Re: Poker in New Orleans
Was in town for business and spent about 90 minutes playing 3/6 at Harrah's. A few observations:
1. Everyone besides me and 1 other player were older (late 50's or 60's) locals - I think they were retirees that spent a part of their day playing poker.
2. Just about every hand had 6 or 7 people seeing the flop.
3. They had a promotion where if you lost with Pocket Aces, you win a rack - a guy at my table won. Pretty nice.
4. Was there around noon and there were about 5 HE games going on. By the time I left, there were probably 8 or 9 going on.
5. The dealers were very efficient. I've only played at one other casino - in LV and they were slow. These guys moved quite swiftly - almost like they had been told to keep the games moving.
6. I play at Party online - I have about 30k hands in and I have never seen a table as loose as this one.
Not sure if it's always like this, but certainly worth a visit if in the area.
