I had to clear 3 beer bottles from under my spot before I could take my seat.

Unfortunately, I lost count of how many times I was dealt 92 & 82 so I practiced my folding skills for 4 hours after the two-outer. My opponents ranged from short stack fish playing with $100 to a couple of OMCs only playing the nuts. One of the dealers stated they don't do setups as they are destroyed every 10 days in rotation & replaced with new decks.Ĭocktail waitresses were coming by the table more frequently than any place I've been. The cage did get backed up several times throughout the night having only 2 people running it but my wait was less than 10mins.Ĭhips are decently clean & I'm able to shuffle them unlike Hollywood's slick coating.Ĭards also felt better quality. It's the first room I've seen that has the table numbers overhead making it very easy to find my seat. Levels above Hollywood.Īs previous poster said, chairs are comfortable & plenty of space between tables.

I did notice there were 20+ waiting for PLO until about 2am.ĭealers are very competent, friendly & efficient. I'll be interested to see how fast the list moves this coming Thanksgiving weekend. I showed up around midnight on Sat night so there was no wait list for 1/3. Of course 5 hands later he donks off his stack into jacks full to someone else then leaves.

My only playable hand in 4 hours was my 3rd hand at the table, my AA got two-outered by a maniac that kept screaming in Arabic & had pushed in $400 blind twice.įloor had to come over a couple of times to tell him to stop screaming. I went to Hollywood in Aurora first because its a tad closer & have to say Rivers stomps them in every category. I'm new to the Chicago area but have played in places like Blackhawk CO, Jax FL, Vegas, Indiana & South Korea.
