they started doing tournaments Tues, Wed, Thurs, and I think Saturday. High hand jackpots several nights, and occasional splash pots.

I believe it is 50-200 for 1/2; but I'm not entirely sure . I played there this summer a couple of times and remember thinking that the 1/2 had a low min buy in and the 2/5 had a higher min buy in than usual (200min/500max maybe)

Is there any action at all during the weekday days?

Also can we start referring to Harrington as "The Dan" from now on?

Usually 2-4 tables on a weeknight, weekends see's 4-7 cash tables on average, never been on a weekday...but I think theres 1 or 2 going. 99% of the time its 1/2, every blue moon there will be a 2/5 going on

Max buy in is 300

Update : Rolled into Harrington right at 11AM on a rainy Wednesday morning. No games going when I got there but a couple other guys arrived just as I did and they called the 1/2 nlhe game while I was at the cage. Max buy-in is $300. I bought in for $200 and was "big stack" starting out along with one other player. Several players bought in for less than $100 (min. is $60) Only short handed for a couple of hands.

Play was pretty passive/loose and I seemed to be the only one interested in betting pre. A second table opened wihtin a half hour and by 1:00pm there wer 3 tables, all 1/2, maintaining varied states of fullness (7-10 habded). Mostly locals and a couple of internet types. Only played until 3pm, but pretty good action except for the three times I picked up pocket kings, raised to $10-$12 pre flop and got no callers (but 3-4 callers many other times).

While cashing out I asked the cage if this was a typical weekday crowd and she said it was actually a little heavier than normal due to the rain. I did hear several comments from players a bout not being able to work because of the rain. Over all nothing spectacular but better than I was expecting for a mid day weekday.

That is all.

Pretty much all 1/2 and highly unlikely that you will find a 2/5 game at any time

Do the games go all night during the week or what time do they usually die out. How many tables are usually going on weeknights? Any 2-5 games?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply pG2,
Was hoping to hear that the room has picked up a little on weekends.....I recall Friday and Sat never really getting more than 3-4 tables going at most.

Volume is poor but so is the play . Most of the regs are godawful weak passive.

Are poker dealers still pooling tips, or do they get to keep their own?

I can't speak for the horse racing so I got nothin for that since I know nothing about horse racing.

Weekends you can find up to 5 tables going! Weekdays, we've gotten up to 3 tables. We don't close the room at 4am anymore as long as a game is going so you don't have to worry about being stuck and you gotta go. We have a great staff and very good dealers to pitch you cards and push you pots. No Mistakes, fast dealers. yes I am one of them

All I'm saying is come out and check us out if you haven't been in the past three months. The room is only getting better and the turn outs are showing it.
Any chance since Bravo isn't used more information could be posted on the website? Harrington is the closest place to play for us down in in southern Maryland. The poker room is not promoted very well.

If anything, check in here, I usually post how the games are when I get to work. I do only work swing shift, and usually get there at 8pm till, but I think I'll start calling in during the day to see how the games are going and post it in here as well.

Like I mentioned before, the room is going through some great changes and can only get better from here, so the more feedback I can get to relay to my supervisors, I can try and help make these things happen!
For me personally, I feel one the more important things is having a live report (Bravo) so you know what is going on. Dover and Harrington seem to be the only rooms around that do not do this. Regular updates on the BBJ are nice as well

How is this room/how many 1-2 tables run typically on the weekend? Was going to play here or Dover Downs on a upcoming Sat aft/evening and was wondering which might be better.

I haven't been to Harrington for awhile, but last time I was there they had 2 or 3 1-2 tables running on a Saturday during the day, and 4 or 5 at night. Dover will likely be a bit busier but I've never played there.
