Legal poker in Texas - Page 3 - Poker News

Was back up there Friday. Didn't fair well in the tournament being absoutely card dead on an active table, but made a nice profit in the cash game.

Not sure what industry people would be ragging on the game for aside from it being super soft. The only downside for me is the location and time frame. It's deep south austin and it's only open 4 or 5 days from 7PM to 3AM. I'm way up north so the drive is a bitch and it'd be nice if it was open later, earlier or both.

I was there Friday night also. Were you happened to be in the cash game next to the front wall that thing looked like it was a great table. I did not get there tell later so was in the 2nd cash table that started up. It was ok but not as lively as the number 1 table.

It did seem like a good game from what I could tell. By the time I busted the tourney the wait list was too long so I went to an underground game for a bit after. I stopped by there last Thursday as well and played cash for a bit and it was playing pretty deep. Lots of $10 straddles going on that night.

If any of you remember the lawyer that came through cheating with that card reader mechanism that ended up with one of the best rooms in Austin ever to get shut down when someone called the cheese because of it.

Yea I was around during that time. They hit my Monday day game pretty hard.

You must be talking about that warehouse nw off of Burn/183 road I think. They called in a hostage report or something. The MH.

Then they started parking outside the place everynight to make it known that they knew what we were doing and were watching. He decided it was time to close up and move on.

Doors open at 7. Tourney starts at 8. I have not been on Wednesday so I can't say, but Fridays have been busy and the tournament is full or very close to full by 8. If they have enough players there at 7, they'll start a cash game immediately.

There is something similar here in SA. Called alamo city poker club but I haven't talked to any players about it. None of the degens in the 2 games I play at down here have been in there. Probably because they don't have markers and weed.

Lol @ markers and weed. Yup, lack of that will drive away some players. Fine by me really.

Caught up with the new location on Anderson for the Sunday tourney. $110 buy in for 8K chips with a single $60 rebuy / addon for another 6K. 20 min blinds, lots of levels.

We ended up with just short of 30 players and I managed to ship it for $1720.

Good tourney, wish we had more tables.

I checked it out this week, and had a good time at the cash tables, solid action at the tables I played. Tuesday and Wednesday the cash tables started at 7pm and they had two full tables by 7:30, and by 10-11 there was a 3rd cash table running. Have not tried the tournaments, so I can't comment about the blind structure.

I need to check this place out. Only thing is is that I'm up way up in North Austin/Pville. If any austinites can give me info on games in north austin/pville/round rock that'd be cool.
