On the board, I believe they had everything up to 30/60 stud h/l listed, but the chances of that game ever going are probably good as my chances of quitting drinking in the next month.

OK, it's not 30/60 stud/8 so I won't hold you to black coffee, but when I signed up for the 3/6 stud interest list last night the woman at the desk said the game went Friday night. Don't think I'd care for the game tho, it has a $1 ante for some reason.

The dealers were quite competent considering how new the room is. The room let's them keep their tips, which should weed out the slow dealers. The midwest rooms that pool dealer tips with the blackjack pit should take note. The floor people were very friendly, welcoming players as if it were a home game.

All 10 tables were going, and as you mentioned, the games are 10 handed. The games, 3 tables of 2/4, 3 tables of 3/6, 2 tables of 4/8, and 2 tables of 2/10 spread limit. The tables are nice, the room decor is pleasant with the obligatory sports on TV, but they only have 1 drink table per table, which was a problem because most players were pounding down beers.

BTW, getting your chips at the signup desk is pretty common for cardrooms that size. Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo,and the Palace Station in Vegas are setup the same way.

How about those players? Saw some pretty awful play, along with guys wearing sunglasses and a couple of unabombers. Too bad the casino is in the middle of nowhere.
