I played at Caesar's IN for the first time this weekend. They have a pretty nice room. It is no Tunica, but not bad. They now offer 2/4, 4/8, 5/10 (with and without a kill), 10/20, 20/40, 2-5NL ($200 min), and I believe they have some 2-10 Stud, and 3/6 O8 w/ a full kill.
I got on the 4/8 list at around 11PM. There were 6 names b/f me. They only call your name twice and then take you off the list. The announcement can only be heard in the poker room, so you must hang around there. I got my seat in about 5 minutes.
The table was good. The play was pretty bad by most players there. The ones that I love are the people that try to tell everyone else how bad they are playing, but playing even worse themselves (several of those at the table). There were 2-3 guys that would bet down everytime they raised p/f. Several times these guys would showdown KJ or KQ that did not improve. A raise in this game got no respect no matter who it came from. At one point I had not played a hand in 45 minutes. I raised UTG w/ AK and had 7 callers.
I started out great. After playing for 2 hours I was up over $100. Then I just couldn't win a pot. I missed a few flush draws and got beat on the river several times. I left after 5 hours up $20.
I made a few mistakes that costed me $20. One was when a guy rivered a flush on me. I knew he was drawing to it. Then it hit on the river and he checked. Everything told me to check my set, but I couldn't. I bet and he raised. I paid him off.
The other hand I had KK in LP. After 3 limpers I raise and BB and limpers stay. Flop is Axx. No flush draws. EP bets and gets 2 callers. I should have mucked here, but decided to call and see what happened on the turn. Another blank on the turn and I fold. Should have just folded on the flop.
It was a good trip and I plan on going back soon. They will be expanding their poker room soon to 33 tables. Several dealers said they are going to start running a lot of tournaments and have a $10,000 buy in event as well.
