The rake situation is still being reviewed. It looks like we will be going to a time drop for 5-10 NL and looking at the 10-20 and 20-40 HO rake schedule.

Yes, on 1-3NL. 3-6FL is $4.50+1. I think 6-12 O8 is $5.50 with no BBJ drop, but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure 1-3 is 5.50 max plus $1.00 for high high hand. 2/5 is $5.50 max no high hand. not sure about limit

On Saturday Nov 24th @10am is the $235 Fat Stack, 10,000 chips and 40 min levels. Usually 90+ players. On Sunday Nov 25 there is a $45 NL @ 10am and 2pm. 3,500 chips and 20 min levels. The 10am usually has 100+ players and the 2pm around 80+.

It should be on the website soon. Still waiting Iowa Gaming approval. The plan now is to have a $235 Re-Entry NLH with Flight A on Dec 26th and Flight B on Dec 27th. Day 2 will be Dec 28. We will have a $130 satellite on Dec 28th. We will have a $560 Re-Entry NLH on Dec 29th with Flight A at 10am and Flight B at 6pm. Day 2 will be Dec 30.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

The 10-20 Limit Hold'em with a 5% and $4 Max rake was great on Saturday. Horseshoe had 2 games by 11:30am.

Due to the feedback from the players, Horseshoe will spread the 10-20 Hold'em every Wednesday and Saturday! It will always be a $4 max!

Andy,

Is the 10/20 LHE 5%/$4 max game on Wednesdays and Fridays still happening regularly?

Do you anticipate this game will still run on Day 1 of the HHPC? (Saturday, Dec 29th)

Thanks!

The 10-20 limit hold'em is running every Saturday. It usually starts between 9-10am. It still should run on Dec 29. A few players might play the tournament first, then play 10-20 later, but I dont see why that would stop it from starting early!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Any idea if there is a special poker room rate on hotels or any other hotel specials? I am around 3 hours away and want to get a good deal on a room for a night or two.

We are working on getting a 20% off poker player rate during Dec 26-30. If that does not go through you can always call with your Total Rewards number and usually get a good deal.

Has there been any discussion as to bringing back the BB jackpot, or lowering the rakes? Also, I've noticed some people who were "Perma-banned" seem to be roaming around causing disturbances again. Just last time I played (2/5NL) I was threatened by one of them for re-raising with AK...

In addition to the $4 max on the 10-20 hold'em and larger, we are looking into changing the rake on the NL games as well.

If you have any disturbances from players let me know and I will handle it.

Thanks
