-If coming from out of town it looks like the property itself doesnt have a hotel. Which would you recommend in the area? Do they do any sort of deals with the hotels or nah? Walkable to Rivers?
-I take it one would fly into O'hare and then take an uber? Anyone know roughly what this rate would be? Once at a hotel near the property would you need a car for anything if you were solely going to be playing poker, eating, and sleeping?
-Restaurant recs either on property or in the immediate area? Late night options exist?
-Have they figured out what they need staffing wise to operate at max efficiency or do you often find yourself waiting for long time on lists?
-Any random days during the week that are known for being the day game HSPLO or mixed or anything out of the ordinary schedule of busy thurs-sat night and kinda sunday. Then slowish mon-wed?
-Ive seen some posts about their drop. Is it really 8+2?!?!? Do they do time rake on any plo or nl games and if so what amount?
-Are higher stakes games 8 handed or 9?
not sure
Thanks!!! I'm a blaster so dont worry I will definitely be adding money to the local pool
Absolutely it is the nut room in Chicago area
Not sure why someone need to travel to other room or charity the games are run nonstop
No hotel on the property but you have Hyatt across the street , Courtyard by Marriott ,and Hilton Garden Inn on the north side of the property walkable , and many more on 5-10 minutes rides on Uber or Taxi,
You don't need a car
Decent restaurants on the property , a good steak house , a food court they are open late
Yes waiting times are decent , I see somedays during the week with open seats , in general 30 minutes or less waiting time excluding weekends
HSPLO and mixed games are played but they are private not sure how you can get in them but once in the room talk with the management or the people in the game.
1-3, 2-5 , is 5+1, 5-10 and higher is 7$/per half hour
