Poker Road Trips

Automated games dealt by PokerPro computerized tables are probably the wave of the future in poker rooms and right now they are the mainstay of the poker room at Four Winds in Michigan.

I havn’t played there but I ran across a recent trip report at rec.gambling.poker

I arrived at the casino, signed up for a players card and headed to the
poker room.  The staff working the poker room was very friendly and took
the time to explain how to use the PokerPro tables and deposit cash on the
players card.  To sign up for a game, they have a touch screen monitor the
players use to register for any of the games being offered.  On Saturday
evening they had six .50/1.00 100 max, three 1.00/2.00 and two 5.00/10.00
NL tables going.  They were also offering a $100 SNG but only a few people
had signed up for it.  I chose the .50/1.00 table as that was the only

table that had immediate seating.

They’ve opened a buffet at Paradise Casino near Red Rock, Ok, between Ponca City and Stillwater.

That means the snack bar with the $1 hotdogs and $2 hamburgers and BBQ sandwiches is gone.

They stioll sell hot dogs at the bar but they are $2 now and they don’t have the fresh chopped onion for garnish anymore, just those plastic packs of relish.

The buffet is $10 and I didn’t eat but looking in didn’t show much of a selection.  The buffet is cheaper at lunch, but the poker games don’t start until evening.

Durant is just north of the Red River, on hiway US75.

It’s a fairly large room, no smoking, enclosed in glass, with another enclosed room inside for “big” games.  They used to have a regular 2/5 NL game that went in that room but it didn’t go on any of the days during my recent trip although they did have a list for it.

It seems to have pretty much turned into a 1/2 NL room.  They used to spread a 3/6 limit game also but that game seems to have dried up.  The 1/2 game is a capped buyin game ($40-$300).  It might be $200, I actually don’t remember.
