Re: Poker in New Orleans
A few random thoughts:
The "regulars" at Harrah's are usually just as bad as the tourists. Just because you see them on more than one day, do not assume any kind of poker-playing ability on their part. These are gambling folk- 94 sooted looks just as good to them as it does to your average just-stumbled-in-from-Bourbon donk.
While I haven't actually gotten around to playing the 2/5 NL game yet, I've been told it's no less of a donkathon than the other games. I don't much care for the blind structure relative to the buy-in, but I still can't wait to go play that game. The big NL game is now 5/10 blinds, used to be 5/5.
Aces cracked wins a rack day is Tuesday. Mondays during football season they run a free contest during MNF, you get assigned a number that relates to the scoring somehow (I forget exactly). Football+beer+poker+free EV=good times.
