watch out for the guy with the funny hat, sun glasses and the ZZ top beard. He's a good player and he lives there.

His name is Doug, and he's probably the only real long term pro who plays there. He's also one of the nicest guys you'll meet there, although quiet.

I haven't been since I moved in April, but the games were very soft, especially between 7pm and 3am. Call ahead if you're looking to play monday or tuesday: the room used to shut down those days, but they were talking about expanding to every day play.

5/10 is spread on most tables, with one, sometimes two, 10/20 games. The highest they spread is 15/30, but that's rare (although I hear it happens more often on Sunday afternoons).

The 5/10 plays at about the level of .5/1 on Party: donktastic. The 10/20, my regular game, can get a bit tight, but it usually only takes one more donk entering as a TAG leaves to make it very profitable. I have played in 10/20 games there that averaged 7 to the flop. 10/20 is a little more aggressive, but often stupidly so, with identifiably bad players raising gutshot draws, and check-raising the nuts forcing the field to call two BB just because check-raising is cool.

One word of warning: the table talk is almost unbearable. There's not much trash talking, but the discussion of odds and outs is non-stop at times.
