Horseshoe Baltimore (Baltimore, MD) -- FAQ in OP, added 2014.09.09 - Page 127 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I just wanted to say I really love this room.

I visited last year and played at live and MGM and this room was my favorite for sure.

I hope The people of maryaldn know how lucky they are to have option to play poker during this time.

My room is CLE has been closed for almost a year and this room made me feel at home.

Horseshoe ended 2020 with December revenues dropping 32 percent from the previous December,according to Maryland’s Lottery and Gaming Control Agency.

Baltimore’s only casino, Horseshoe continues to suffer far greater revenue hits than its competitors, even though they are bound by the same capacity and social-distancing restrictions.

i am still shocked Horseshoe hasn't closed or been sold off yet

bravo says Horseshoe is Now offering 2/3 NLH- buy in is $200-$500.

i guess they are trying to differentiate themselves from md live.
yet bravo says the games are still 1/3 nlh (100-300).

1) are they going to force 2/3 as the only low stakes nlh offering?
2) or is 2/3 nlh to replace 2/5 nlh which never runs anymore here?

You will never get a real answer, however, read between the lines.

They have listed April and may promotions on bravo. And tournaments starting later in April. And why go through the charade if they're going to just close the room? Makes no sense.

Taking 5 days to deep clean a room makes no sense either. Unless they're remodeling. Who knows. No one said the people at horseshoe baltimore make logical decisions

Maybe they take down the cashier section and put in a few more tables. I doubt they'll ever bring that back

Oooo I'd like that. Live is building what looks like a killer sportsbook bar area. Obviously horseshoe can't do anything like that. But being able to place some bets at a kiosk would be nice at a minimum

They still had a manager in place at the time, and regardless why wouldn't you ATLEAST clean the place, poker coming back or not?

I just spoke with the new Director at the Shoe. I am trying to get a 10/20 Big O on Saturday at 5pm.

Why Big O? Live has a pretty solid Big O game going almost daily. Before covid, Horseshoe had a good weekly 10/20 mixed game (HORSE + omaha hi + big O) every Monday. That would be a great game that's different than what Live has.

just my 2c

I haven't been here in a few months. What does the eating options look like at the moment? Once the pizza place went 2x comp, I didn't like any of the food options here, and affected how often I visited. I'm afraid nothing much has changed.
