Made my first trip to a B&M this weekend and thought I would come report.
Hollywood is a riverboat casino, Aurora is in the southwest part of the greater Chicago area.
The poker room has 6 tables and they offer 5/10 and 10/20 LHE. I found the competition to be mixed on the 5/10 - sometimes play was tight with opps that seemed to know what they were doing, and sometimes things were loose and fishy and the money flowed.
They have a NLHE tournament every Wednesday, an 80-player MTT. Signups start at 09:30 and they randomly pick a starting point in the list and go down the list from there to select the 80 entrants. I believe the entry is $180 and they pay the final table.
On Sundays, they run single table SNGs with a $90 entry. Pay the top two, starting chips 1500, blinds start at 25/50 and go up every 15 min. They only run one tourney at a time, with the 5/10 and 10/20 going on at the other tables.
For the last few weeks they have been running WPT "subqualifiers" on Sundays. Keeping the $90 SNG format as above, 2nd gets $250 and winner gets a $500 entry into a 80-player MTT tourney in March. Top prize there is a $26K entry into a WPT event at the Bellagio, and I think they pay out cash on FT.
I played one of the SNGs, came in 3rd. Spent most of my time on the 5/10 tables and did pretty well. Came out up about 500 for the weekend. One special note - 18 hours of poker, and my AA count was exactly zero, bleah. Fun trip overall, I'm probably going back next weekend to take another shot at the SNG qualifiers. |

I've played here a few times. i also believe they've added some 20/40 tables as well.
The 5/10 and 10/20 action usually have a main table with a couple feeders and last time I was there i 'believe' they had capacity for 9 tables.
The 5/10 game was pretty loose as can be expected and the 10/20 game was nothing too spectaculer. The players are generally no where near as good you would find at a 3/6 full table on party. I plan on sitting there for a couple days next week for spring break before I head to vegas. |
