What's the room looked like since school is back in? Busier? I will probably head up sometime soon to take all the monies.

BRAVO says they're running high hand all of this weekend basically. Nice to see them finally running a good promo. Hopefully this will bring the fishy out!

they need to do a better job of advertising the promotion than just bravo if they want to attract some fishes.

Okay here is the hand from Wednesday night...

1/2 preflop: UTG straddles 5, EP raises to 20, fold, fold, Button calls 20, SB calls, BB all-in 62, UTG calls all-in for 43, EP calls, fold, Button re-raises all-in 262, SB folds, EP calls.

BB: AJo
UTG: KK
EP: 98o
Button: 33

Flop: 5KK Turn: 3 River: 3

No jackpot. Minimum requirement is now 8888.

Fascinating.

Anyone know when the $300 Knockout finished up last night? I busted 6 hours in and there were still over 60 people left and I was easily the shortest stack at my table w/ 13BB.

I was pretty surprised at how gradual the blind jumps were for a single day tournament. Combined with a large field (232) and that had to be a brutally long day for the FT.

Ended about 2am. No chop.

dealers said table just walked out of casino because they were so tilted about not receiving payment lol

Was at neighboring table. Quad 3s was "The Celebrity". Got up and ranted...I knew this would happen. Never playing here again. At least he didn't say "do you know who I am?" Oh yeah, He won a big side pot.

Anyone know how many for the $660 today?

103

I lied. Mid 90s yesterday, the 103 on the board included today's registrants too. Sitting at 188 total right now.

Are we gonna run 2/5 today and/or tomorrow?

The magic 8-ball says "not bloody likely in Toledo, mate".

Going strong again tonight. Trying to start PLO though. Don't see Coach.

Pipe dreams. Maybe in another world when we are all cats.

Heading on a road trip from NJ to Chicago in October. This is a logical place to stop along the way. I haven't seen any chatter in here since 2016 :-( Is it worth even stopping here to put in a few hours in the evening?

Yes.

You'll probably find a little more talk about it in the Detroit thread. Much more active player base as far as posting on 2+2, and it's close enough that a lot of us head down to Toledo semi-regularly (same distance as the Detroit Casinos for me).

Nice enough casino. OK food. Decently action and bad players.

No hotel though, so you'll have to stay somewhere else. Never bothered staying down there so I can't offer any recommendations.

I'm sure Google will tell you this, but based on experience Morris County (think Exit 35 or so) to Ann Arbor MI will take you 9 hours with quick male-like stops. A touch under an hour to get from Toledo to Ann Arbor. So that's a great place to take a break. No reason to deal with the BS that is Chicago after a 12 hour drive.

Thanks!

Where does Gazi get his money? I have been playing here for a few months now and this man consistently dusts off $1,000 plus every time. I’ve never seen him win. Never. There are so many guys doing this I’m guessing some of the younger ones just have meth money. Like the guy who wears Ohio state jerseys all the time. Plays every single hand no matter what. Overplays them. He just punts and punts and punts. Or the old black guy with the cane, I believe his name is Dave. He will drop 2-3 buys ins at 1-3, then go lose more at 2-5. Mins you, im not complaining, but most of these guys do it look like they have even the sums of money they give away each week.

Hey all:

I would imagine with the strike going on in Detroit, that Toledo has picked up some of the Detroit players?

I had also heard that Toledo closed the room down at like 2 AM due to a shortage of dealers?

I've played Toledo before, and found it to be pretty good, lots of promotions. I have not played there for quite a while though.

Anybody from Detroit heading to Toledo during the strike(s)?

Hey all in Toledo...does anyone have any info on the "poker clubs" such as Reserve and how the membership works (cost, etc)? I didn't see anything on here specific for it, so curious about it. Looks like they offer rakeless cash games and quite the offering of various tournaments. Wanted to know if detroit area folk should check it out and if its worthwhile if only going there occasionally.

It makes me sad to post the truth about this not a poker room. Toledo use to have an actual room but it was moved to an area in the open with fake shrubs around it. Promotions are almost nothing and you wait a long time to play. Best thing is to use the Bravo app and check in at least an hour ahead of time so you don’t wait as long to play. Staff is friendly and they try to make the best of a poor situation. It was much better years ago when they were in an actual room and had enough dealers to have tables open. Sadly this casino makes it clear that poker is not anything they value. Toledo casino is a slots playing location and all the rest is 2nd and poker is about 3rd on their list of priority.
