I just got a call from a friend who said that DP will be opening at noon Friday and stay open 24 hours thereafter. But, that they already passed their license and will open tomorrow (Thursday) spreading every game that they can. So, 2/5, horse, Omaha or anything else they get an interest in will spread from 2 to 10 beginning Thursday. He said the room was rockin tonight with 12 to 14 tables running. Screw the yard, i'm going tomorrow.

Was there today, they had up to 13 tables going.

A list of games they are going to spread tomorrow was mentioned over the PA at the end of the night and put up on the board...

- 1/2 and 2/5 NL
- any limit game up to 10-20 (LHE, HORSE, etc.). DP spreads 3-6, 6-12, and 10-20
- 1/2 PLO
- 1/2 PLO/8
- 5-10 Stud

We'll see what actually goes. Feels like the room will be gangbusters this weekend.

Hey everybody I played 1-2 at Delaware Park with a friend on Tuesday from about 3pm-7pm, the table closest to the cage if anybody was there. After hearing all the complaints about Harrington etc. I was pleasantly surprised by this place.

The dealers, floor, and chip runners were all good and competent - I noticed maybe 1 or 2 minor dealing mistakes the whole time I was there and they were quickly fixed. The floor was quick to resolve issues i.e. a player who missed a blind unsure of when/where to post, a guy who said what sounded like "I call all in" (was ruled a call) and reminding a player who transferred from another table with over $300 (the buyin max) that he could not keep $100 at the new table and attempt to cash out the rest at the cage.

Soon after I was seated (very short wait) they offered me a card, took my id and brought a card back to me soon after and I was swiped in at the table by the dealer. Floor guy was unsure of comp rate - said it was probably 20-40 cents per hour at the time then but would go up when the room is full-time, but then said it's actually based on points and the casino hadn't determined the points:dollars ratio yet.

My friend said his table was 50% or more solid players i.e. reasonable raise sizes preflop, not many calling stations or showdowns. Also someone mentioned that an old white guy with glasses playing at his table was Phil Ivey's grandfather, anyone know what he looks like and can confirm?

Luckily for me, my table was more the typical 1-2 style: mix of tight-passive old dudes and 1-2 women, only 2-3 younger guys who came later, and for a good hour or 2 a super-LAG, a crazy dude who for a while would make it $20 to go about every other hand, including the many times he straddled. Yes, there is a Mississippi Straddle which can be done from any position and the action follows - if cutoff straddles, preflop action starts with the button, then sb, bb, utg, etc around the table back to the straddle who can raise again if he so desires. I didn't see any re-straddling but I think it's allowed, also from any position.

I thought I overheard that this dude was a jockey from Louisiana, so I made a joke about how that explains him winning all the races but no response. No matter, I won a decent-sized pot off him later so that was cool.

I'll leave you with a couple hands of note:

-Typical hand: LAG made it his usual 20, got several calls. He would bet 50 or so on most flops, or raise more than that if someone bet into him. He showed down T9o, KK, 45s. Very entertaining to watch but kind of frustrating since you're mostly just waiting for a hand against him. Thankfully, once he left the average preflop pot size went from $60-80 to about $8-12.

-A middle-aged lady who had recently shown KTo after pushing the turn on a draw-heavy board in a sizable pot got involved in a hand with the jockey and a tight guy to my right. Flop is Th 8c 6h, tight guy bets 35 she calls, jockey puts in 135 tightie calls, she calls. turn blank, jockey all in, tightie folds qq he claims, lady calls off her small remaining stack and shows A5o, loses to T8. A5o on that flop LOLZ!!!!!!

-Old guy makes it 17 UTG, one caller, a young guy new to the table puts out 75 and UTG & the caller both call (no allins). He pushes the flop of 455 and is called by someone who loses to the kid's AA.

-Ive worked my stack up to nearly 400 from my initial $150 buyin. Young kid makes it $7 utg, 1 call, I call sb 66. Flop is Qh 6h 5c. I lead for $11 he minraises, I contemplate a call and turn check-push if it's not a heart, but we both have a lot behind (he has me covered) so I make it $70 and he quickly goes allin so I call and say queens? (As in a set because I have monsters under the bed syndrome sometimes). Luckily he shows Ah Qs. Turn is a Th and I briefly consider which way to kill myself if he hits the flush, but the river bricks so all is well and I leave soon after.

This room has serious potential. It's not huge but very well-run and clean (and as mentioned earlier, bathroom is super close), should be pretty fishy on nights and weekends. I'm slightly closer to Dover/Harrington coming from Annapolis/Glen Burnie MD area and hate paying all those tolls on 895/95 but if they keep up this quality and player volume (not to mention all the other games to possibly be spread) I'll probably end up playing there the majority of the time once all 3 are up and running. Good luck everybody, maybe I'll see some of you later this week!

PS: The Clifford Brown Jazzfest in Wilmington,DE runs til Sunday, big names & FREE shows, so check out some great music while y'all are up there

I dont know about Phil Ivey's dad being there, but 2 of his biggest supporters were there.----Mr and Mrs Humphreys. They live across the bridge in Pennsville.
Roulette, Craps, all open card game tables packed.

Was there last night and the place is very nice.

They announced the list of games they will have Thursday (if players show up who want to play), and it is the list that UGTT posted.

I was told that comps were 40 cents an hour. I don't know if that is permanent.

The room is just a tad noisy with the slot machines outside of the poker room, but there is a row of columns that will have glass put in, so that should make the room very quiet so you focus on poker. Other than that, a very nice room.

Great T/R. Really apprecicate it

According to their facebook page, they will be open at 12am tomorrow. Whether they are still closing tonight at 10pm tonight, I do not know.

Even though it appears they have received their license for table gaming, they are still having the test day today on the table games, from 2PM-10PM, with the maximum wager now $100. I believe they are doing it because they advertised the "test opening" for June 14-17.

Just my guess here, but I would believe they would have the one shift work from 2PM-10PM for the "test opening", shut down for a couple of hours, and then have a new shift come in 12AM. I see this for only the table games. I do not see the poker room shutting down during that two hour period.

Yes, the Humphreys were there on Monday and Wednesday.

Re:straddling/re-straddling. There can only be one Mississippi Straddle in a hand and if multiple people want to do it, preference goes to closest to the dealer.

thanks for the info & trs guys, i plan on being there most of tomorrow afternoon/night. random question, but hows the temperature in there? is it alright or do i have to bring a winter coat like when im heading to the taj?

I'd recommend bringing a jacket of some sort.

It's a little chilly at the front of the room and colder at the back.

Today is going to be the final day of soft opening, from 2pm to 10pm.

The room is going permanent LIVE on Friday at noon.

Yeah I spoke with the manager of the card room last night when I was waiting for my seat for 1/2 NL and he told me about all the games they are going to spread tonight. When I told him that I'd talked to some people about trying to get a 3\6 HORSE game going on Thursdays he asked if I was the guy form 2+2 lol so apparently he is paying attention to this thread. Also when I was leaving he told me that they are going to have a HORSE game going tonight and that he'd had a lot of interest so far form other people not ITT. So I'll be going up there tonight if any of you want to come and try to get a game going. I'm going to be playing 1\2 but I'm going to start the list for HORSE so come by if you're interested.

I'm on my way. Will play 3/6-6/12 HORSE if we can get it going, otherwise 1/2 NL unless the 2/5 game looks really good and I'm feeling frisky.

Let me know if you got it off the ground Coop. I will probably be there Saturday night playing 3/6. 1/2 PLO8 looks very tempting though.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll there tomorrow. Going to play a little 3/6 and 6/12 LHE most likely. Should be there about 3PM until I've had enough.

3/6 LHE at DP, my favorite hand from last night.

I'm UTG and I limp in with QJo. LOL. I know how terribad that is. I *NEVER* do that on-line. But from the table feel, I have a pretty good guess that no one will raise (unless they find AA or KK) and there will be plenty of people in the pot. Yup - 7 see the flop. The flop is JT3.

Very old guy in SB immediately bets $6. Huh? I mention that is a REALLY big bet. Dealer explains that the most he can bet is $3. He seems confused, but eventually takes back $3. I'm putting him on a set, maybe 2 pair, but maybe he is just excited about top pair and I can't lay down top pair myself on a pot this large, so I call, as do 4 others.

Turn is a 7 (no flush draw). Old guy leads out again. I guess I'll call him down with my top pair, althought I'm not happy about it with so many in the pot and my Q kicker, so I call. 3 other calls, and then LP RAISES! Old guy calls. I ...

How much in the pot? 7 $3 bets preflop, 6 $3 bets on flop, so far 7 $6 bets on the turn. That's $81 (-$4 rake) in the pot, and it is $6 to me to call.

I .... FOLD TOP PAIR. To do this correctly, I need to be more than maybe 95% certain that my reads are right. Yeah, with these players I'm that certain. At that table, a turn raise almost always means a MONSTER hand.

Old guy had set of 3's, LP had 89o. There was really NOTHING else they could have.

Played today at DP for a few hours before I had to go to school....

Happy to see they would run a 2/5 game. There was a good mix of solid players and not so solid players. Btw, max but-in for 2/5 is 1000

Overall pretty smooth except for one instance. Two players in the hand, one old guy in position, and a young guy. Decent size pot, young guy leading every street. River bet by the young guy who gets called, young guy mucks as soon as he is called. Old guy says "I called, I want to see his hand", dealer turns it up and we see Q high. Old guy then tries to muck and take the pot. We all told him he needs to turn up his hand to take the pot. He refuses and calls the floor. Floor starts asking if he suspected collusion.....? Then says he doesn't have to show. We all started yapping at that, and he realized that the first hand was turned up and changed his mind. Old guy shows top pair and takes the pot.

I would have thought that whether the mucked hand was turned up or not, the old guy needs to show to claim the pot. How can you have two mucked hands at showdown and have a winner?

Also, confirmed that opening is at noon on Friday.

will be there at 10 pm for a late session. hopefully the room stays pretty packed during the a.m. hours like A.C. does.

if all works out, i think im seriously done with A.C. Dpark is 30 minutes closer for me. screw driving over an hour to play poker in A.C.

I'm stopping by there tomorrow night sometime. Anywhere between 6pm and 3am, I guess. Wow.. a real poker room within 30 minutes of me. I never thought in my lifetime I'd see that.

Where is that "degen" thread again?

I went over to DP last night. They had about 8 1/2 tables going, 5 3/6 limits, 1 2/5 and a 5/10 7 stud game spread. There were interest list for Horse, Omaha, plo with four or five names going. It was still the soft opening and everyone knew they were forced out at 10 PM. I don't think really serious poker players are going over knowing that.

They raked 4 but that goes up tonight with the BBJ. They have two which they will rake 1 buck. The first is aces full of jacks beat which I hear starts at 10K. The split is the normal deal with winner, loser and table. The second starts with quad j's beat and goes down a card each week until it is hit. In that one, when a winner shows, the slit is there between the winner and loser, but the table stake becomes the room stake. So, if it's hit and your seated in the room, you get a share. I'm told that starts at 50K.

I am going over tonight and assume that I hold my own, I want to go back tomorrow during live racing. But, a lot of guys have claimed they'll be there tonight and it might be packed. One other thing, all the players who've had the chance to write up TR have done so, with DP's best dealers on the floor. From here on in, it's who they got spread over 24 hours.

Could'nt get it off the ground last night, interest list got up to around 4 at one point. But I'm optimistic about tonight with it being opening night and everything. Not sure how many players are needed to start the game although I'd hope they'd let us start with 6-7. Hope to see ya up there

Definately would like to get a 10/20 Limit game tonight if anyone is interested PM me.

is there a players card of some sort? and how does that work do you swipe in at the table? cards are at the front desk im assuming?
