That sucks the smoke gets to you guys. I'll be f'd if I ever quit I guess.

Nearly every game (2-5) I get into up there is soft as hell. I don't understand why people complain.

I avoid the lodge like the plague, although the 2-5 action is still soft. Gilpin is nice but the action is dry. CCS is the shiznat... mega action and the best tournament structure in town. Mountain high is pretty good but the games seem able to be tougher (small sample size). FV used to be a bunch of rocks nut-peddling, I don't go there now. I haven't been to the golden gates' room yet.

I agree with pretty much everything. I play at CCS every Saturday night and there are always plenty of action.

I've played at CCS and the Gilpin. I made more $ at CCS but I like the Gilpin's room. Haven't tried FV or MH but I heard (maybe wrongly) that MH's games are like the Lodge. I also heard that if you have a player's card (like the slot club) they pay you $1 an hour.

I have a friend who's a floor at the Lodge. He doesn't understand why I don't like playing "the lottery", as I call their games.

What amount of money do you all buy in for up in Blackhawk...assume you're playing the 2-5 games.

What is your average winrate? Not in terms of big blinds per hour, but in terms of total earnings per session? I'm doing well I think if I take home $100 after a four hour session.

I usually buy a rack of white and a stack of red for show, so that's $200. Usually I'll cash out around $300-350 after 5 hours.

What exactly are you showing? The only thing that shows is when I have a stack of red at the end of the night, I know where it came from.

Anyone ever play at Easy Street or Famous Bonanza in Central City? I'm not sure how good this info is, but I've read they each have one table. I may check it out some time just to complete my chip collection.

I think I might go play the Psycho 50 tonight at The Gilpin. You guys should go pad my prize pool.

Enjoy playing the lottery. The Friday Night $50 with re-buys is insane. Crazy wackos...I've been told it takes about $300 to be successful in this tourney.

I hate the Gilpin's tourney structures, they become all in fests quite quickly.

We should pick a night next weekend where the Colorado 2+2ers can meet at a casino (larger one) and commandeer a full table.
