winstar vs. choctaw -dallas poker

I'm going to head up to either winstar or choctaw this weekend, I've never been to choctaw, but the only reports on it were less than great, but they are all from this spring. Friday night there is some country concert at winstar, so I'm afraid the wait will be atrocious by the time I get there. Is the drive to Choctaw worth it, or should I just stick with one of the local clubs?

Choctaw is all 1/2 NL and 3/6 Limit. I have seen a 2/5 NL once or twice.

They cap the rake at $4 though and the action feels a bit softer than Winstar.

There has been a 2/5 NL game there every time I have been there on the weekends.

They put the 2/5 NL game in a seperate glass "high roller" room.

I've been to both only once, so small sample, but the action was much better at Winstar the day I went. At Choctaw, I was at the tightest 1/2 table on the planet.

thanks guys, any other info? I may stay local friday, and head up to winstar saturday when there is no concert. Of course, drunken cowboys might be mighty fun to play against.

I say let's just get an awesome home game going. We already have four here. I have been looking for decent home games since I jettisoned my old stupid, drunk, call-everything-to-the-river-no-matter-what game.

As far as game tightness, I have seen squeaky tight and out of control loose tables at both places. You just have to table-hop sometimes.

Lord...just go online and find a game in Dallas. Save your gasoline.

Just came back from Dallas..well Grapevine where I was attending a tradeshow. It took me 1-hour to get from Grapevine to Winstar. Played from 7:00pm - 7:00am Fri/Sat. 2/5 NL the entire time. They have an overflow room which is cold as fu*k. I sat at 3 different tables because my table broke twice. Games were VERY good. When I left at 7:00am on Sat. there were still three 2/5 NL tables and one 5/10 NL table running.
