Agreed, now that Rivers' poker room is open there is no reason to ever play poker at Mountaineer again. Rivers is just so much classier.

Plus tons more action at the Rivers

LOL... true... but at least they have Tiffany's across the street

I noticed there haven't been any new posts on this thead in almost two months. Has anyone been to Mountaineer since "Black Friday"? Has there been any change in the amount of traffic in the room?

Why would anyone go here? Unless you live in chester.

There are better casinos the same distance away from most people.

I have put in around 8 sessions since "Black Friday". Haven't noticed an uptick in players. Weekday afternoons have averaged two to four 1/2 tables, and one 2/4 limit game. Weekday nights anywhere from two to six 1/2 tables going. Weekends have been considerably busier!

magesto, thanks for the update. I might come down Friday night, but the Rivers is only a few minutes farther away from me. I love that room now.

Looks like Mountaineer has pretty much cut their tournament schedule back to 3 nights a week.
How long until this place is done?

played the tournament last friday night first time in ages, wasnt a bad structure and *gasp* no chop.

Does Mountaineer still allow begging??

Or did they finally throw out the guy (Fry University Cap) walking around from table to table soliciting money??

I heard Mountaineer now spreads Pineapple. Anyone knows if this game goes often and what stakes?

Mountaineer will soon be moving the Poker Room (yes again). They will be going over by the current high limit area, next to the valet entrance.

This will give them alot more walk in traffic, being so close to the door. It will also help eliminate the smoke and music noise they have now.

Last night the room was about half full of cash games. They got 34 for the $125 tourney.

I have yet to see Pineapple get spread.

Anyone going to tonight's Omaha tourney? I think I'm gonna play it.

The Omaha tournament got 21 runners.

Yeah, I was there...busted first. Made the buy-in back plus a few hundred at 1/2 so it made up for it.

I talked to the Poker Room Manager yesterday, and he said the move to the new location is now scheduled for November.

The Bad Beat Jackpot is over 80k. It was still rolling along as of midnight last night.

Wednesday tournament had 42 players. Only 3 cash tables running, and bad beat is over 90k, so would be a nice hit.

Bad Beat over 103k.

The Poker room is officially moving again on November 14th.

I have not been to mtr in over a year. I hear the poker room traffic is about half what it was a year ago (Obv effected by Rivers).

Is this true or is it business as usually?

I was there two weeks ago on a Wednesday night. They were down to one 1/2 table after about 11:30 p.m. It was slow and the action was almost non-existent.

I was here Friday night, Played 1-2 and made a nice profit. At mt table there were 2-3 semi good players, but that was about it. There were 2-3 HUGE fish at the table.

The room had about 12 tables going all night. I left around 2 A.M.

I made a trip to Mountaineer this past Saturday night. It was my first trip there in over a year and a half. I like the new poker room. While it is much smaller than my last trip, it is now at least near everything.

I arrived with a friend around 6:00 PM and they only had 2 2/4 limit games going and 2 1/2 NL games going with no open seats. We waited around 20 minutes before they started another table which filled up rather quickly.

The play at the table was LOL bad pretty much all night. Players were raising flops with TP2K and willing to stack off. I watched so much money being burned it was sick. I ended up down $130 for the night due mostly due to bad luck from 2 hands. (AIPF w KK vs QQ for $235 and lost. Also AIPF with QQ vs AQs for $145 and lost. Both pots heads up vs the same villain who was a hyper donk that would not fold PF.)

Probably the worst play of the night I saw was a player stacking off for $430 with the 9s on a JsTsKs3hQs board. There was $40 in pot prior to the river. The player with the 9s bet $10 OOP on the river into a heads up pot. His villain responded by snap shoving all in for well over $500 into a $50 pot covering Mr. 9s. He thought for about 15 seconds and called. "I can't fold a straight flush" he said watching his $430 stack being pushed to villain. The other player obv had the As.

By the end of the night the poker room was full with close to 12 1/2 NL tables going. The dealer told me that the action is like that pretty much every Saturday night. I guess I will have to make a return trip in the near future.

Ok, here is my review of the new Poker room.


Postivies++++
(1)tables are spaced out very nice.
(2)better lighting.
(3)much less noise.
(4)the high rollers wander in to dump, and chase thier money.
(5)restroom very close, and lots of stalls.
(6)drink service is right in the room.

Negatives-----
(1)the cage is a nice long wait.
(2)only 14 tables, so not sure about tournaments.



They had 11 of 14 tables running friday night.
one....2/5NL
two....2/4limit
eight....1/2NL

Mountaineer reg here..anyone that wants to know anything about it let me know
