Action in Tunica

[AcesKracked]

I have heard the action in Tunica has really slowed down lately. It is about time for our annual pilgramage to toon town and I am wondering if we need to look at a different location this year. We usually stay at the Goldstrike but end up playing mostly at the Shoe.

Has the Horseshoe expanded again in the last 6 months? I thought I read something about another expansion online.

thanks for any help!

I havn't noticed any slowing down. I had two 10-20's, 1 20-40, 2-5NL, a few 4-8's, and a stud today around mid-day. On the weekends we're slammed.

Chipr - Is the action gradually going back to limit in your opinion?
Seems you used to have more NL tables going.
But now getting 2 different 10/20 limit games with only one 2/5 NL seems a change from a few months ago.

How much does it cost to stay in Tunica? Are there any hotels around the casinos that are cheaper? I've been playing in Philadelphia, but they don't seem to want to spread anything higher than 3/6 or the occassional 4/8. I'd like to get to town to play some 10/20.

Call ahead and get your room booked through the poker room and you save a lot of money. The Shoe will feed you good if you play poker.

You can call the poker-room at Gold Strike or Horseshoe and try to get the poker-room rate.

From Mon-Thu I think it's $30/night if you play 5 hours or more a day.
And not much more on the weekend.

The price of the room without the poker-room rate can vary wildly depending on which day.

One weekend the Horseshoe might be quoting $280/night or more for some weird reason....but during the week you might be able to get $30 somewhere.

If you are just looking to stay for cheap and don't care about the accomodations AND if you can't get in on the poker-room rate at Horseshoe or Gold Strike (or Grand) then you can consider staying at a cheapo place like Bally's or Fitzgerald's.
They don't have poker. But they do have cheap rooms that are easy driving distance from the other casinos.

There are a couple of other non-casino hotels in the area. But I don't see any advantage to staying there.

There are 9 casinos in Tunica all with hotels at various price-ranges.

The latest promotion at the gold strike is play 5 hours of 10-20 and the night is free... Tought to get the game going, also saw a 25-50 NL game going at the strike last weekend. (3/1/07) and a pretty deep 2-5 game about 1.5k-2k per person at the table. the poker room rates are pretty cheap but they have limited space available and you MUST book via the poker room to get it.

This is a big game that is usually 25-25 w/ 50 on the button PLO. They do play some 50-300 spread Triple Draw. Has been going very regularly lately. Not very much NLH though.

I play in that 10/20 game at the Goldstrike pretty regularly & it usually is very soft. The majority of the people who play in it are not able to read players or read hands, nor do they have good hand selection. Any ol' Q7 sooooted from any position for any number of raises is a playable hand. If they happen to catch a piece of the flop, then they will stay with you till the river regardless of what comes on the board.

My only problem is that I seem to go completely card dead when I play in this damn game...[img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
