Texas Hold Em at CGE?

[boatofcar]

Anybody plan on playing some Texas Hold Em after CGE? What are the good casinos for it?

[MachineGex]

If we get a game going or just grab a table at a casino, count me in. I love playing, but never get a chance. Lets plan on a game, we could have an annual touney.

Depending on the cash flow, I may be able to play. The Riviera has a poker room it seems:

I've actually done a little research on this (checked a few reviews and all), and personally I'll sit at the Riviera's room early on... but from the reviews I've read I can't recommend it. A lot of complaints about the dealers, and it appears the room is just a roped-off part of the casino.

I'm hoping to get some time at the Treasure Island rooms, they're supposed to be beautiful with good dealers, good customer service and a nice, off-the-casino room. But as for Thursday night I'll probably just sit down at the R, so if anyone would like to sit with a CGE d00d I'll be there.

We should set up a little "home-game" in one of our hotel rooms one night with a few guys/girl's. You know, something friendly. I'd be down like a clown for that.

Well, the World Poker Tour (WPT) got started at the Bellagio and Binion's was the birthplace and home to the World Series of Poker (though I think it's now played at the Rio), so those'd be a good place to start for "official" poker rooms. But I'd much rather sit down with a deck of cards and a stack of chips in a smaller "private" setting too.

The Aladdin used to have a good poker room. Now that its Planet Hollywood, I am not so sure. Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and Wynn all have nice Poker Rooms, but of course the buy-ins are probably going to be a little higher. Anyone try MGM, Bally's or Paris?

The problem with getting a game going in the room is you'll need a local to bring some chips, or someone will have to buy some at a local Walmart or whatever.

I'm in for a game at the Riveria. I'd say you get 10 DP members and start your own table.

I like this idea too.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Cool. Who else is in?

[RetroYoungen]

I'd be so in. If I had more space in my room I'd offer my temporary pad, but hell... it might be enough space. I'd need a table though.

Typically the no-limit buy-ins in casinos are about a hundred dollars, blinds 1/2 (the minimum buy-in is $100, max is $200), and we can play that way if everyone's up for it (if anyone wants it in a card room). Can't say for every room, but from what I've experienced that seems to be the norm. But for a smaller game, say twenty bucks each, I'd be up for that, most definately. Just friendly with friends. Right on. :-)

[Sniderman]

I have a travel poker set (cards, chips, etc.) that I'd be happy to bring out for the occasion. In fact, how about getting it started at the DP Saturday Afterparty?

[Mayhem]

Might be an idea, definitely interested in a game at some point

[MachineGex]

Count me in, money to burn

[WizDawg]

I'd be interested in playing a game at some point.

[esquire]

Count me in whether its at a table or a private game.

[Flack]

I'm in!

[dave2236]

I'll play, either at a table or in a hotel room.

[Dan Iacovelli]

if I have money to burn I'll prob join too,Iused play online at pokerstars.net

[RetroYoungen]

I think we've got enough to have ourselves a helluva game.

[esquire]

So who wants to take charge and organze this? Perhaps we can meet at the DP table at a specific time.

Right now we have 12 players:

It sounds like a couple of you guys are "probables" and someone may not show. I think the limit at a table in the casino is 10, but I could be wrong. Anyone know?
