Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX Area Poker
This thread is for discussion of news/events in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, as well as a place to ask questions about poker in the area. This is also the place for discussions about the smaller card rooms in the area that do not warrant an individual venue thread.
Looks like Poker House is winning the Battle of Burleson. The only one with consistency cash games and biggest tournament turnouts.
DD has the On tilt boys promoting the club so 5220 is being left in the lurch running single table tournaments most nights with low payouts.
Will all three survive much longer?

Poker House Austin they lost, sold off Poker House at Peaks Dallas I believe, and the Burleson location I thought attracted mostly low buyin freeroll hunters since it's next to a Walmart?

They have had cash games after 11 pm most nights lately

If you do go the TCH route, I've heard the 2/2 at Social is a little more tame than the 1/2 at Dallas. I haven't played in either though, so can't say from experience. For anything bigger you'll definitely have to go to TCH Social.
It absolutely is, the 1/2 plo is a much better game and is likely comparable to the 2/5 plo at social that will also have better players on average.
Can anyone drop me some information about TCH Dallas v. TCH Las Colonias? General word I'm hearing is Colonias is in a much nicer neighborhood, but stacks play smaller. I've never been to Texas but we will be there for about 4 days and don't have plans (until I go broke) to do much else.
1/3 is max 500 in TCH Dallas. In Las Colinas 1/2 is max 300.
Las Colinas has many 2/5 tables and they are max 1500. TCH Dallas maybe has 1 table or none max 1000 or match the stack
Las Colinas is a newer and more beautiful place. They serve food.

The 1/2 plo in Dallas is better than the 2/5 plo at LC most the time, and the same can be said about the 1/2NL even more so. Dallas also has free beer, and byob. The food to me at LC is very overrated/overpriced in my opinion. All that being said I mainly play 2/5 so at LC when I'm there.
Wondering if anyone would share some info with me about TCH Social?
Current hourly is $13?
Day passes- currently $10? Any idea when they start? Can I roll in at 130am play a little and come back and play later in the day?
Rake- do they rake the pot at all? For promotions or anything?
Comps- any hourly rake back?
Safety- could I/ would you walk across the street to the Bennyhana? During the day? At night? With your roll in your pocket?

Yes, they have a 9hr for $99 special through Dec. though

I'm unsure. If I were to guess, I'd say it lasts 24hrs from whenever you buy it. Leave and come back is fine.

Anyone been to the Copa Club yet?
I've been keeping an eye on them on Poker Atlas. They seem to be drawing decent crowds.
Looks like Westlake is split and part Denton part Tarrant county. I assume the poker room is in the Denton part, lol. I wonder how Denton Co. feels about the legality of this place. Are there any other legal rooms in Denton Co? I don't know of any.
I just realized the one that rebranded as Poker House Dallas, I forget what it originally was, is gone from Poker Atlas. I never went, but I always intended to go get in some ping pong action, damn it.

Yeah, Peaks - as a table tennis/poker fan, I was of the same mind. Went to visit a buddy late November in Dallas and was sad to discover it was closed.
Boo
Any idea what happened to them? It was Peaks, then Poker House at Peaks, then Peaks again, then closed
Investors pulled funding so closed abruptly. Some people had bought a lot of time on deals and were pissed. People that ran it moved quickly to Austin. Hayden Fortini now works at the Lodge so you can ask him. I’m assuming his wife Kim Stone is now playing there as well.

So were members reimbursed or the people running it fled to Austin with the loot?
Members were not reimbursed. Place closed abruptly. Hayden and Kim didn’t steal anything though. Whatever money came in was lost as the place was losing money. Investors all of the sudden said they weren’t going to fund it anymore and it closed suddenly. Two of the main investors are a husband and wife team that play tourneys all over the DFW area(Jim and Dori). They probably had unrealistic expectations based on Hayden/Kims salesmanship in getting them involved and quickly started losing their investment and pulled the plug on funding the place. Hayden and Kim have no $ so had no way to keep it open.

Gotcha, ty for the info. Yeah, it was a pretty nice room from my recollection, and I've only heard positive things said about Hayden/Kim
Zero tables running at Las Colinas today, at least according to poker atlas. Hope it's something minor like a computer issue.
I don't think so, that's not supposed to get bad until tomorrow afternoon, I think. And looking at the temp predictions it's probably going to be a whole lot of ado over nothing.

There's nothing of note on either their website or when searching news links for TCH Las Colinas.
I'm also pretty sure if there was a raid or even a shutdown it would have already been on Reddit.
Their facebook page says they were going to open at noon. No clue why. They're up now, but only 4 tables running. Pretty strange.
