If it's a mixed game, I would prefer to avoid extremely offbeat mixes... nothing weirder than Badeucy/badacey for my first time. My research thus far leads me to:
Talking Stick/CAZ: The 8/16 and 20/40 OE games look like they usually run, but I have heard that the mix tends towards very offbeat games and am worried that the lineup is on the tough side. Still at the top of my list due to the 20/40 OE though.
Foxwoods - seems like the place to be for stud hi
Canterbury - The 40/80 mix runs frequently on Bravo, but no idea what is in the mix.
Bellagio - I have heard the 40/80 mix is fairly standard when it runs, but that the 80/160 is very offbeat. There seems to be 20/40 O8 with a half kill and 30/60 stud hi pretty often, but unreliable.
Non-Commerce LA card rooms - Pokeratlas is much less helpful than Bravo, but it sounds like there are options here.
Commerce - I mostly see stud hi or very high stakes mixed games listed.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hammonds Horsehoe in Indiana has 50/100 mix twice a week and 30/60 mix once a week if I recall.
If you PM Clayton, he'll probably have more info on the games in mix now and how soft it is.
Hammond also has 20/40 half kill LHE game on Fridays which I can confirm is VERY soft. Their PLO game is soft from what I've heard as well.
I think Pottawatami in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has LHE and mix games too around 20/40 - 50/100 but not as frequent as Hammond Horseshoe. Pottawatami by far has the softest NL game though.
Did you learn mix strictly from playing online low stakes? I don't even have time to play LHE live or online anymore but would be very interested to learn how you transitioned to learning mix so quickly.
