Harrahs Metropolis, Illinois
Wanted to update the most recent post on Harrah's Metropolis. Now, the only game they ever spread is 2-5 nl with NO CAP on the buy-in. I am still sort of new to no limit, but I felt this game would be a gold mine for good deep stack players. At first, I was afraid of the no cap aspect of the game, but the loose and horrible play made it less intimidating. It seemed like 2 of every 3 pots was over $300, with the typical 7 players to flop for $25 each. Got to see QQ beat 88 on a QQ858 board. Too bad there is no bad beat jackpot in this room. If any of you are in the area, I think it's worth the trip. Last night, they had 3 of the 4 tables going for the entire time I was there. I managed to finish +700 and never had a hand that justified a reraise postflop (yeah, I probably played the role of calling station to perfection).
A couple of highlights from the night (details not so important). 4 spade board, 180 in the pot, I bet $70 on the river with the A of spades, and KQ of spades is all in on the turn, get one caller who has who knows what. 7 players to the flop for $25. On the river with board showing ATXXX, having been checked around on every street. I bet $40 with pocket nines, original raiser calls and MHIG. I think they call this a thin value bet. Lucky for me, the "sensible" player to my left mucked a pair of aces. A quote from a "winning" player after calling pot sized bets on the flop and turn to hit his gutshot straight draw on a paired board: "Once I have ten bucks in, I cant possibly get away from that hand." The point is, I am not even a good player, and I felt this game was very, very good. And best of all, I got a brand new FM radio simply for showing up at the casino. So, check it out, run hot, report back here your experiences, and ship me half your profits. |
