Yes. Pot in Milwaukee has all the low limit that you want. 2-4, 3-6, sometimes 4-8 and 5-10. A couple of weeks ago, they were also running a 6-12, but that is the highest limit I have seen there in ages.

Majestic Star has 3-6 and sometimes will get a table or two of 5-10 going, but no limit games higher than that. They will be spreading lots of low buy in NL ($100 max 1-2 blinds and $300 max ...I am not sure of the blind structure, but I think it is 3-5.)

Resorts will have plenty of 5-10, 10-20 and some 20-40 tables going most of the time (at least on Friday nights and weekends.) That is why in responding to OP that I only mentioned Resorts.

Agree with Resorts East Chicago Indiana suggestions for limit action. Wild 10/20 & 20/40 & sometimes higher limit games. Good 5/10 NL. Majestic Star Gary Indiana used to get a good 10/20 going, but, havent seen any of that there for months. Mostly NL & great room (21 tables).

Hate to suggest Hollywood Aurora IL for 10/20 & occassional 20/40. Long wait lists but 10/20 action is profitable. 20/40 typical rock garden hard to make much money.

Thanks to the IL Gov Blago & Gaming COmmish - zippo nada Hold Em for other IL casinos.

Blue Chip in Mich City IN a little farther East just opend a room - but have not played there yet. Played the Pot in Milwaukee several times before expansion - OK NL & OK 10/20 lim.

My all in vote would be for Resorts if you want limit.

The one time I was at Majestic (old trump) had lot's of limit more then 1/2 the tables, and the nl was 2/5 $200 buy in.

Wish hollywood had nl as it's 15 minutes from my house. I might pick up limit.

I've been to all 3 of the main ones mentioned in this thread in the last month. Majestic Star (fmr. Trump has 1-2NL 100 max and 2-5NL 300 max now, in addition to limit games from 3-6 up to occasionally 10-20, although I don't play limit when I go there. Resorts East Chicago's limit games start at 5-10 and go up from there; they usually have 10-20, 20-40, and sometimes higher. Main NL game there is 5-10. Potawatomi in Milwaukee is good for lower limits -- they have 2-4, 3-6, and 5-10 limit, and are trying to get 10-20 going regularly. NL is 2-5 600 max.

Hope this helps!
