If I thought there was a better than 50/50 shot to play O8 tomorrow, I'll make the drive over to the shoe...
ZSmarty, that 5/10 game, was that with a kill?

I heard that no matter what no limit game you played all you earned was $1 an hour here.. is that the case.... Do you earn tier credits for your poker play

Hey all, a friend wanted me to post and ask where the best places to stay are? He'll be in town Saturday for sure and was thinking about staying Sunday and possibly Monday. Looking for a place that's close and relatively cheap. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The Shoe simply has no room for a hotel.

That's not neccesarily true. At one time there were rumors to buy Phil Schmidt's and put the hotel there. I would think that once Harrahs has their debt in order and the economy picks up there will be a hotel. Just my 2 cents.

What is Phil Schmidts?
Is it worth any interest/? Like a nice seafood place, or a boat rental maybe?

Phil Smidt's was a seafood restaurant not far from the shoe. It was a southside institution for fried perch and frog legs. Sadly they went out of business some time back

Use a search engine and you will discover, Harrah's Hammond may be the most profitable joint in Harrah's operations. There is no hotel, because the place is TWO CITY BLOCKS, outside Chicago's city limit. The place is almost inside Chicago, and the primary customer base, sleeps at home. Not to mention, a couple million people, who live nearby in NW Indiana and Michigan.
