Official HO CHUNK is back thread

thedorf · #1 01-19-2007, 02:32 AM

Played 5/10 there last night. Only other tables going were 2 2/4 tables. It had only been open 4 days by this point. My dad was there today and says there were 7 people on the 10/20 list. I'd love to see this game come back to the chunk. I don't know anything else for sure but lots of rumors about all kinds of stuff.

I plan on going Saturday night after work ... I'm a little nervous, as I've heard horror stories about the $5 time charge per half hour, and the pathetic dealers.

Still, I'll check it out. It would be great if they could get some 1/2 NL going there ...

Don't worry about the $10 hour table charge. It's not all the worse than a 10% $4 max rake. The dealers are a little bit slower than average (a disadvantage to the table charge). I went on Sunday and Tuesday this week. Tuesday's dealers were considerably better.

They're not running a kill pot in the limit games any more.

There will be NL and tourney's after management and the dealers have some practice.

The floor various floor staff were contradicting each other on some rulings. So there are definitely some things that need to be ironed out before they go full force with the poker.

How were the games, either of you guys win?

I'm heading there today to play $5/10

As I understand it, the time charge is down to $4 per half hour and only on Fridays and Saturdays. It will also be removed when they get more $1 chips. Rumor has it there's a chance of a 1/2 NL game this weekend.

I'm a lowly 2/4 player and when I sat on Tuesday the game was very sweet.

dealers are bad. don't know about the time charge. I went on a wed. and there wasn't one.

My game was insanely good. one of the best i've played in. Of course, i've been four tabling online for the last year and a half so just about any live game is good but I've also played lots of live games and this one was great. except for maybe one or two people that came through the games there was nobody who folded an ace or two suited preflop. I played 8 hours. Lost 85 bucks. By the way, I think telling 2p2ers where the good action is is a stupid thing to do generally because they're usually good players but it would be nice to see this room fill up a little more and i think any business at this point will help.

Just spoke with the poker room manager ... no 1/2 NL this weekend. They still are waiting until March.
