Which would be the better place to play limit hold em (3/6)?

Harrahs East Chicago or Trump Casino?

It will be my first trip to play at a B&M, heading there next tuesday afternoon. Any advice or anything I should know about either of these casinos? Do I need to call ahead (will get there around 11 am) ect........

sorry that this is kinda a repost - my last topic title was way off. (I said bluechip, which doesnt have a pokerroom)

Only Trump has 3/6 (and only on weekdays) n/m

thanks for the info. since i usually only play .5/1 and 1/2 online, i am going to keep my first B&M experience as low as possible. Is Harrahs lowest 5/10?
thanks

yes.

Trump:
3/6 (full kill), (changes to 4/8 on Sat/Sun)
6/12 (full kill),
10/20 (half kill)
NL 2/5 200-max,
NL 5/10 400-min

Harrah's:
5/10 (no kill)
10/20,
20/40,
30/60(?)
NL(?)

Both rooms have some stud games also. Harrah's has a PL Omaha game running at most times.

what is the difference between full and half kill?

full kill is when the blinds double (and bets) after someone wins two straight hands and they are required to post the big blind - correct?

not sure what the half kill is?

Re: Only Trump has 3/6 (and only on weekdays) n/m
 

In a full kill the blinds stay the same, but the lucky person who won the previous two pots posts an amount equal to double the big blind. e.g. $6 in a $3-$6 game. It is now $6 to call and plays $6-$12.

A half kill would be a $4-$8 game going to $6-$12 when a full kill would be to $8-$16.

the PLO at harrah's doesnt run that much. In theory tuesday night, but sometimes it doesn't get going.

just an FYI, the Trump is a floating dump. I'm not commenting on the games, since I don't go up there regularly, but that place is the dirtiest casino I have ever set foot in. It has all the charm of playing craps in a grease soaked alley. The chips there are so filthy that they will literally stick to each other.
Harrahs is a far nicer place to be.
Obviously you'll go where the games are best, but I thought I'd prepare you for the fine accomadations that await at the trump.

Weirdly, I went to Trump last weekend and they were spreading 3/6 w/kill rather than the 4/8. Very confusing since I asked for the 4/8 initially and felt like a moron when told they didn't have 4/8.

So, 3/6 it is. For now.

I disagree (partly).

The poker room is very nice, non-crowded, etc etc.

The chips are filthy.
