Anyone here ever play in Vicksburg

I said it was a stagnant pool, but calling Horizon's Poker room a rat hole and crap hole is a little harsh. I can see why you guys would say that, finding the atmosphere lacking in elegance and the selection of games being so poor. As it is the only game in town, I've tried to support it, but they could do so much more.

Vicksburg used to have a lot more Poker action before management botched things up by closing the rooms at the Isle and Ameristar just in time to miss out on the WPT fueled Poker boom. I think there are also a lot of players that are interested in trying NL but are scared off by stacks at the smallest game available in the market, 2/5 NL. If they could try it at 1/2 (or 1/3) then I think we'd gradually see a whole new crop of NL players emerge.

Supposedly, there are some new Poker rooms coming with the building of one or two casinos in the area, so maybe you Louisiana guys will have something worth coming back for soon.

I think it will be sooner rather than later.

I called the Horizon's Casino a month or so ago and they said that they are spreading $1/2NL pretty often now.

Have you been to the HS-BC? I'll drive the extra 20min to go over there any day vs Horizons. IMO, HS-BC is one of the nicest/best cardrooms in the Southeast.

Have you been to Marksville, LA? If so, what's that $2/5 game like? I met the PR manager at a charity event but haven't been down there yet to check it out.

I haven't played in any LA cardrooms so far, just MS. Horseshoe sounds like a nice one- I'll try and check it out. You mention to avoid Horizon you have to drive an extra 20 minutes to the next closest cardroom - funny thing that's what central MS players have to do too, but in a different direction- North East to Pearl River's Golden Moon.
