I went to also Friday through Sunday. The dealers do need alot of work. They just need time. Play was from good to bad. Lots of Fish and people who watch too much TV. Sunday the play was much tougher at least at my table. Nice room. only live 10 min from the place. I think the weekends are going to be busy and have lots of action from the fishes

Good. I was about to be pissed that I missed it. I was in WV this weekend, but no farther north than Parkersburg and Clarksburg, and with not a lot of free time.

Being in WV is still a beat... but I do wish they would have had poker when I lived in Pittsburgh.

About the $5 rake- it's a true 10% (assuming your dealer does math correctly). They do not take $3 on the flop like other poker rooms, just 10%. So if the pot is pushed on the flop and it's only $12 in there the rake would be $1.00 as opposed to $3 at other poker rooms.

I saw one or two dealers try to rake a pot that was won pre-flop but this is obviously not correct and they didn't do so when called on it.
I plan on going back on Tues I think and am curious to see if anything has improved.

Tables opened up 10-19-07. Law was passed in June. Full table games in 2 months. Wheeling and Chester are the towns.

Curious - Why do they say Mountaineer is in Chester, WV when there's another small town, Newell, WV between Chester and the track/casino?

I grew up in Ohio right across the river and used to go to the track (years ago).

I'm taking my old man down on Friday for his birthday.

There isn't a NL game higher than 5/10? How is the 5/10 game? Is there an interest list for 10/20?

Thanks.

They got off a 10/20NL game - 7k max buy-in - last night. Haven't heard a report yet on how it went.
