Aberlour 21 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hey guys (and ladies),I realize I'm a newbie and it seems you're set on doing this at a one of the boats but I'd be honored to host this. I'm about 20 miles from the Loop (central downtown for the out of towners) and have everything we'd need along with a lot of fish and the space to hold up to around 60.P.S. The "fish" can be added at the group's request. Link to post Share on other sites

As you come south on 41 it hooks with the Edens just South of Glencoe. I'll give it to ya. :-) Little trivia - 41 is actually LSD when you get into the city. Link to post Share on other sites

mk 11 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Has anyone played at the new Caesars room? I've heard they overhauled it and that it's actually nice now. The website says they spread LH down to $2/4 and a $1/2 NL game.http://www.caesars.com/Caesars/Indiana/Cas...esars_Poker.htm Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 what does the resorts spread? or even better, does anyone have a link to their site? Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 what does the resorts spread? or even better, does anyone have a link to their site? http://www.resortseastchicago.com/casino.shtmlBut 5-10, 10-20 and 20-40 I believe. And NL $500 max with 5/10 blinds.I've only been to Trump, and they have 3-6, 5-10, 8-16 sometimes and maybe 10-20 up. I don't play the high ones.. they always have 3-6 and and $200NL with 2/5 blinds going. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't play the high ones.. they always have 3-6 and and $200NL with 2/5 blinds going.Here is what Resorts spreads:Limit HE: 5-10, 10-20, 20-40, sometimes higher if enough people agree.Mixed: 30-60 H.O.S.E. (This game plays nightly, but sometimes there are different variants/limits depending on the players) I've played this game once and it was amazingly soft. 3 of the players literally didn't know how to play O8.NLHE: $500 Max with 5/10 blinds. Omaha:5-10 (This game often is not going)Crazy Pinapple: I know they spread it but have no idea what limits because its silly.Other: On weekends there are sometimes bigger games opened such as a large PLO game or a big PLHE game. Most of us will be playing 20-40 or below anyway so we probably don't have to worry about this. Last time I was at Trump with Kurt the biggest limit game they had going with 5-10. Bleh. Lets go to Resorts. Link to post Share on other sites
KappaKid83 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 I like the 10/20, that would be okay by me. So I would like Resorts, although a Home Game wouldnt bother me in the future, but I think for this trip well keep it at a casino. Kurt, I am waiting to hear from Mike as to when he can come down, so Ill let you know as soon as he lets me know.JEFF Link to post Share on other sites
Aberlour 21 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 No problem if you guys would rather keep it at a casino. I completely understand. Looks like I'll still be having a home game on the 3oth thoough. So, just in case anyone's plans change.We'll be starting with a tourney followed up by a ring game as people are eliminated.

Kilgore Trout 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Is it the 26th, or the 30th, what is it for sure, I'm 90% I'll be there any day other than the 26th and 50% chance on the 26th (I have to drive back from st. louis on the 26th so I may not feel like coming down).BUT, as I have said before, if we go to a boat I certainly owe you dudes a boat drink.

Lets go to Resorts.I'm probably gonna be playing either the 10-20 or 20-40 LHE game, but I wanted to know it for future referrence. It'd be nice if they spread higher then 30-60 though as once I start playing 20/40 and 30/60 online its not gonna make that much sense for me to play live if they aren't spreading higher games(if I could afford it I'd love to get in that HOSE game, though I don't really know much about stud8) Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierAlum 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Keith, don't worry about not being proficient in Stud8. It is easily my worst game but it didn't matter playing with these guys. The one time I played there was 1 kid who was good and 1 middle aged guy who was adequate, and the rest of the table had no clue what was going on. They just basically came to gamble and didnt want to play just hold 'em.I don't feel comfy sitting in a 30/60 game without a roll of over 20k, so I can't play that game regularly right now. But whenever I'm at the poker room I always go up to the "big game" and ask if they are interested in adding or switching up 2-7 TD to the mix. They haven't agreed yet, but one night they will and I can guarantee they have no clue how to play.I agree there is no good reason to go to the casino if you are playing 30/60 on the internet, but like I said sometimes they get 50/100 HE and higher games going and I imagine they arent very tough.

MJINK3 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 If I go I prob won't have the roll for 10-20. I'll only be4 able to muster up 400-500 bucks. I'll stay low limits unless I get on a roll then hit up the no limits. Link to post Share on other sites

mears352 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 All,Long time lurker here but I just wanted to throw this out there...Resorts has very juicy 10-20 game. I play there atleast twice a week and have very good results. I live about 20 minutes from there so I would join you guys anytime during that week. I'll keep an eye out for the dates you guys choose and can meet you guys up there. Link to post Share on other sites

Resorts room is smaller a little cramped but once your sitting who cares. they have checks that dont stick together Link to post Share on other sites
