I have not been to this room in quite a while. I know they used to spread 5/10 and 10/20 on weekdays, but nothing on the weekends. I have recently heard they now offer NL on sat/sundays. Is this true? How are the games and what is the max buyin?

I am thinking about heading up there tonight with some buddies, but only if they offer live poker on the weekends.

Thanks

I've never been there personally, but the only reason I haven't is because of what I've heard. I've never heard a good thing about their poker room, especially regarding the waits.

I don't know specific details, but searching should give you some results.

Personally, I'd skip it.

Poker Wiki

It was not described to be a very good room, which is why I have never bothered going there.

In their first week of operation in late '04, play at $5/10 was incredibly bad (avg. 7-8 to the flop), but I haven't been there since.

In light of the small size and high rake (is this normal for Chicagoland? I should read some of the other wiki entries), fishy play is the only reason I would consider going there.
