New poker rooms in PA and DE

[madjek]

I live in DE so I've played at De park in the new poker room there. Haven't been to any of the casinos in PA but they also now have poker rooms. Wondering if anyone has played in any of the tourneys there, I'm not too far from one in Chester (Harrah's I think). De park hasn't started there reg. tourney schedule that they put online originally. Right now they just have one tourney a day during week (m-f). I don't like it a lot but better than driving to AC 2+ hours. It plays like a turbo tourney. You only get 5000 chips to begin with and blind levels double each level for a while (25-50, 50-100, 100-200, then 25ante 200-400). So by level 4, most players (they usually get around 100) have around 10 blinds or less. So second hour doesn't have much poker in it, either shove or fold. It's only 65 buyin, I cashed first time I played (barely). Would like to see what tournament structures are in the PA casinos, if anyone's played there.


BTW- for those not in US, PA - Pennsylvania DE - Delaware

Been playing at Harrah's Chester, probably at least 20-25 times since it opened. It's not the greatest room in the world, but I make due. Plenty of $$ going around and always a game going.

Been playing $1/$2 NL and having a good run.

As for the room, dealers are average but very nice people. The tables suck. I was at Showboat in AC Friday. I have no idea why Harrah's would buy different tables. They have the Bravo system, which forces dealers to keep track of what seats are open. It doesn't work great because the floor can be slow to bring in new people.

Was really wondering about tournament structure there really. Don't play much cash games. Structure in DE not too great, was thinking of checking chester's. Any one play any tourney's there let me know please.

Looks like DE park are restructuring there tournaments. At least the ones they added on weekend. Double starting chips and a slower blind structure. I'll have to try one these. They also adds sit n go's. Don't think I'll be going to AC much anymore.

No tournaments in Chester yet and probably not for a few months. Way more $$ to be won playing $1/$2 NL.
