I play up there in spurts. It's come to be too aggravating to play the cash games, so I'm pretty much going to stick to the tournaments up there from here on out. I personally probably won't be up there until a week from Sunday, when I'm scheduled for a casino trip with my grandmother-in-law.

I go up there about every 6 months, and every time I do, I am reminded why I don't go more often:

1. Smoke
2. 5 guys who are all friends capping to $30 preflop if you are in the pot, then all calling down for $5 on every street, so that every time you play a hand, it has to beat 5 others.

It really does get old, although I like to practice live play occasionally, and this is the only place. You'll easily recognize who plays together, and they aren't above saying things to the effect of "Let's raise up the white boy!" - which is exactly what I heard about 5 times the last time I was there. No point calling the floor or complaining...these are the regulars, and the card room won't make it if they give their bread and butter a hard time.

I also don't mean to come off as a bitter loser - overall, the games up there have been very profitable for me, but it is pure gambling....I might as well be playing roulette.

You need to leave The Lodge.

I'll second that.I play in spurts in Blackhawk as well.My favorite for both tourneys and ring games is Colorado Central station.Competent staff and the best comps in the canyon.
One of these days I need to make an effort to meet the CO 2+2ers.I'm sure some of you are familiar faces because sometimes I'm up the canyon a lot.

CCS is a pretty good room and I like the dealers there, but it's so f'ing smoky I can't stand it. I'm a fan of The Gilpin myself, followed by Mountain High and then CCS. To your last point, we should get a home game some time. I'm in Littleton too, by the way.

You are absolutely right on this...I didn't mention the name of the casino, as I don't feel that I go up there enough to be giving a bad review.

I definitely need to give one of the other rooms a shot...next time, I promise.

The Lodge deserves every bad review it can get.

I ususally play theGalpin when I am there. Nice room. Just dont like the smoke. I played the lodge once. Got a bad vibe from the place.
