Horseshoe Hammond (Hammond, IN) - Page 316 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Brandon Shack-Harris was playing the Mix game last night. It was funny to see people at his table completely oblivious to who he was despite having his picture was on the wall behind them.

How is that 50/100 mix game? What is in the rotation? I see its been running a lot lately on bravo.

Every time I look at it though its the same regs trading money back and forth.

I have a hard time believing anyone playing 50-100 at the Shoe doesn't know exactly who he is. That's akin to playing high stakes stud in the Bellagio with Todd Brunson and being oblivious to who he is.

DISCLAIMER: I don't play high stakes anything, so, what do I really know?

I don't play anything high stakes either, but from a psychology/table image perspective wouldn't it be better to be nonchalant about sitting at the table with a player like that?

Not to mention BSH is probably also the most unassuming guy in the poker room any time he's there...

I wasn't at the table, everyone at my table/surrounding tables had no idea who he was and that there was a giant photo of his face right next to him, that's what I meant. I know I typed his table, but as everyone pointed out they just looked/were apathetic. Jesus you guys are quick on the whip, serves me right for being an internet fanboy :P

The main reason I dislike Chicago winters is that the faucets in horseshoe restrooms discharge at a constant 33°F for six months straight.

I have a similar question that isn't timeslot specific. (and if it is, it is more about weekends/evenings)

I haven't been to the Shoe in a few years. For those of you who have played in a number of areas, how would you describe the average 1/2 game in Hammond? Is it basically the same as everywhere else?

Can anyone give an update on the top 100 hours list that should be released today (2/19/15). Maybe snap a picture or give the hours of 50th/75th/100th place.

Just wondering where I stand and if I have to live there for the next week...
Thanks

Once I get the tax return, maybe I'll finally get the balls to hit a live table again and see for myself.

I am considering taking a shot tonight (Friday) in the 5/10 NL game. Is it a pretty tough game?

5/10 games at the show are routinely fantastic on Friday nights. Get there soon though because they'll have 2 tables and a list. I'll be there my name is Fred if you get a chance say hi.

Definitely NL. The big plo here has a lot of sharks in it.

Ok, tax return in, and turned into crisp 20s to bring to the Shoe tonight for the first time in a couple years. Around what time does it start getting busy/hard to get a seat at 1/2?
