Empire State Poker Series, Turning Stone *Official Thread*

dtbog · #1 07-28-2005, 04:11 PM

Alright, let's keep this to one thread. No more threads on the topic.

Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY is running their annual Empire State Poker Series, from Sunday August 14th to Sunday August 21st. A list of events is posted here.

I'll be up for most of the end of the week, as will at least a few other 2+2'ers... I might catch a couple of tournaments but I'll probably mostly play cash games.

If anyone's thinking of stopping up, post in this thread. If you have any questions about rake or what games they spread at TS, also post it in this thread... don't make a new one. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I want to go but have a couple of questions.

1. Will they still have the regular cash games?
2. What days/times are high for carding?

My friend (Rounder9999 on the forums) and I will be there the whole week, staying at the resort. I plan on playing a few of the smaller tournaments and a whole lot of ring games. I think Jeff (Rounder) will be playing every event including the main event.

I'd love to meet up with some fellow 2+2ers during the week. Unfortunately, I'm only 19, so I can't buy anyone a beer [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

I am planning on going to this. But someone is going to have to pick me up from the airport in Syracuse. PM me or respond in the thread. Murders and rapists need not apply.

edit: I want to come in to town on the 15th.

That's basically why I'm going, so yes.

It doesn't matter when you're 18!! GET OLDER [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i don't really know, I got carded three times in the same day once, otherwise never... so I think it's just dependent on when the gaming commission is in town

They usually spread higher games during tournament weeks, but the typical line up is Limit HE up to 30/60, NLHE 1/2 ($100 or $200 max, yes they have both) and 2/5 ($300 max), sometimes a NLHE 5/10 with no cap.

Sometimes there's a 1-5 stud and 1-5 stud H/L as well.
