Monday mornings they have a $1-$2 , $100 max hold em game. Buy in for $100 when you go broke or you play for two hours they give you $40. Game is terrible usually short handed , usually the rake is the only winner.

Doesn't sound promising. I'm going to be in Bangor visiting family next week. We got a good room rate at the casino, but this definitely isn't encouraging.

How often to stud or limit O8 games run?

Well, I played a lot of 1/3 NL and to be honest, ran like the poker gods owed me big time.

Pleasant, hospitable people and I went home over $800 ahead, easily paid for the hotel with my winnings.

Only downside was busting out of the Wednesday night tournament with AJs on a JJ54x board when i called an all in from J5s.

No complaints, had a great time. Doubt I'll be back any time soon, but you never know.

Been a while since an update...what's the current outlay of NL games on a Sunday evening here? I'll be in town this weekend. Prefer 1/2 or 1/3...

they usually have 1/3 running. I guess Tuesday and Wednesdays are the best time to go? I went 2 weeks ago sunday. Was kind of dead. Only 1 cash game going, eventually I had to stand up and leave because the table wore down to only 4 players (including me).

this last Saturday for a few hours, wasn't bad, 3 out of 4 of the tables were full. All 1/3 games I believe. player pool seems to be pretty soft though.

Bravo Poker. Table management software. Also an accompanying smartphone app so one can tell how many tables and what games are current playing in a poker room.

lol - fair enough. Company puts me up there when I come into town and this will be the first time I'll be interested in actually playing. Figured once I landed I could check Bravo and see what games were going on. Guess not, lol. A phone call to the poker room will have to do.

Also, get boneless wings from Geaghan's pub next door to the casino. Order them with reserve sauce.

Tuesday/Thursday have good traffic all day, as well as the weekends. Monday/Weds are pretty hit or miss and alot of the time the tournament that starts at night and will break the cash game.

They have 4 tables but there are rarely 4 cash tables running. On a Tues there is usually 1 or 2 1/3 games as well as a 2/5 200bb game. Thurs is usually the same except 5/10 250bb instead of 2/5. On the weekends there is usually 3 1/3 tables during peak hours and 2 tables when it's slow.

It really is hit or miss but they will normally start a must move table with 4-6 players so wait times are usually brief.

just spend the weekend there.
Sat game got going short handed about 12pm , by 2 it was full.
by 6pm 3 tables 1-3 and a 2-5 with 1k buyin was full most with 1k up.
Sunday short handed kicked up about 1pm
2 table tourney started at 2 pm
by 6pm 2 tables 1-3 going plus the 2 tbl tourny

no computer system , list is on a paper pad.
great games lots of action.

couple odd rules with no reasoning behind them but no one complains.

UTG straddle can be any amount most was usually $5 but some $10, $18 $12 Etc....Like I said great games!!!!

Other odd rule Last action shows 1st
Ex: you on button bet flop sb calls then checked down, you have to show your hand 1st.HUH?????? must make for some heated exchanges in multiway all-ins and side pots.

I'm moving to the area soon, and I've played here a number of times in the past, but never with any regularity.

Do the 2/5 games still run and what is the player pool like? Is it still a bunch of nitty regulars during the day time? What about tournaments?

Does this place really spread 5/10 NL on Thursday evenings? Would be interested in adding it to a potential Maine trip agenda this summer if so.
