Basically. Although a lot of the old timers are still staying away due to not liking 6 handed play and probably because of virus concerns. I went back today and several people who were there yesterday didn’t show up today. And these are people who play pretty much daily. Because of this it took longer for the first 3/6 game to start. It finally started around 9am while the first 1/2 NL game started about an hour or so afterwards. That game was filled with faces I wasn’t familiar with, so probably Hollywood players.
I personally enjoy 6 handed play. Unfortunately I ran like crap these last two days but that’s the story of my poker life! The rake is oppressive though.
Hey Greg!
Thanks. I know several Greg’s who frequent Ameristar. I’ll have to introduce myself formally once I get back to playing live. Thanks. Joe.
Glad poker is back but raising the rake when you are only allowing 6 player max feels kind of a gross thing to do. I do like the no chopping allowed thou.
Today at 6pm Hollywood opens their poker room. The tables have plexiglass dividers and will seat 7 players. I went to look at them earlier today and it sure doesn’t look like you’ll have much room to yourself. Kinda like how it is when the table is 9-10 handed. Max number of tables will be 10. Unsure about rake but I bet it will be the same as ameristar, $5. Hours are the same as ameristar.
Play the $2/3 instead. $100 min, $500 max. Can match up to 75% of big stack after table is open for an hour. This game needs to replace the normal $1/2 and $1/3 games in town.
Ameristar needs to get rid of that $3/6 game. This afternoon they only had 5 dealers and two games were devoted to $3/6. How can you win money playing 6 handed $3/6? Bump the limit game up to $8/16. Force the nits to invade Hollywood.

You had a typo. First sentence should read “America needs to get rid of that $3/6 game.”

Love the 75% rule, I've asked poker room managers about it many times. They always said "Nobody wants it, people don't wanna play all day long build a stack, have a new player sit down and bust them [after stack matching]"
Saw on Bravo 14 games running last Friday between Hollywood and Ameristar. Anyone have a trip report? I feel like I’m getting close to coming back live.
Ameristar is now 8 handed as of yesterday. As just a rec. limit player I really liked the 6max tables. It’s what I used to play during the online days. But I know I was probably the only one who felt that way. It was fun while it lasted!
Hollywood - currently open, 7 handed. Plexiglass dividers. I am hearing the casino is shutting down on Tuesday because STL County is going to 25% capacity restrictions.
Ameristar - 7 handed tables, no dividers between seats.
