Now if only I could afford to play.
I checked it out yesterday (Monday). They had a 1/2 NL ($300 max buy-in) game going at 10:30am when I got there; when I left 11 hours later they had three 1/2 NL games going plus a limit game going (4/8 with kill, I believe). Twelve tables in all, nice room. A real mix of dealers; some obviously experienced with a handle on the game, others less so (but all friendly). Friendly and experienced floor staff (at least one of the floor has many years experience at another local casino).
Action varied thru out the day, with table alternating between really good (a couple of terrible calling stations and terrible bluffers mixed in with a bunch of so-so players) and really bad (tight, nitty, no easy money).
Only real complaints are (a) needs more stalls in nearby washroom (was full up every single time I attempted to go, I ended up hoofing it all the way downstairs both times) and (b) slowest cage ever (once took 15 minutes for one person at table to get chips, and took me about 10 minutes to cash out; you'd think with 4 people working in the cage and a long line up they'd open up another wicket, especially when one person is dealing with some crazy coin exchange request, but no, you'd be wrong).
Probably won't play there again, but only because I have to cross a bridge / maneuver the Hwy#1 mess to get there.
