at the WSOP right now, and at least one is dead, that sorta narrows down the field.

Re: my first trip to winstar, TR, tl;dr
Why the hell do you play 1/2 there. I learned my lesson after playing that game once at winstar and moved up to 2/5 or 5/10, instead of continuing to play 1/2 and moan on the internet about getting AA cracked all the time.
