Re: Hollywood Casino @ Charles Town, WV Poker Thread
With the online fiasco this is the closest poker room for me. 1/2 and 2/5 pretty decent games over there? Prob just plan on weekends as I have school and stuff.

Re: Hollywood Casino @ Charles Town, WV Poker Thread
Given the weather and the whole Stars/Tilt situation, I finally headed over today for my first trial of the Chuck.
Arrived a bit before noon and got seated at a new 2/5 NL table in fairly short order.
Play is pretty typical of live casinos. Lots of limping, fairly loose calls being made, etc. The room was absolutely packed when I left. I can't compare it to other Saturdays, but the dealers commented on it being busier than usual.
Waits were out of hand when I left, but I didn't have it in me to stay all night. I'd say get there before noon to make sure you get a good seat w/o waiting too long.

If anyone has not seen the news, there was a major indictment laid down on the major poker sites recently; Ironically, DC also just legalized online gambling.

I will be one of those...I look forward to switching from 1-4 tables of heads up to 1 table of nine handed and making 20% of my old hourly rate:-(

I played on Saturday and I think that the crowd was normal for a Saturday. Yes, if you want to get a seat quickly, best to arrive before noon on a Saturday.

What are Sundays like at Charlestown? Still good action, but less of a wait? Sometimes I can't get there on Saturday before noon, and then the wait is like 2 hours. Just wondering...how many tables go on Sunday of 2-5? 5-10?

Any other online pros going to give C-Town a shot?
I think I'll be heading out there on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Can anyone give me an idea of how likely it is that there is a 5/10 game running on Tuesdays and Thursdays? I was thinking of arriving at around 2 pm (to beat rush hour) and leaving around 10pm. I assume that if there is a 5/10 game it doesn't start until later, so maybe I should do something like 8pm to 4am? I hate driving in traffic but I am perfectly fine with being awake at night:-)

So far every Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm there, they had 1 or 2 table going in the later afternoon. I'm not sure what time they start though.

GL. The play at the Chuck bears little resemblance to online play...
