The NEW Isle of Capri poker room in Lake Charles

[DaNoob]

I'm headed down to Lake Charles this Sunday night and am hoping to play some poker while I'm there. So, a couple of quick questions:

1. Is the 3/6/12 game the lowest limit they offer in ring games?

2. Does anyone know about tournaments being offered there?

3. Quality of players there? (posts so far seem to indicate not too high)

Thanks, and if you guys know of any home games in Houston, let me know.

1. Yes 3/6/12 is the lowest holden limit. After a little while you will love it. On the river you can bet 6 or 12. On the river if its 6 for you to call, you can raise 12 and make it 18 to go. Try to not act surprised when so many pay you off with the nutz.

2. They have tournaments every Monday. $5 buy in, unlimited $15 rebuys, $30 add on at the break. This past Monday we played down to 5 and chopped it. Chip leader took $500, everyone else got $315.

Every other Thursday its a $20 buy in, rebuys and addon same as Mondays Tournament.

3. Typical player at 3/6/12 is average to poor. Lots of chasers. Be prepared for some major suck outs. Many family pots, usually 60 to 70% see a flop. At 10/20 the players are much better, but not great by any means. The 20/40 will take some skill. There are few pretty good regular local players ("pro's") in that game.

The new room is great!!! I think the action will get better as word gets out. Some of the new dealers are terrible. Try and give them a break. I think that issue will sort it self out shortly.

Good Luck!!!

Many thanks for the info. Maybe I'll see you there - I'll be the guy trying to not get sucked out on.

Good luck.
