Horseshoe in IN

Last weekend my friend and I headed to the Horseshoe late Saturday evening, we arrived at the poker room around 10pm or so. If anyone reading this hasn't ever been there, it's a must go. They have the best poker room anywhere near the Nashville area. Anyways, they had a ton of different games. I had never seen them have $3/$6 limit normally it's $4/$8. They had a ton of $1/$2 NL tables. We put our names on both list and quickly was told to get my chips as a limit table would be available soon.

The first hour was GREAT, I won my first 3 or 4 hands I played and was up about $100. My friend was at a different limit table and I told him he should move. Well he did and now I wish he hadn't. Chris plays great poker, he is a solid poker player that reads, eats, and sleeps poker. Tonight was not his night. I had never seen anyone as card dead as Chris was. He never was really in a hand, the hands he was in, never got past the flop. The poor guy never pulled a pot his way.

Over the course of the next 3-4 hours I didn't have anything exciting happen. At around 2am Chris was out and wanted to go back to the hotel, at this point I was up a huge $1... yep that's right one single dollar. At this point, with how bad the cards were I was happy to be up a single dollar.

We go back to the hotel, continue to talk for about another hour and finally went to sleep around 3:30 am. Of course I can't sleep with a poker room within a 10 minute drive. I wake up around 6am and head back. I played for another hour or so, this time down $50 so I left.

I wish I would have played the $1/$2 NL as I think that's my best game but for some reason I decided to stick to limit for the night. There was allot of money on those NL table and I really didn't feel like gambling to much per say so it was probably the best decision.

My next trips to a real poker room will be Scottsdale, AZ April 5-8 and then Las Vegas May 11-14. Until then I won't be back to any real poker rooms but will continue to play online at PokerStars.com and the home league.

PEACE.
