[tylerdurden]

Any updates on Winstar? What limits normally get spread there during the week? I will be in the area mid-July and will defintely be dropping in.

This looks really retarded. Why bother spreading BOTH 3/6 and 4/8? And WTF is up with 9/18 and 10/20? Personally, I'd prefer 9/18, assuming they have $3 chips.

Also, is the poker open 24/7? I heard it wasn't when they first started, but it wasn't clear if this was only because they were short staffed or if this was to be a permanent situation.

Thanks.

There are 10 threads asking those questions, but the answers are vague at best. E.G. "room is *currently* opening at 4:00PM" or "NL is running" but the specifics I asked about aren't there. But thanks for the help.

pvn i was there about two weeks ago. They were running 2/5 5/10 10/20 NL 4/8 5/10 10/20 and 20/40 Limit. Closed at 3am and i believe opened at 3pm though i wasn't there that early. I signed up for 2/5 NL 5/10 and 10/20 limit. The wait for me for 10/20 was about 10 minutes 2/5 a few hours and 5/10 closer to four. It was a Friday night around 6pm.

Thanks for the info. 4/8 and 5/10 in the same room? Brilliant.

3PM-3AM works for me since I'll theoretically be working. In any case, does anyone know if there is a regulatory reason they aren't 24/7 or if they're planning on going 24/7 eventually?

They have big plans. They will be moving the Poker Room, which is now only about 17 tables, to where the Bingo Room is now. They will then have 50+ tables. The gate on that move and on expanding the Poker Room hours is getting enough dealers trained, not regulatory. However, they will probably never be truly 24/7 since the entire casino shuts down between 6am and 8am. That could be regulatory, don't know.

I made my second trip there on Sunday, May 29 (Memorial Day eve). There were crazy long waits for a table. I got on the board at about 6:45p and got seated around 9pm. I understand the wait can be long on weekends, but not quite that long.

They are open 4PM to 3AM. They plan on opening at noon very soon when they get more dealers.

On the weekend the waiting list is a mile long. I went on a Mondat and got there at 3:30 and sat right away obviously. We started 7 handed at 4pm and the table was full in about 10 mins. I was playing $2/$5 NL $300/$500 buy in.

The players were about 50/50 buying in for min/max. If you bust you can rebuy short one time for $150. If you are down to $100 and want to rebuy, you have to rebuy to at least $300.

The game was the most passive Ive ever seen in my life.
I played 4 hours and I think there were about 10 preflop raises. Other than hands that I was in, there was exactly 1 hand where someone bet the flop and got raised. Other than that it was bet/call all the way.

I won about $800
