Howdy,

La Center...23 mins from my drive way to their parking lot, but way to smokey in the poker rooms for me. If you ever play(ed) there and saw someone wearing a HEPA mask...you saw me.

It is still a small poker room...maybe 5 tables. They break out tables from somewhere for this baby.

Games being spread were (I think).

Omaha Pot Limit (night I watched someone bought in for $200 and cashed for the 12.5k)
Hold'em 4/8 up to 20/40
NL Hold'em $200 max buy in
NL Hold'em $500 max buy in
Omaha/Hold'em 20/40
Omaha Hi/Lo 4/8 - ? I'm going to buy a book on this when I get up today.
They are pretty laid back...they even put 'strip poker' up on the board and announced it over the intercom to be dealt at table 13...all dealer and casino personel names...but it showed good humor.

I know by most standards this is small time, but even finding a single NL game is hard and being able to play in a NO SMOKING place...HEAVEN!!!

You see the air in the Multi-Purpose room is most certainlly taken care of by air handlers that don't do the smoke filled casino. My personal dream is to open a poker room that is 100% non-smoking, sealed off seperate room...blah blah blah.

Anyway, back to chips.

One dealer reported that they all (her term) got in trouble the first day, because people were buying the $3 drop chips from the dealers...he he...I'll be sure to do that on day one this fall if I can. Sorry, but I didn't even see one to tell you what they look like.
