The max buy-in on a new table is 100 big blinds but if it is an existing table, you can buy in up to the size of the biggest stack at the table.
Apparently house rules are no button straddle, but UTG straddle allowed.
The action was pretty mixed. Felt like there were some people playing poker for the first time as well as a few grinders in headphones. Overall, the average customer was probably a 45 year old casual recreational player. Not many young guys in there at all and play was pretty tight and passive. I played for 4 hours and I think I saw one 3-bet. (granted, I was only playing 1-3). One guy tried to limp reraise his pocket Aces UTG and no one raised him. He got 9 callers.
Someone did the under the gun $6 straddle only twice over the whole four hours. The games were pretty quiet. No chatting or talking at all at my table. The dealer even kept commenting on it. Sort of felt like people were cautiously trying to feel each other out and did not know what to expect. I didn't see any horrible plays, nor anything impressive either. Overall, pretty middle of the road, I would say.
Just to clarify on the time, you can keep the time cards for the future. You can take them home and bring them back and use them supposedly. I personally did not want to do that though. I don't want to tie up my cash in time cards when there's really no advantage to. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't ever leave a casino without cashing chips out either. I don't want to take them home with me and have to guarantee myself a return trip.
