friends don't let friends play Omaha...lol

In 20+ yrs i have hosted - i have NEVER held an omaha game
I day trade for a living with a major folio and laugh when someone says they are an Omaha expert.

Sorry for the off track comment - I too wish you the best in bringing a great venue for Texas poker players

Just stop.

When are you planning on opening?

New poker room in Flint, Texas (near Tyler)

https://www.tiltpokerroom.com/

A pic of some chips and a pic of a vacant building with a description of the lighting.

Looks like this club is well on its way😬

So what am I likely to find if I check out the Plano location on a Tuesday / Wednesday evening? Like a couple tables and all 1/2 or 1/3? Any info is appreciated.

The best private games are in north dallas
These rake free rooms suck all nits

Wow so there will now be FIVE separate legal venues in Austin:

- Texas Card House South
- Texas Card House North
- Throne Poker
- The Prestige
- Chisholm Trail

From one room to five almost overnight, crazy!

We really need to get all these rooms to start using Bravo - does anyone know what the process is? Can any venue be listed on Bravo or do you have to officially be a licensed casino?

Bravo is part of a casino networked software - I don't believe you can get a license for them for non-regulated operations

Hrm... that's what I thought, bummer. Throne at least has a live feed on their site of what tables are running and how many players, I wish Texas Card House would do this as well.

Yes interested to see if the player bases grow at the north spots or if it's going to thin them out.

When is this going to get too big and get shut down is the better question IMO
8(

Plus it is really expensive

When there are 5+ locations open in DFW and the Chickasaws start asking why nobody is visiting their poker room and what kind of impact this is having on their other games. When someone puts one in Denton that will probably be the death knell for these rooms. Will be interesting to see how it plays out either way though.

I just lob in a phone call. Get the info in 3 secs and on lists if necessary.

Austin is so geographically separated. North is North and South is South. There is little crossover due to the massive geography.

It's the same for real estate. So separate and distinct markets.

Ahhhhh, GLUM from Lilliput has arrived. Another broke dick hoping successful people and people trying to make a living get ****ed over.

Get alife, *****.

Yessir been here since 93 and my south of the river friends like to be clear about the N/S divide

I'm talking about 4-5 of these rooms up north competing against each other.


And as for the Okies worrrying about the growth of these... I think you'll have some rec players that think these rooms are "more expensive" because they see the hourly and fees but don't realize what they spend in tipping/rake/bbjp at the casino because it all just magically disappears.

Maybe Dnegs is right more rake is better?

And wow... Just saw lonestar poker in Houston post that they are doing away with the seat fee and it will be a $25 one day membership fee only for as much as you want to play that session...

One of the things that I find most interesting about the new rooms opening up North in Austin is that they don't seem at all concerned about getting a location in the ETJ.

I know when I was looking to do this last year I was insistent on finding a property in the ETJ, which really narrows down the search area. The TCH North location, Throne, and Prestige are all in Austin Full Purpose area - that means full permitting plan review/approval required for the business and you must state the establishments intended use as part of that process. So I wonder if the new rooms jumped through these hoops and if so what use-type they applied for, or if they just skipped it and are hoping the city inspector and/or fire marshal doesn't decide to shut them down for invalid permits. There are some businesses that decide to go the "ask forgiveness instead of permission" route but it's very risky as you can get shut down for months without any notice if the inspector gets pissed enough.

Yes I was wondering about their location choices as well

Can someone give me more info via PM on these games in north Dallas?

Good point, but location matters. Location relative to the DFW population base is the reason that Winstar is the largest casino in the world and Choctaw isn't. Location is the reason that Winstar has a packed poker room all weekend long and why the lone 2/5 game at Choctaw was 5 handed last Friday at 8pm.

Right now these "legal" poker rooms mainly cater to 1/2 and 1/3 players. If more rooms open up in DFW it will be interesting to see if any try to run more 2/5 games. The Winstar 2/5 games are filled with players that play there regularly (regardless of skill level). Word of mouth about legal games in the metroplex (with low rake relative to home games) could eventually leave the Winstar 2/5 game looking more like Choctaw.
