Cash games at Mille Lacs?
Was just searching the forums to see if I could find any info on cash games at Grand Casino Mille Lacs and didn't have much luck.
I am going to be there all next week for the HPT tourney and was wondering what kinds of cash hold 'em games they run there? Has anyone played there recently? |

Re: Cash games at Mille Lacs?
They were spreading 2/4, 3/6 kill and regular, 4/8 no kill, 2-10 & 2-20 spread (with and without a kill) last weekend.
Of the two floor people that I dealt with, Scott tries his best but the other guy was a joke. The dealers are fair to horrendous. Lots of locals, clueless tourists with family pots and suckouts. There's some talent there too. Tall skinny guy with a mustache & goatee (blond wife plays too). A couple of fresh faced college guys on the spread limit games had their act together. There's a local cowboy (complete with the white hat), I think I heard his name was Steve, that loves to bluff. Keep an eye on how he bets and you'll figure him out. I give the room about a C. |

Re: Cash games at Mille Lacs?
I will be up there a week from Sat as well to play some satellites for the HPT qualifiers and play some cash games.
This is one of the MN Casinos with poker that I haven't played yet so I'm excited to check it out. I'm sure there will be a ton of cash games with HPT in town but most of the bigger ones will probably be spread limit such as 2/10, 4/20 and 5/30 like GC Hinckley. To anyone who has played the HPT single table satellites; What is the structure of these like? Do you start with decent chips and have decent time at each level or does it become a crapshoot real quick? How many from each single table sat (1,2,3) make it into a qualifier? Thanks and Good Luck! |

Oh, joy! But I guess it's good to hear they are having the tourney in another room.
How are MN cash games in general? Better closer to the Twin Cities? |

Re: Cash games at Mille Lacs?
I have not been up there for a year, but it was second rate at best when I was there. The games played more like a kitchen table game.
One session the dealer was upset with me because I was beating the table. Cards thrown around, pots flung, generally misreading hands, so on, and so forth. Up in Cloquet, or down in Minneapolis the games are much better. |

Just remember, there is no no limit. Its all spread/fixed limit.

Re: Cash games at Mille Lacs?
I just saw on the web site that the limits go up to $60, so much better than $5/$5 Colorado.
Does anyone know what the $4/$8 or $5/10 games are like at Mille Lacs, or anywhere in MN? |

[/ QUOTE ] Yup, the higest game spread in MN is 30-60 limit or 5-60 spread. I've never seen a 5-10 game spread in MN. As for 4-8, I've never played at Mille Lacs, but I have played it extensivly at Canterbury Park in Shakopee. 4-8 there is usually very loose and profitable, if you know good limit strategy/have read SSHE you should be able to crush the games. I'm guessing that the limit games at Mille Lacs will be very profitable, as the HPT will bring up lots of NL players without a very good limit game. GL at the HPT. P.S. your gonna have to get by me.
