Colorado Poker (Black Hawk, Central City, Cripple Creek) - Page 79 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'm heading to the denver area for the next week, I'm looking for any information on where the decent lhe (10-20 to 40-80) games are and hopefully with table selection and games that wont break after an hour.
Any info will help, thanks.

There are two FL games that run regularly in BH.

4/8 w/ half kill
30/60 w/ 2/3 kill (50/100)

Yep. That's all. I honestly don't get why something in the middle like 10/20 won't run.

Both games are found almost exclusively at the Ameristar. 4/8 is usually a weekend game with one or two going. 30/60 runs around the clock almost. On weekday nights they usually get 2 or 3 games. Weekends probably 4 or 5. There are always main game/must move games for the 30/60.

Ive seen poker room managers do the opposite of this at ameristar. 10/20 interest lists repeatedly gets deleted with 5+ people on it

They probably gave up. I know a few years ago they were willing to get it going but it was never consistent enough. Then The Lodge tried and offered stupid comps for it, and failed. Then Isle tried and failed.

Bravo currently showing a 50/100 interest list with 5 people @ Ameristar. Wonder if they'll kill one of the 30/60's to get this one going?

No chance, everyone on that list is at a main game now

Was hoping to see that one go. Figured you or Wiz would sit down and clean it up for 3 racks.

thanks, but it would've been a tough line up if it had run (I left around 130 AM last night and there was still a list so I don't think it went). I think I would've stayed at 30/60 to feast without some of the tougher players around.

Someone was telling me it ran during the week as well? Maybe the CPC drove it, I know there were at least a few out of towners around (played with Sam Grizzle last night). Was that a green chip game at least? Three racks of green would be awesome!

Got there a shade before 2 and I believe they'd pulled the interest list by then. Granted, I wasn't actively seeking it out either.

Figured CPC was the reason an interest list started in the first place.

I'll be in the Denver area from 5/29 thru 6/6 for work. Where's the best place to play?Colorado still doesn't have true NL cash games right? What are the betting limits in the most popular games? Is there decent action during the week or is it best to stick to weekends? Thanks for the info in advance.

I'll be in Denver most of July for the World Lacrosse Championships (helping out the Colombian team).

What is the rake structure on the 30/60 at Ameristar?

My reg games are 15/30 to 40/80; it's pretty frustrating that 30 is the ONLY mid-limit game in B'hawk.

Lastly, I'm sure I could find this somewhere in the thread, but I've already looked through 500 responses and I give up... how far is BH from DEN? 50 minutes to an hour or so? Is BH the only place (well, BH/CC) to play legal poker in CO?

And there are two "CC"s where poker is legal, Central City (right next to BH) and Cripple Creek (down by Colorado Springs). You don't want to play Cripple Creek if you want to play mid-stakes limit. It's probably been hundreds of posts since the last mention of Cripple Creek in this thread.
