I was there a few weekends ago. it's more relaxed, but all the games are spread. interestingly, when I was there, there was a couple I think was trying to distract the cameras. I might post about it later. there was a big game going on from like 9 or 10 pm to 3 am on friday and saturday. dont know about the weekdays.

Hey fellas, I got to TS yesterday at around 8pm and played in a 3/6 game, which was remarkably soft. I didn't run into anyone but saw a Jerry Springer look-a-like waiting at the game desk. The resemblance was uncanny. Five hours later I left the game +20bb to ask for a room at the Inn at the poker rate ($60) and got this response: "There's no poker rate this week. Everything is booked solid." So I went home.

Since 3/6 seemed pretty beatable, I'll probably start playing 5/10 and up starting next time. Oh, and for anyone still there, go to the Emerald Diner and have yourself an "Eggs Oscar" if you haven't tried it. It's delicious.

Ohhh... that's how you spell your name.

A friend of mine (hobbsman) mentioned he had played with Rory in Boston (R.St.) at some point in the past.

Good to meet you guys. Hope the trip was successful.

I was playing 30/60 there yesterday. worst game ever.

i found the 15/30 wasn't very good with only one really evidnet soft spot. an endless supply of bad playing, but too tight passive to make much money from seem to play the 15/30 after 4pm, making it a good game only before the 30/60 opens up which is somewhere between 7am and noon.

talking to rory and drG, it sounded like the 30/60 can be a pretty good game but its pretty hit or miss

the 2+2 1-5 stud was ridiculous.

SC,

I felt the game got quite a bit better once you left, actually. One big fish and bunch of generic tightish types who played their good hands to weakly and called down too much. I was running well, though, so that might have skewed my view.

I may try and get back soon. It's unfortunate to hear the 30/60 isn't any good.
