Turning Stone this weekend

[Bulldog]

I'm going to Turning Stone for the first time this weekend. I will be there from about 6 PM on Friday until 6 PM on Saturday. Anything special I need to know? My usual place is the Borgata in AC. What are the typical games being spread, what will the waits be like at this time, how many raises are the cap, etc?

I see on their website there is a $55+10 on Saturday morning. Anybody play this before? What's the turnout like?

Games: 1/3 spread, 2/4, 3/6, 5/10, 15/30 (I think), 30/60 (I think). Wait on fridays nite could be an hour, but it depends on what limits you're playing. 3 raise caps, same as AC. Just a word of warning, be prepared to be dissapointed if you're used to the Borg. Turning Stone was my first cardroom, when I saw the Borg I was very retroactively dissapointed in Turning Stone

I played at Turning Stone for the first time a few weeks back. As for the saturday tournament you asked about, the line to register gets HUGE and only about 150 or so people can get in. If you want to secure your place in the tournament, be playing in the card room at around 8:30-9:00. At about 9, they come to the tables first and register people. That way you're sure to get in. What I did was go down at about 7:30 and play until I got registered, left to get breakfast, then came back to the tourney.
The one I played in was a rebuy tournament, but I think they changed the structure now.

No NL cash games? What're the 5/10 and 15/30 games like, compared to the 6/12 and 10/20 at Borgata?

Thanks for the input.

I remember seeing NL cash games. I think they had a $100 buy-in.

I haven't been there in awhile, but on Friday nights, they used to have a bigger NL game. Something like 5-5, or 5-10. *I think*

The only NL cash game I've heard of them spreading is 5-10-20.

I've only played the 1/3 spread and 2/4 there. I havent been there since I first started playing

I have been there twice in the last six months or so. Once was a Friday night about 6 months or so and they had IIRC one of each of 15-30, 10-20 and 30-60.

I played one of the Turning Stone Classic events on a Thursday afternoon earlier this summer and I believe they had two nl cash games spread even though the tournament was taking place upstairs.

One was a 1-2 $100 max I believe and the other was bigger, somewher in the neighborhood of $300 buy in.
