On a business trip, decided to leave the online games for a night and make a trip to Isle of Capri in Bettendorf, Iowa, part of the Quad Cities.
Monday night, they were able to spread two 3/6 games with a full kill. The dealers were friendly, though there were some mistakes -- including one dealer about to split a pot between two players with a King with two cowboys on the board, failing to note that one of managed to make a full house. For the most part, fast and accurate.
The felt on the tables is as worn as the oblique sides of the cards, but the chairs are comfortable.
More important the air is clean up there. You enter the "riverboat" hall and proceed upstairs to the room. It is well separated from the rest of the casino and very quiet.
Play tended to the loose passive side, but there were times where the fluctuations went tight or aggressive.
The rake, however, tops out at $5 and they take a $1 drop for a bad beat jackpot. Yikes.
In three hours, highest pocket pair I saw was 7s, and highest Ace hand I had was ATo. Finished down 8BB.
