Since I've got a few days off work, and my Saturday night game is taking the Summer off, I decided to take a Road Trip. This time, I'm heading to upstate New York, and Turning Stone Casino & Resort.
Turning Stone is a full blow resort with multiple hotels, a night club, a comedy club, a concert arena, and a golf course that hosts both PGA and LPGA event. The casino is large with the usual selection of table games. There is one weird thing about the casino; the slot machines do not take cash. You have to load the money on to your Player's Card.
As for the poker room, they have about 30 tables. They have the usual spread of $1/$2 & $2/$5 NLHE, and $2/$4 Limit. They also have daily tournaments. The room wasn't very busy on Thursday. They had 3-4 $1/$2 tables, 2-3 $2/$4, and a $2/$5 table. I'm sure it will be busier on Friday night.
Turning Stone is the best known poker room in the country that allows 18+, rather than 21+. The reason is because it was a dry casino, but that just changed last month. They are now serving alcohol throughout out the casino and poker room. They are still 18+, but they check ID for alcohol.
I ended up playing two short $1/$2 sessions yesterday, one before dinner and one after. Both sessions were profitable for a total of $333 for 6.25 hours. Nothing sexy, but it is a good start to this trip.
Today, I'm gonna play in the $60 noon tournament, and a little $1/$2. If things keep going well, I'll take a shot at some $2/$5 tonight. I'll probably have a Running Log to share with you tomorrow.
