Cliff Notes:

Made a bad read in a 1/3NL cash game vs. a maniac and lost a big pot.

Ran good and cashed in a Tournament at Sams Town.

Blocked by corporate but where did you play 1-3 The Grand? What did the maniac look like?

congrats on tourney

I played 1/3 at the Shoe. The maniac was an elder gentleman who wore sunglasses.

He was a small skinny man w/ sunglasses. His wife was quite the Amazon though. She was soo tall!!

I double through that guy.

Glad ya'll enjoyed yourselves at our little corner of the world. Tunica offers a good value for those looking for a few days of poker/gambling especially if you're on a budget.

I usually try to make it to Tunica atleast twice a year. I usually go in Jan around the WPT and I try to go during the WSOP Circuit Event, but this year I had to come earlier due to personal reasons.

I love Tunica.

You stayed at the Strike and paid $50/night on the poker rate? When did they decide to up the price by ~50%?

BJJIII · #8 07-26-2007, 01:40 PM

I am pretty sure that both the Grand and the Strike have went up on their prices.

Its $40 a night at the Grand on the weekends, but I would rather stay at the Strike, so that I can walk back and forth from the Strike to the Shoe.

Still $50/night isnt really that bad, but I did like the cheaper rooms back in the day.

Anybody know if Sam's Town has a poker rate?

Landlord,
I've only played there once...but i'm going down tonight and staying in another casino, but we're thinking about playing over at Sam's Town. I will be sure to ask for you and let you know tomorrow.
