Detroit questions

Someone referenced three casinos with cardrooms in Detroit, but I really only found discussion on two of them.
Greektown and Motor City Casino (MCC)

MGM Grand in Detroit does not have a poker room. Casino Windsor across the way is rumored to be opening a poker room sometime soon.

Greektown - Spreads 3/6 games on weekends, but has very long wait times associated with them. Has a reputation for having rude floor people and dealers. Is a smoking card room.

[/ QUOTE ]
Correct, except the rudeness is more attributable to the floor staff than the dealers. The dealers are mostly decent folks.

MCC - Lowest game is 5/10 on weekends. Has long waits also, but not as long as Greektown. They also allow you to call in up to an hour in advance to put your name on the wait list. Their cardroom is non-smoking. Their rake rate is $1 higher per hand than Greektown.

Also correct. The floor staff there are much nicer. Also, they haven't been dealing $3-6 during the week either.

People say that just because the 3/6 game isnt there on weekends, the 3/6 players are. So the 5/10 game at MCC is very soft and easy to beat.

Actually, I would say that it borders on insane. You just can't get people off of a hand. It's not far from people playing for play chips online.

Because the players at $5-10 are so erratic, it's very difficult to get a consistent result. I moved up to $10-20 shortly after they dropped the $3-6 game and I've been very happy. The rake has less of an impact and the percentage of regulars at the table is higher. If you have the bankroll and plan on playing there regularly, I'd recommend sticking with $10-20.
