Mt Airy Poker Room Review

The room itself was small I think 12 tables and it was packed. Their was a long waiting list for all games. It was mostly a $1-2 No Limit room with 2 $2-5 games going. As for Limit Poker as usual there wasn't many games going and the list was long. They had 2 $2-4 Limit games going and a list of interest for a $3-6 game that never got started on a Saturday night. As for the $2-4 game I played in it was super soft. Virtually no pre-flop raising and 7 or 8 players to the flop every hand. I use the term players loosely being the play was awful! There were 3 players at the table that played every hand and I mean every hand! The play at this table was worse then a .25-.50 limit game online at Poker Stars. As for the Rake structure it was one of the worst I have ever seen. 10% rake up to $5 plus another $1 taken for the bad beat Jackpot. Worse yet they took the first $1 and Bad beat dollar on every flop. So if the pot was $10, $2 was dropped for rake plus a tip for the dealer. You would think this game is unbeatable in the long haul. Only thing is the play was so bad that it was easily crushable. I won 22BBs in my 4 hours of play. That is after tipping and giving tips to the cocktail waitresses the whole time. As for the cocktail service it was slow, only had 1 waitress for the whole room and she was overwhelmed big time. I wasn't crazy about the smoke blowing in from the Casino either. It reminded me of the old days in AC when smoking was allowed everywhere. One other note the coffee there was awesome, which is rare in Poker rooms these days. Beware of the Donks today. Happy Donkday. Tony
