Looking for any input for this casino. Most I've found is that there are 2/4 LHE Sun-Thurs and 5/10 LHE Fri&Sat.

Wondering what kind of players play there and if its a fun atmosphere. Also, how hard would it be to play limit when Im really used to playing NL. I understand starting hands seem to loose value in limit, is that right? Also its hard to bluff? In my home game if I take down a good pot I usually can bluff a lot of hands w/ overcards on the table due to fear, it seems. Impossible in limit?

Any input would be great.

Chris

i got an idea

play the 2/5 NL at the trump about 10 minutes from there

i used to live in illinois and i've never played at harrahs because they dont offer NL.

Trump is real nice though, brand new room.

also, the harrahs in St. Louis offers NL as well if your ever down there

So the Trumph offers NL? Is that the one in Gary, IN?

Thanks for the info, I think 10 more minutes would be worth it

Yeah its real close to it. I passed it when I went to harrahs a few months ago. I didnt play any poker there though so I cant tell you much about that. NL is about the only poker I play.

Oh yeah and do you skydive. If you do we should make a jump together somewhere. I jumped a shitload this summer. Where do you live at. Are you close to like Skydive Chicago, Napoleon, Goshen?

If I am not mistaken the NL game at Trumps has a $200 min. buy in and the blinds are 5/5, not 2/5. I could be wrong though. If someone know for sure, let me know.

right, its a 5/5 not a 2/5.

its a 250 minimum buy in but very VERY lucrative if you play super tight and play position well.

lol oh yeah and how slow do you fall. When I started I fell at about 105-110 somewhere they told me but I can get up to 128 now in a hard arch. Those pro tracks are lovely. On a tracking dive I got my average down to 93 or 97. Whatever it was it was damn slow lol. I want to get some of the phoenix-fly track pants because people have been claiming they are almost as good as the classic birdman suits. U get great tracking ability with out all the crap you have to deal with wingsuit flying. They are like 245 I think. I'll probably wait till next year and hope some used ones pop up on dropzone.com.

I came up w/ that sn march of 2000 when I signed up w/ dropzone.com and was falling pretty slow. Now i'm average 155 in a sit and have gotten to 172mph in a stand. Turning 21 and drinking more beer helped my fall rate
