It's not that big of a deal either way. I play tons of hours and hear a request for the pot to be spread maybe 10 times in a year tops.

They really do this because of the off chance that some dealer is willing to risk his livlihood & consistent income to steal a red chip or two?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

It's happened before and there's an option that doesn't give them the opportunity, so why give them the opportunity?

Played here Friday night From 1am - 5am. Seemed like a good room overall. The floor did a great job of breaking games and finding a home for everyone.

Had a small issue with two players not speaking English to one another while in pots together. The dealer advised the 3 of us who had a problem with it to address it with the floor. The table broke soon after.

Overall I like the room and love the idea of the snack bar in there.

I heard there's a 1/2/5 PLO game that runs sometimes. That true? Anyone play any PLO at SH?

Download the Bravo app. You can see what's running at any given time. I've seen 1/2 And 2/5 PLO run but never a 1/2/5.

Lol 2 tables of 10/25nl running. Is this place attracting that many whales?

1/2 PLO at Harrah's has a $5 bring-in. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of? Not sure if the same rules apply at SH.

I saw this on bravo last night and almost got in my car to check it out! Not even to play just to see what the game was like and who was playing in it

Monday is the high stakes night at Sugarhouse

I have seen 1/2/5 PLO run but it's just 1/2 PLO with a mandatory 5 bring in

The 1-2 PLO was running nearly every day b/c a few players pushed it.... Some days it had a $5 bring, others it was plain one-2. It has been running less and less of late.

If a list gets started the game goes very often, the key is starting a list and having the floor announce the game and promo the games once it's running.

The 5-10 goes monday for sure, and usually wednesday and friday..... it rarely goes any other days then that. It may pop up on an odd thursday, but Saturdays are VERY slow at Sugar House in comparison to the rest of the week.

The "fun" players will break out a Baggie and start rolling... Then spreading the pot in a counter clockwise motion...

Has anybody seen the $10/$25 game in action? What is the play like? I am not rolled to play it weekly but would consider taking a shot every now and then

Making some assumptions based on the 5/10 player pool but it's probably a mix of 10/10 PARX regs, some 2/5 and 5/10 regs from Harrahs/Sugarhouse, and 1-2 whales.

Let us not forget, Sugarhouse is the ONLY casino in Pennsylvania where smoking a joint outside brings a maximum $100 on the spot ticket. Possession is only $25. +EV

Real high stakes coming to SH in April.

Poker Night in America to film at the casino April 26-28. Phil Hellmuth Jr. will be there. There will also be one night of a ladies only table.

Wonder if they will film this in the tent or somewhere in the main casino?

Is there somewhere to check a bag here? I'll probably be traveling to Philly next week and might have a duffel bag on me when I'd want to play.

There isn't in the room itself. I doubt there's one in the main casino either because there's no hotel. Maybe they'd hold it for you at the security desk.

I'd suggest calling.

I am a Parx reg. Whenever Sugarhouse is brought up someone brings up the lack of security when leaving the casino. I have never been for this reason alone. Our my fears ridiculous or is there merit to some of the stories I am hearing?

What's the parking situation like? is the path from the cage to your car a safe journey?

Thank in advance
