I like this place too. Staff is very friendly. I played here when they were in a crossway at the casino a couple of years ago. Recently, I spent a week here in August and last Sunday again in the new room.
The room is nice with 22 tables now. Restrooms are close by with a free soda/coffee bar and a Red Bull $$ machine. In the evenings, there is usually a food cart brought in for a bit. You can get 90 minutes for food if you want to break away.
Important note. Missouri Gaming Comm. is messed up. Hours: 6:00am - 4:00am. $500 maximum buy-in at the cashier's window every two hours. You run your card every time you buy. There are other strange limits but you can read the rules when you get there.
They spread 3/6 Limit, 1/2 & 2/5 regularly with 5/5 N/L and up to 20/40 Limit spread upon interest. I have always seen 20/40 Limit in the evenings.
Play is mixed with crazy tables and casual tables. I've sat at both. There are good players here and the clueless. There are some characters here as well. I must tell you that there is a lady, who will remain nameless, that will tell you the most ridiculous stories, especially about her play in the WSOPs. She will also comment on how bad you play a la Hellmuth, if you beat her out of a hand. There's another guy who will muck his cards and throw his chips with an orchestra conductor's sharpness. It's funny as hell.
I wavered on this crazy train but walked out with about $65 happy. I was casual and enjoyed the game.

They said it couldn't be done. When we principal wrote approximately the nearly invisible tree house to be built in Sweden by Tham & Videgard, 899 commenters mentation it was computer-generated eye bon-bons, inconceivable to body, and eradication for the benefit of birds.
But the architects built it, undivided of six units in a "Treehotel," which recently opened 40 miles south of the Arctic Cordon in Sweden.

When were you at Harrahs? The Mo gaming commission since the first of the year has removed all buy in and loss limits and you no longer have to swipe your card every two hours.
The newest and hottest casino in St Louis is River City. It is located in So County just off I-55 and is the closest to Las Vegas you will find in the midwest. Walking into it from the south enterance (thats closest to the poker room) you would think you are in Vegas. The poker room is a little small and unless its a week end they are only running 4 -5 tables. It has only been open since March 2010 and is getting better ever time.
The staff and the dealers are great and they track your comps right at the table which is good and bad. At there sister casino and all the others in St Louis you can swipe in at the desk and fudge your swipe out time picking up an extra hour here and there.
The players are mixed, with an equal number of good players and fish but if you play a tight game you can usually walk away a winner. I took a good pot off an player who went all in with Queen high. I had K-J of spades and the flop was K hearts and two spades. I never got the spade for the flush and when he saw only two on the board he must have thought my flush was busted. In fact his leaving remark was "I put you on a flush draw"
If you are ever in the St Louis area I would recommend a trip to River City.
