Trump has 3-6, 5-10, 10-20 and up... and a NLHE game?


[/ QUOTE ]

This is correct, for Hold'em. I'm not sure if they're getting a 20/40 off the ground lately or not. The 3/6 and 5/10 have full kills and the 10/20 is usually played with a half-kill.

If somebody could tell me what the buy-in and the rake are for the NL game. also the rake for the 3-6 and 5-10.

The NL minimum buyin is $200, no max with 5/5 blinds. The NL game charges $7/half hour - no rake. I assume the rakes for the 3/6 and 5/10 are 10% to $5 plus $1 jackpot, but I don't remember exactly. The 10/20 rakes 5% to $5, I believe.

and how long should I expect to wait for a seat in a 3-6 and a 5-10? on a saturday night? on a sunday night? on a monday afternoon? on a monday evening? is there call ahead for the board?

You should call ahead; you get 1 hour to arrive. The 3/6 list on a weekend evening is very, very long. The 5/10 will be shorter, but there will probably be fewer games going. Call ahead, you won't regret it.

also, how do I get there?

Depends. If you're driving from Chicago, take the Dan Ryan to the Skyway. Once on the Indiana Tollway, get off at the Cline exit and follow the signs to the Gary Boats. You can check their website for details. There is also a shuttle leaving from Chinatown.

I'm thinking of checking it out, finally. I haven't played casino poker in about 20 months (not counting a time unexpectedly stumbled upon my friend in a 2-4 game I had no intention of playing, but had $40 shoved in my hand to sit with for a while. $40 ain't much in a 2-4 game, and no luck for me I was out in about an hour) and I've been dying to check out the 'new' Trump room.

Good luck. It's a nice room.
