Winstar is at mile 1 of the TX/OU border. Avg drive time from Dallas to Winstar, under 90 min. Drive time to shreveport: 3 hrs.

Well the Winstar is definitely closer to DFW than Shreveport is. Shreveport is 180 miles from Dallas (even farther from the airport), and I'm pretty sure that Winstar is only like 80 miles from DFW. But I also haven't been to the Winstar, so I can't comment on the wait times.

Winstar doesnt open until 4PM. If you get there around 4 or 5PM you'll be fine. If you go on the weekend, you wont be playing. The waitlist is neverending, trust me.

As of Monday of last week, the poker room was opening at 12 noon during the week and weekends. On the days when I've been there between 12 and 5 pm, they've usually had a couple of 5/10 no limit tables going; they also have a number of 4/8, 5/10 and 10/20 limit games going on. During the afternoon hours, the wait is not bad. On average - (nb. between 12/5pm) - the wait for the 5/10 NL has been about 30 minutes; however, there are usually limit seats available and the floor staff is excellent with respect to quickly getting you to a game you like.

They post 20/40 limit but I've not seen it played there yet. Perhaps on the weekend?

Good luck.
