Gee, more great news! My eventual interest will be in NL HE tournaments, but as a poker beginner I need to learn limit HE as an introduction to Hold'em, then NL HE (which is all I play, as stated above), and only then can I go to NL HE tournaments. But that there are mini NL HE tournaments is positively wonderful! By the time I get to Las Vegas I'll have worked with HoH (Harrington on Hold'em), and maybe even one of the other 3 Harrington/Robertie books Robertie states as being planned (first will come out on 2+2 within 2 weeks!). Hence I'll be playing tournaments by then. Just as I'm now playing 1/2 cents NL HE ring games, when I start on tournaments it'll be at the Golden Palace 10 cents + 1 cents entry fee single-table NL HE tournaments. Why pay big bucks to learn? I spend my money on books at this juncture.

So you are the bearer of even more good news about Downtown Las Vegas poker, and Thank You! It would seem Downtown continues with it's reputation of attempting to find a way of competing with the Strip.

By the way, I agree about Downtown craps being crappy! That's the case everywhere in the world, as these fellows have figured out how to cheat at poker with impunity. That's another matter...
