Parx Casino (Bensalem, PA) -- FAQ in OP - Page 444 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Not a short wait I would guess. All 48 tables have been full since this morning, with 50-200+ people on the 1-2, 1-3, and 2-5 lists all day long (and sometime this afternoon they just cleared out all the other game lists, because there's no chance of any of them getting called until 1am tonight when the promo ends).

But I'm not there so can't say for sure, maybe lots of people wait 5 minutes then leave so the lists churn quickly. But the 1.5 hours chris mentioned seems about right to me.

I was there today. Not now. Name on the list at 9:45 and Got seated at 12:30. I left around 4:30. There was still over 100 on the 1/2 list. It was very unorganized when it started. They didn't have enough dealers to start. A bunch of empty tables but no dealers in the morning

Hi, researching this casino for tournaments--from looking at their schedule, it seems like they run lower stakes ones, with the highest being $250 or so--do they periodically run series with higher buyins? Or more generally, do they ever run higher stuff? Thanks

Quick casino-specific rules question: when 2 players make it to showdown, which player has to show his hole cards first? In AC its the player that was last to bet, in some other casinos its the player that was last to act, or even something to do with proximity to button. TIA.

I'm not sure about Parx in particular, but around this region the standard rule is generally last aggressor. If there is no action on the river, first to act is supposed to show first.

At Borgata, the last aggressor goes first, even if the aggressor was on a previous street and the river checked around.

Most other locales use the Parx rule (by position) in my experience. This includes Vegas and California. But there are certainly other non-AC rooms that go by last aggressor as well. I think Foxwoods does it this way. Not sure what Sugarhouse and Chester do. Also not sure what FL and midwest rooms do generally.

because people are generally very bad at poker, rarely know where they're at compared to their opponents and don't want to look foolish - especially if they're a reg
