How is New Orleans poker?

parisron · #1 10-07-2007, 06:01 PM

Im going on a trip Tues. thru Thurs. and staying next to Harrahs in New Orleans, I only play poker and only No Limit Holdem. Is Harrahs the only action within walking distance? is Harrahs any good? do they have 1/2nl and 2/5 nl? any comments would be appreciated.

Do they do time rake? if so is there others in New Orleans that dont do time rake?

I think Boomtown is raked, but it's a boat and much smaller. I've never played there.

I would skip Harrah's and just play with the locals down in the lower 9th ward. There is no other better place for a poker game then a FEMA trailer.

I agree its better to play at the FEMA trailer if u dont mind the smell of decaying corpes, they also use human teeth as chips.

Wasn't meant to be a joke. What the joke is that 2 years later, casinos were rebuilt/repaired and are operating, but little to no progress on personal homes. I guess people have money to gamble when they don't have a house or a mortgage.

take a chill pill bro, like mrAtlantico said, its been more than 2 yrs now so its ok to make a joke or too, I understand the gravity of the situation but we have to move on, I wish those Extreme Makeover TV on ABC will visit this area and build homes for this folks, I will volunteer to give everybody a lap dance if that would help.

Harrah's is the only casino within walking distance to you and has good action on weekends. I can't really speak to the action during the week. Time charge for all NL games is $6/half hour. Limit games are raked. I have never been there when they didn't have 1/2 and 2/5 NLHE spread. Game quality at Harrah's is good. If your question is whether Harrah's is a well run room, I'd strongly recommend that you protect your hand at all times. Don't necessarily expect floor rulings to be correct.
