Default Indiana sucks--- harrah\'s/caesars

only no limit games they run are 1/2 NL $300 max and 2/5 $1k max.

They have all these damn limit games running all the time so the wait is 1-2 hours every time.

Poker is new to the region and old people are slow learners because of the small amounts of hands live play allows, i mean i seen as many hands in a months as some guys do in a year live.

Anyway to offer a different game structure? wait is 1-2 hours every time

Sure: ban no-limit and switch completely to limit. Limit games move faster than no-limit games.

I can't tell if this is serious but poker is not new to indiana. Maybe new to you who learned poker on ESPN but the Limit games in Indiana are the best in the midwest and up there with Foxwoods. Before ESPN poker you could rarely find NL games outside of Vegas but you could always get a 30/60 HOSE game in NWI or Southern Ind. Its a real simple solution, call ahead seating.

NWI has amazing quality of play for the limits....

The 2-5 NLH game in NWI is better than 5-10 at the Wynn in quality of play...

True Story...sucks for me since I used to take like 800 bucks out of that game in 2003-4-5...

As for the limit games I know Resorts East Chicago has a quality 20/40 runnning round the clock and some huge NLH at time plus the 5-10 NLH always is running and actually pretty decent depending on the lineup.

I havent played live here for like 6 months though.

30-60 hose never runs now. I dont know if it ever did but I have been going for 3 years(not that long I know) but i have never seen it.

I have played over there a million times, and work there now and the waits are never 1-2 hours. I dont know if you went at a bad time or what, but the waits are usually never that bad.

What nl did you want to play?

They also dont have that many limit games running. It's mostly all 1-2 nl. There is usually one 4-8 game, 2 to 3 2-4-4-8 games, one 10-20 on weekends, then 10 1-2 nl games, and one 2-5 that usually gets a must move later on in the day on weekends.

On saturdays usually 3 2-5 games are running.

Also on Wen, and Fri they have 10-25 plo running

Weekends usually has 1-2 30-60 stud games.

On monday 2/5 plo uncapped was running.

I've been playing at Caesars Indiana almost 4 yrs and the 1/2 no limit game is 1 of the most popular games now, but there are usually only 2 to 4 tables running on weekdays 2-9 pm.

If they had a $200, 500, and 1k buy-in game it would help players improve as the stakes increase.

As it stands now there are only 2 no limit games, 300 max 1/2 and 1k max 2/5 , which funnels all the beginners into the 300 max game.

My point is that there could be more no limit games there, since it is the only place to play for a lot of people.

I don't know about adding more no-limit games, but I do know that I've never waited an hour for a 1/2 no-limit game. Even at 8:00 on a Friday night during the summer, the wait was about a half hour.

They seem to have plenty of table of 1/2 no limit going on the weekends.

I'm not usually there during the week, so I don't know what it's like.

Just be happy that you have casino gambling in your state!!!

This post is wrong on so many levels I am not even going to try. They will spread any game that will fill a table. If you want something different, start a list.

The $2-5 NL was previously uncapped and died. They recently capped the buyin at $1,000 and the game is beginning to make a come back.

If you think the poker at Caesar's IN sucks, you need to get out more and see what the rest of the country has available.

we had a whole 10/20 table that wanted to switch to 20/40 once and the floor wouldnt let us. We all quit the game and put our names on a interest list and the floor (the hot one) waited an hour to call it off and by that time most everyone just left pissed off. (there was tables avaliable)

On the way out the floor had the audacity to tell me that getting everyone to quit the 10/20 game was the worst decision we could of made. I tried to explain to here that costing them rake was our only recourse and the room had their priorities wrong if they thought it hurt us more than them.


2 nights later a different floor let us change our 5/10NL game to 10/20NL game when the table requested it.


Ive played in LA LV AC Ceasers IN and some San Diego casino I dont remember, and IN has the worst run room Ive ever ran across (not saying there isnt worse_)

Hoping to continue this conversation a little bit. What kind of experiences have people had with some of the smaller poker rooms in Southern Indiana? Argosy and Belterra have poker rooms; how are their games?
