Southern IN poker rooms

sem25 · #1 07-19-2007, 04:47 PM

I just moved out to Huntington, WV and looking for a place to play poker. It looks like the Southern Indiana casinos might be my best bet (about a 3.5 hr drive). I'm looking to play some middle limit HE (10/20 - 20/40), or some mixed games if possible. Are the casinos out there worth going to? If so, which one(s)? Thanks.

the 10-20 only goes at Caesar's IN on the weekends and they rarely have $20-40. You need to go to the Horseshoe in Tunica.

The Argosy (outside Cincinnati) gets their 10-20 going on weekends as well, and it usually runs with a kill.

Is Argosy 24-hrs? Thinking about driving there after work if it is, if not, I'll wait until Saturday.

Yes it is

Isn't there a racino in WVa with poker tables? Mountaineer? Or did that fall through or I have my facts totally wrong?

They just passed the law last month so they won't be actually running the games until the Fall because they have to find/train dealers.

They play pretty big games in huntington. I dont know that much about it but I live in ashland and used to hear about them. Prolly not limit though. Grayson, Ky also has big games.

I think it's only up in Wheeling though (which is also 3 hrs away from Huntington, I think). I think they vote in the county where Charleston is next month for table games. Hopefully, they pass it.

I just came back from Argosy. Kinda disappointed that the highest game they had was 5/10 (w/full kill). I wasn't used to the kill game they have there (if the hand is a kill pot, preflop the person to the left of the kill button goes first, not the person UTG, post-flop plays normally). I was talking to some of the locals at the table who said that the 10/20 game hasn't gone for at least a month now. I'm going back tomm morning and will try and start an interest list for 10/20. I doubt it'll run though considering that 15 of the 19 or so tables they have are all 1-3 NLHE.
