Two interesting notes for Seattle/WA area players

From talking to a friend, they sell out 7 tables quite early now.

I haven't played in a tournament there yet, but I heard they even got close to 100 people for their Thursday NL tourney, and I'm trying to figure out how they do this with only 5 tables.

I think they have something against red chips there.

The state of Washington limits who can have "High limit" tables. So if your going to have a table with larger than a $25 bet you have to have special permission. (I believe it's $25) To the best of my knowledge only Indian Casinos can get this "permission".

Interesting. And Hawks Prairie isn't an Indian casino, making the $50/$100 claim even more questionable.

Anything is possible, I know that the smaller Casinos have been begging for higher limit play for some time. They also want slots, but you see what happened there. The Tribes are going to defend their turf.

50 play till they have 5
50 play till they have 5
10 person final table.

This is just a guess.

Max bet at Lils is $25; hence 12-24 HE.

From talking to the same friend, they play the tournies in a different room that has 10 tables.

Wanted to bump this, because I'm coming home for the holidays. Nolanfan...did you ever determine the status of the Hawks Prairie game? I called there yesterday, and they said that they hadn't had a 6-12 game in the past three weeks, much less a 50-100 game. I called Little Creek, and they said that they have a list going for no limit, but that it doesn't always go.

If anyone has any details on these south sound games, I would appreciate it, because I'd rather not drive all the way up to the shoot.

Thanks,

Matt

I haven't been to Hawks Prairie still. Sorry. We're heading out of town today, otherwise I'd try to check it out for you.

I do know that Little Creek has good tournaments at 7:00 most nights of the week, so maybe that's worth checking out. I don't know that they spread higher than 4-8 though.

when the hell did Hawks Prairie get a casino that didn't consists of pull tabs? I usually stop there on the way down to Portland, wtf, now they have Poker? weird.....
