Poker Casino report, Eagle Pass, TX

On Friday my husband and I decided to go see the casino at Eagle Pass, the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle. We live in Georgetown, Tx, and the google gizmo Jerry checked said it was 3 1/2 hours away. Close enough for a day trip. Hah. It took us 5 hours, that is ten hours in the car for a couple of old geezers.

The casino was larger than we expected. The main area was visually unappealing to me, very dark, and it smelled bad, ventilation was not good. But it was the poker room we were interested in.

Wow! Very nice! It was closed off from the main casino by double doors, thus keeping out the odor. Ventilation was fine in the poker room, and no smoking is a real plus to us. The bathrooms were right outside of the door, so quick access to pottys. (old geezer plus there) There was a free drink station in the room, with soft drinks and coffee. Alcoholic drinks were delivered by servers and are NOT complimentary. Comps were accrued at the rate of 50 cents an hour, one would starve waiting for a free meal. Chairs were very comfortable. Games available when we arrived were one no limit table and two 3/6 limit games. We are limit players.

The best thing about this poker room was the quality of play. I doubt that any player had ever read a poker book. They raised with any A. Then bet it all the way to the river whether it hit or not!! Same with any pair. They would call with stuff like 3 4 off suit, and think they were genius to win with a pair of 4s. We only played for four hours, because we were facing that 5 hour drive back home. But we both were winners, $245 between us. I'd love to go back and stay for several days, but at 50 cents an hour, the rooms will never be comped. So all our profit would go to room and food.

With Kinder La just 6 hours away, with free rooms and food, We will probably never again enjoy the easy money opportunities at Eagle Pass.
