Cheers Uber:ok Do they have the blinds, chip stacks etc on a board or something? Is there a clock you can see for when the blinds go up? I don't know how many are going to be there. I have been playing in a pub league and told I had qualified for this:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Re: First game in a casino Hi Dico, Thats my local card room. I don't think I'll be playing though. The Circus is a decent card room. It's set apart from the rest of the casino and all of the tournament 'directing' is done by computer. There are 2 large monitors that clearly show how long is left in each level and there is normally dealers as well. Have fun. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daftpegasus Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Re: First game in a casino I've played there a couple of times and it's a very good setup. Each time I've played the casino has provided dealers making it very easy for us players. All the information you need is available on screens (although I recall confusion once when there were two different games going on) but all the players are very friendly and will happiliy answer your questions if you have any. Have a great time and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dico Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Re: First game in a casino Well I had an excellent time apart from the terrible beer they have on tap - fosters and 1664:sad Had to drink bottles so got quite pricey:cry Anyway the poker - I came 23rd out of 130 but was devasted as I went out with pocket aces. He had KK and hit a K on the river. If I had won that it would have put me in 1st or 2nd:wall:wall Ah well that's life:lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
