If so get rid of that BBJ. It's going to hard to beat the rake.
The dealer is wrong. Pocono Downs is $4. I think someone said no BBJ too, but I can't confirm that part.
By the way, as for the dealer problems - I think the main problem in PA is that dealers aren't allowed to play. So, anyone who enjoys playing poker would never become a dealer here. You end up with people dealing who don't know the game because they don't play it. Compare this to Vegas where the dealers are usually playing on their breaks. It's not uncommon at Bellagio to have the guy who just dealt you 30 minutes ago now sitting next to you as your opponent for 20 minutes during his break. That's why they get great dealers there.
Anyway, I'll be giving Chester a stab this weekend. I hope they have a $10-20 or higher LHE game going...
