Also if you know of another poker room in the area that is better let me know. I'm basically looking for a good 24hr room most rooms that I have found die about midnight.

savagerebel 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have been to Firelake. It is pretty good. But there is nothing else to do in the town except the casino. I don't think the poker room is open all night though. You might want to look at Riverwind in Norman, OK. It is newer and I think bigger. The best bet in Oklahoma is the Cherokee in Tulsa. Scotty Nguyen(sp) is using it for his home casino now. It is super nice. Link to post Share on other sites
eljo 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Alright just trying to limit the drive but I guess Ill do what I have to do. I'm coming from Amarillo, Texas Link to post Share on other sites
savagerebel 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 There is another in Durant, OK. About 1 hour north of Dallas. It is the Choctaw Casino. I guess that would be my home casino. I have played there all night more than once. The 1/2 NL is very soft. Link to post Share on other sites
Gimmee your chip 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have been to Sandia, a pretty nice place and perhaps the best one in NM. Nice golf course and spa on the property as well. Poker room is around 20 tables or so with NL, Omaha and various limit games. Not many tourney's if I remember correctly. I played straight through till about 8am and the room was still fairly busy.

dbrent2 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sandia is nice. What about the Windstar in Ardmore? Link to post Share on other sites
savagerebel 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sandia is nice. What about the Windstar in Ardmore?It is in Thackerville, and I have not been there. My parents go about one a month for slots. I know nothing of the poker room there. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I was at Sandia over the new year.1/2NL-the tables are pretty tight/solid. 2/5NL-this game has only gone once while I was there.2/4LHE-I don't know why anyone would play this.4/8LHE-Just like the 2/4 tables. Very loose, 6 people to the flop to a raised pot.10/20LHE w/half kill- Just like the 4/8 tables and there is no way you can possibly lose if you play TAG. Probably the best deal in NM.15/30LHE w/half kill- Just like the 10/20LHE but only goes on the weekends.4/8 O8- good if you want to play omaha. Impossible to lose if you only play premium starting hands. Link to post Share on other sites
ForRealDD 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Cherokee in Tulsa is the best indian casino I've ever been to. They serve cheap drinks, and the rooms rival most vegas hotels.Edit: Winstar is a bunk ass place but the poker room usually has good action. Link to post Share on other sites
jfgonzales 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 If you hit up Route 66 here in Burque, please let me know how it is? I've lived in Burque for about a year now and haven't had a chance to go to any of the casinos. There is also the Santa Ana Star casino in Bernalillo (about 10-15 minutes away from Sandia) and Isleta Casino that have poker rooms. They are only open 24 hours on the weekends though.Nando Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I should mention is that you can't drink anywhere but the bar in a NM casino. Do you have to be 21 in New Mexico casinos?yes Link to post Share on other sites
