I plan on going to Greektown early Aug because I believe it's got the closest casino poker room to where I live (Akron, OH). Does anyone know of a web site I can go to or know of info about whether or not they have tournaments there? Or other info like the dollar amounts of the tables? I checked their website, but it's pretty vauge. Any other info would be helpful too!
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites.

Well, Greektown is pretty high limit, they have 3 5-10 tables and 1 10-20, and 1 20-40 table for hold-em...
They have a tourney for the next 7 weeks on monday starts @ 9am get there about 6/7am to get in line for signups as they only take the first 50 people. 30$ entry.. if you win you get I think 1000$ and an entry into the 10k$ tourney in august..
Good luck

Jahred is correct with the price and number of tables. Here is their web site http://www.greektowncasino.net/
I was up there last Tuesday, First time ever in a casino (newbie). I got there at 3pm sat down at the table at 5:30pm. Give them your credit card and they'll give you a beeper, so you don't have to wait. You can also call ahead 1hr to get your name on the list.
I liked the $5-10 because it is enough that you can bluff. I've played home poker since grade school (now 37) but never in a casino. I bought in for $100 dropped down to $65 (beat by a bigger full house), I left at 8pm and was $130 up  .
Tell them you are a first timer and never bet more than you can afford to lose and you'll have a good time.

So what's the minimum buy in for $5-10?

Probably $100, but you should have far more than that at the table at any given time. I'd be happy with $500 at a $5/$10... shows the other players you mean business.

Yep $100 was min buy in. First time doing I wasn't willing to lose more than that. Next time I may go to $300. You can rebuy at the table as long as your money is declared before the begining of the next hand
