Horseshoe Tunica - 20/40 & higher
 

How many 20/40 tables do they have going on a typical weekend day/night? Are they spreading any higher games these days (other than during big tourneys?)

Thx.

Re: Horseshoe Tunica - 20/40 & higher
 

The last time I was there, the only that had 20-40 was Horseshoe (and it was usually just one table). One of the days they had a 30-60 instead (15-30 and 30-60 instead of the usual 10-20/20-40 combo). The action was very good in this game however, and I rock is often used which makes it even better. Horseshoe is a nice place to play, check out the steak house and buffet if u can. Rooms are great too.

Unless things have changed, it's usually 1 20/40 table but 2 tables is not uncommon. That's the highest they regularly spread but the action in that game is incredible.

Weekends? Usually one or two with 20/40 being the highest limit game spread. Pot limit Omaha is the "big game" in that room.

Figure like this. Tunica is in the middle of "no where". You don't have a large population base from which players will just "drop in" to play a little 20/40.

This game is often described as one that's "played like a $4/8" game, action-wise.

My buddy and I were discussing it this weekend, and he said "It's like the players can't help themselves. SOMEBODY is trying to put a play on EVERY single pot!"

If you're planning on going there this weekend be sur eto check on rooms. I have one for this Saturday night. I have a regular room and it is 419.00 a night!! YIKES!!

I made sure I'd be able to get the poker rate of 35 dollars. I'm still a little nervous they'll give me crap about it.

There must be a concert going on or something.

Re: Horseshoe Tunica - 20/40 & higher
 

The answer I got form her was that rates changed on availability. Kinda vague I thought. Either way I'm a bit surprised that I still get it for 35$.

VoodooFest is in Memphis. I'll be in going back and forth this weekend.

As I mentioned in a previous thread...we went down on the spur of the moment on a Monday last week.
Didn't think we would need to call ahead.
The Horseshoe and the Gold Strike hotels were both sold out and we were left kind of scrambling.

No idea what the deal was. The parking lots did not appear especially full and there wasn't a big concert in town or anything.
Really weird for a hotel the size of the Gold Strike to be sold out on a Monday afternoon imo.


DEFINITELY CALL AHEAD!!


(I wouldn't think that the voo-doo fest concert on Sunday would be driving up room-rates THAT much. Are there still a lot of evacuees taking up the rooms?? I really am kind of curious what the hell is going on down there)

Re: Horseshoe Tunica - 20/40 & higher
 

I was there a couple of weekends ago and they had three going a lot of the time. There were some tourneys going on as well though, so that may have skewed things.

I called the Shoe this past weekend, and they're out of rooms at the poker rate on Fri/Sat for the rest of the year. Just a heads-up.

They told me to just book a room at regular reservations and then get my time watched and they'd deliver the poker rate at the end of my stay. Thats what I'm doing this weekend. I've done this at other places like the Bellagio, but its always been a bit more of a hassle than it should be. Has anyone done this at the Horseshoe?

Thusfar, that's been the word, Bob. I got a hotel room about 4 weeks ago, though, for a Friday night. I booked on a Wednesday. I've gotten where I prefer to stay over driving back to Memphis even though it's only 42 minutes.

Raising is required in this game. Be prepared for variance.
