jjburdick 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 all the pool halls around town hold $25 dollar tourneys on sunday. For sure the Green Room and Cuenique. Other than that, the closest place to play "legally" near madison in Potowatimi(spelling) in Milwaukee or these Charity Casino nights in Rockford. To get info about the rockford ones... its rockfordcharitablegames.com. That is it. There used to be a place in town that had a good 5-10 or 10-20 mixed game but I dont know where it is held anymore. I just graduated from UW so.. Havent been there since since august. Link to post Share on other sites

mr_druid 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Poto remodeled. 17 tables now. Call in up to two hours before you check in to get on the lists. 414-847-7605$30-60 limit is going now, games are pretty sick. People play it like it is still $2-4. Other limit games are $2-4, 3-6, 4-8, 5-10, 10-20, 30-60.$2-5nl ($200-600 min-max) and sometimes $5-10 ($400-1000).Still have 7 stud and omaha hi-lo. We convinced our 7 stud dealer to run a razz game once, but they aren't "properly trained" for it so it only lasted about an hour before the floor staff shut it down.Tom.

lakong 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi, guys. At tworags.com we have listings in our guide for four casinos in Wisconsin:Bad River Lodgehttp://www.tworags.com/BadRiverLodgeCasinoandConvention.htmlHole-in-the-Wallhttp://www.tworags.com/HoleInTheWallCasinoandHotel.htmlMenomineehttp://www.tworags.com/Menominee.htmlSt. Croix Casino & Hotelhttp://www.tworags.com/StCroixCasinoAndHotel.htmlUnfortunately, we have very little info for these rooms. If you guys can provide us with any information such as games spread, wait times, tournaments played, etc., we'll update the listings for these and any other rooms in WI that we don't have. Also, if you can send us pictures or write trip reports or reviews (you'll see links at the bottom of the pages) that would be great. We'll start by pulling info from this thread!We do have much more substantial info for the bigger casinos such as the ones in Vegas. Also, if you know the room managers and want to put them in touch with us, they can have their own logins whereby they can add flyers, tournament info and promos themselves. You can see an example of this at:http://www.tworags.com/ChumashCasinoResort.html (see the manager's corner section in the top right).So in summary, we're striving to be the definitive collection of this type of info on the web. We need real players to help us out, especially for the smaller casinos and for places like WI. It would be great if some of you can help us out. In fact, we're running a promotion whereby we'll pay $2 per trip report or room review -- see http://www.tworags.com/article_25.html.* You can see a typical user myhome page at: http://www.tworags.com/home/lakong. The nice thing about posting your reviews and trip reports on the site, is that it becomes your poker archive and friends and family can read about your experiences all in one place.Thanks,Scot Link to post Share on other sites
mr_druid 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Potowatomi update:Same as in my previous post.Played in January on my birthday, and dropped $1500 in about 30 minutes. Lost with AA, AA, and a nut flush to a boat. All on the river. Both AA were cracked by backdoor flushes.Played again today. Bought in for $400. Worked it up to $530 in half an orbit. Forgot to straddle so I just call utg with QQ. Table has been playing fast, figured a raise was imminent from someone in late position. 4 players to the flop. Flop is 3,4,6 rainbow. BB bets $35. I raise to $105. Calls. Turn is a 5. I've played this guy many times, and figured all he calls the raise with is an overpair or open ended straight draw. Turn is a 8. Checks, which sets off warning bells. I have no idea where I am. I figure the only way to win is to confuse him. I bet $95, raises me all in. Other players start talking about the board, and calling hands out loud. This angers the bb, so I think he is still on a draw. I shove. Turns over 78. Says I didn't bet enough on the flop to "give him odds to fold". Whatever. Bad shove on my part, bad call on his on the flop. Life goes on.I switch tables. I buy in for $300. I get AK early and raise to $25. 2 callers. Flop is AJ2 rainbow. I bet 80, one calls. Turn is a K. I bet $125 figuring he has AJ, he raises me all in. I give a crying call to see he has Q10. I figure i'll take another 6 months off.Tom. Link to post Share on other sites

pokertees 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 hi all feel this thread could do with a bump as i'm gonna be going to madison for 10 days from the 20th july and want to play a bit of pokie while over in the states. not really interested in traveling to a casino, so a local bar or private club (if you have them over there) that hosts nl holdem tournies would be perfect buy in $25- $50. Thanks in advance for any posts related to this. Link to post Share on other sites
HubDub04 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I can't even begin to count the amount of times i've completely raped Potowatomi session after session.If you are good at poker, and like money, then you should never leave the Potowatomi Poker Room.(even though i'm making more money playing online than I am live nowadays)Pointless .2 from me.
