Lake Elsinore - Any decent size limit or NL lately?

Rick Nebiolo · #1 10-19-2006, 04:39 PM

Friend wants to go on a field trip tomorrow (Friday) to Lake Elsinore. He mostly plays 15/30 to 40/80 limit but will play NL while waiting for a limit game. When we were at Aqua Caliente a few weeks ago we heard they have a decent size limit game at Lake Elsinore (20/40 or 25/50) but the source didn't seem to be reliable. If I tag along I'll either play the 8/16 to 20/40 limit or NL with a $5 or $10 BB.

What's the chance we will find these sorts of games? We hope to arrive at Elsinore around 2:30 pm and can stay till midnight. We may kill the afternoon catching the new Eastwood flick.

Keep in mind this isn't a tournament weekend for Lake Elsinore.

All help appreciated.

PS Pechanga isn't a good backup. Friend has been there three times and he thinks the games (20/40) are nitty compared to LA.

...usually I hate to call because I fear I won't get a straight answer but the floor said they have two 20/40 limits and a 100-500 $5 blind NL. Sounds good.

On the weekend the generally do get a 20/50 and a 5/5 100-500 NL game going. Don't know if it would be going before evening though.

I poked my head in there tonight on my way home from SD, I was surprized to see about 10-20 games going, didnt get too close to see what they were, I did see some green chip action near the front rail(6-12 I think), with as many games that were going on there I wouldnt be surprized to see a couple of NL's in there. I was more shocked to see in the restroom they had auto-flushers, auto-soap despenser, auto-towel dispenser, they blew it all on the restrooms?

Nothing that big at Elsinore that I've ever seen.

It's a nice little casino full of retireees.

I made the call above (where the floor told me two 20/40s were going) around 6:00pm on Thursday. It will be interesting to see what they have going tomorrow (Friday).

Last night was double jackpot, so it was very busy. The jackpot is up to 35K, so the double brought everyone out.

There is almost always a 20/40 and a 100-500 NL with 5 & 5 blinds. Some nights there will be 2 games of each of these. If it is really humming, they will also have a PLO game going, which is the best game in the house. The 8-16 has been going lately, but is usually not in the lineup. Always good when it goes.

There has never been a 20/50 game that one of the posters alluded to.

Rick, tell them you also want to start a list for a $500-$1000 NL game (5-10 blinds)...they almost got it going last night.

***Although it's probably too late for you to see any of this...If you need any other info PM me.***

We went early today. Both of us played small and had lunch, then went to the movies behind the casino (The Prestige, my friend's choice, I give it three stars out of five). The 20/40 started around 3:30pm, I played a while then started the 5-5 blind NL. Was feeling sort of goofy/dizzy and was way up in a tight game so went to a second movie (Flags of Our Fathers - I give it four stars) while my friend played on. After the movie I chopped again in the 5-5 NL, doubling through an LA player I've played lots of 20/40 stud/8 against.

You seem to be right on regarding games. I may try to make it out for an overnighter on a Thursday. My friend can't play late and it really isn't that far.

In general the day games are quite a bit tighter than the equivalent LA games, at the same time you just don't get many moves put on you so its a good place to play if you like it tight and predictable. My guess is that later at night it opens up.

PS I also liked the fact that I was one of the younger players [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

PPS I noticed they have some $100 no rebuy tournaments with only $10 juice. That's the way it used to be everywhere.
