Solution: sit on the non-smoking side of the room. Even on the smoking side, though, it's probably much less smokey than any other room in town. Check out Mountain High.

By the way, how'd you do yesterday? What/where did you play?

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
 

First, we definitely need to get a Colorado 2+2 home game going!!! I'm also in Littleton and hate the damn $2-$5 spread limit games up in the mountains.

Best place I think is Mountain High. I've done the best there and at the Fortune Valley (use to be Harvey's) in Central City.

The Lodge just plain sucks, too many crazies with tons of money to throw around. Can't tell you how many time my AK has been cracked after flopping top two to runner runner trips. I don't think they call it Holdem' up there, I think it's more accurately called "River."

As for win rates, I buy in for $150 at the $2/$5 game (which seems a little high, most people buy in for $100). Walking away with anything over $100 has to be considered a win up there. What do you think?

That sucks the smoke gets to you guys. I'll be f'd if I ever quit I guess.

Nearly every game (2-5) I get into up there is soft as hell. I don't understand why people complain.

I avoid the lodge like the plague, although the 2-5 action is still soft. Gilpin is nice but the action is dry. CCS is the shiznat... mega action and the best tournament structure in town. Mountain high is pretty good but the games seem able to be tougher (small sample size). FV used to be a bunch of rocks nut-peddling, I don't go there now. I haven't been to the golden gates' room yet.

I agree with pretty much everything. I play at CCS every Saturday night and there are always plenty of action.

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
 

I've played at CCS and the Gilpin. I made more $ at CCS but I like the Gilpin's room. Haven't tried FV or MH but I heard (maybe wrongly) that MH's games are like the Lodge. I also heard that if you have a player's card (like the slot club) they pay you $1 an hour.

I have a friend who's a floor at the Lodge. He doesn't understand why I don't like playing "the lottery", as I call their games.

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
 

What amount of money do you all buy in for up in Blackhawk...assume you're playing the 2-5 games.

What is your average winrate? Not in terms of big blinds per hour, but in terms of total earnings per session? I'm doing well I think if I take home $100 after a four hour session.

Re: Anyone play at blackhawk?
 

I usually buy a rack of white and a stack of red for show, so that's $200. Usually I'll cash out around $300-350 after 5 hours.

What exactly are you showing? The only thing that shows is when I have a stack of red at the end of the night, I know where it came from.
