Re: central city/blackhawk
I lived in Boulder and played there a lot last summer. The advice you have been given is correct. For $2-5spread try to see cheap flops with pairs and suited connectors. When you hit your set/2pair NEVER SLOW PLAY (and hardly ever check raise)! Its tougher to get the correct pot odds to draw post flop because of the $5 flop bet. I limited my preflop $5 raise/re-raise to AA&KK only unless I was at the rare tight table. Obviously this makes you predictable but how many total times do you get AA/KK in a session. I almost aproached it as a NL game, limp limp limp limp, hit the flop hard and pounce.
BTW, the new poker room at the Gilpin in Blackhawk spreads $2/4 and is a nice non-smoking room. Besides that I like MtnHigh, very good dealers.
good luck
