Wind Creek Bethlehem (formerly Sands Casino·Resort) (Bethlehem, PA) - Page 93 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

FWIW, I spoke to the cardroom manager other day and he informed me that they had a live game system up at their website they were working on. I went on today to pasands.com and saw they now have up a live game report. He knew the players wanted this and acted to get it going, very well done. Management is truly in the players' best interest at this place and I will continue to frequent playing here. Was up to the MA last week on Wed. with a friend that was bugging me to go, there was 2 NLHE games going all day. 2 NLHE 1/2 and 1 2/4 limit at peek time on a weekday, what a joke that place was. Went back to the Sands on Th., ahhhh what a difference.

Any talk about Sands possibly budging on spreading PLO?

The fact that it's real time is something that puts it ahead of just about every casino I've seen.

Taj updates hourly, maybe and it's basically unreadable
Borgata's FIRST update is about 2:40pm.. how the heck does it help to not see the game list till 2:40pm? Plus it updates only 2 hours... totally unhelpful.

Sparingly it seems. The current LIVE report shows 12 on the interest list and they aren't (yet) opening up the game. Maybe Thurs-eve and Fri-Sun..

Can anyone tell me if there's still construction delays between the NJ border and the Sands exit on Rt 78?

Also, are any roads still affected by this past weekend's storm?

Thanks in advance!

10/25 NLHE used to be somewhat regular for Wed. One Wed. night I was there they had 2 10/25 NLHE games running at same time. Have only ever seen the game go on a Wed. night now that i think about it. I think the buy in is like 1000 - 4000 but could be wrong.

O8 went last night from about 8PM to 1AM. We played a 10/20 game and I think the stakes may of scared of some players. Game played full for about 2-3 hours and then short-handed until game broke. Would anyone on here have interest in getting together a HOSE game or OE? Floor did say they would run it, they would just change the placard with each dealer change. Post or PM me if anyone has interest, would like to get one going there sometime soon.

Borgata now updates online every hour. What is interesting is that for such a renowned east coast poker room, when comparing it to the Sands.

1-2NL: Borg (5), Sands (5)
2-5NL: Borg (4), Sands (1)
5-5 NL: Borg (0), Sands (1)
5-10 NL: Borg (1), Sands (0)
2-4/3-6 Lmt: Borg (1), Sands (1)

Borg also has 1 table of 20-40 limit and $50-100 mixed.

Clearly it shows the 1-2nl game availability is on par with the Borgata, but the 2-5nl player pool does need to grow, as I often see just 1 or 2 tables going at the Sands.

For higher limit games and mixed, you prob still have to go to AC.

Have to check it back out by 2pm

+1. i don't know pancake house but i assume it's like a nice ihop. waffle house is short order cooks for breakfast food. everything is ridiculously cheap, made fast, made with a ton of grease and delicious. it's great!
