Card Rooms in Lake Charles, Louisiana?

[Salmon]

Has anyone been to any of the card rooms in the casinos at Lake Charles, Louisiana? Could some kind soul give me a breakdown of the games (and limits) that are regularly spread?

There is only the Isle of Capri in Lake Charles at the moment. The generally have two games going, $3/$6/$12 Limit and $5/$5 NL limit game. Everyone once in a while on Saturday they may scrape up a $10/$20 1/2 Omaha PL and NL holdem game $500 min and no max buyin.

These $5/$5 NL games are good and juice. I love the action there. $300 max buy or 1/2 the biggest stack on the table. You'll see a range of stacks from $100 to $3,000 at table. Loose action people will gamble with you there.

Now, there is another poker room in Kinder, LA, Coushatta Casino and Resort. This casino is about 35 minutes east and north of Lake Charles. They have a pokerroom there too. Same games except the NL game is $2/$5 buyins are identical. The play at this casino is a little more tame. Some regulars here, but a few tourist too. Both offer bad beat jackpots. Aces full of tens beaten by four of a kind of better and both cards in both players hands must play.

Good games, if you half way decent at NL poker those games should be good and juicy for you. You don't see $10/$20 or $20/$40 limit games at either of these casinos anymore.
