Parx Casino (Bensalem, PA) -- FAQ in OP - Page 12 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I agree that that would be a great LHE "ladder." Pink-chip 7.5/15 and redbird 15/30 would both be goood structures and having 3/6 or even 4/8 as the lowest limit strikes me as being a great idea to produce a good pool of continuous fish at the lowest level and not having that lowest level be an enormous jump between 2/4 and 10/20.

Agree. I also brought this topic up a few days ago. 2/4 should not be the lowest limit game. Parx should try 3/6 or 4/8.

Maybe this lineup would be good to get things started ?

1/2, 2/5, 5/10 NLHE
3/6, 6/12, 15/30, 30/60 LHE
2-10 7CS
5/10 O8
1/2 PLO

on the issue of smoking, i have heard that the poker rooms themselves are nonsmoking, but it really doesn't matter because all you have to do is step 3 inches off the poker floor and you can smoke. the room, in turn, will be smoke filled, or at least partially.

And FWIW I ask because I happen to be particularly sensitive to smoke, not just a life nit.

Of course people care I remember the smoking tables sitting between 2 smokers one lighting up another while he still has one smoldering in the ashtray.Remember the old WSOP clip of action Dan taking action with his personal fan against the chain smoker.

I know they don't have poker yet, but anyone been here today? I heard they have numerous other casino style table games and curios what the experience there is like.

I was pretty frustrated PARX didn't apply for poker initially but judging from the complaints about the long waits lists and lack of tables, PARX might have made the best decision to see how the demand is for poker in SEPA. Hopefully, they have big plans for the room. I heard it would be on the top floor of the horse betting facility.

Parx does not have poker now. October at earliest.
Harrahs Chester is the closest other room followed by Delaware Park.

Someone told me they plan on spreading 4/8 and 8/16 Venetian style. Anyone else hear this?

There is no provision in the PA gaming statute for $2 chips, aside from chips designated specially for the rake IIRC.

Hopefully "Parx Poker" will keep us up to date on progress and plans.

I am copy pasting this from another thread, this would be the best course of action as it would stop all the doubt people have about the Parx identity. Believe you get a custom tag under your name declaring you as the actual voice of the card room.

Ari has contacted us, so I will be working with him to get this resolved.
