New MN poker room, miles from Twin Cities

Posted Thu Sep 01, 2005 2:10 pm GMT by Dave B
Treasure Island will open a poker room very soon. For those of you not familiar w/ MN poker, everywhere is a little goofy. Let me explain:

Canterbury: great poker action, no hotel, if you want to play BJ, $.50 fee/hand, tournaments are big and well run, NL only $220 and up, 20 minutes for Cities

Hinkley: horrible action, 3-4 tables for about 16 hours/day, 5/10 limit max and rarely over 2-10 spread, hotel, booze, slots and poker, 60-90 minutes for Twin Cities

Mille Lacs: see Hinkley

Treasure Island: action-who knows, booze, blackjack, hotel, 40 minutes for Cities, maybe lower buyin tournaments? If they do it right, this place could have it all. I would rather pay my rake to a public corporation(Canterbury -ECP), but the Native Americans can have a piece if they make it a great room.

i understand MN has no NL action.

hope the indians use the money wisely.

NL tournaments, no NL ring games. They do have 2/60 spread...close enough?

Current law says that the biggest bet can be $60, so 30/60 is max limit for limit ring games.

I dont know if the Indians HAVE to follow those rules, or if they CHOOSE to.

Do any of you that play live NL games worry about collusion? I would. 2 players could really clean up w/ just 3-4 hands a night.

i play primarily NL live and generally am not worried about collusion. I tend to see a lot more softplaying between friends.
