I spent about 5 hours at the Ho-Chunk casino in the Wisconsin Dells yesterday. As Vincent says they have the same stuff, but it's just a little different.

They had three tables running, 2-4, 1-2 no, and rather surprising to me a 6-12 round/round. The round/round is their term for a mixed game; odd in my experience. Another player had told me they had omaha, hold'em, and stud, but he wasn't confident at all.

I only play limit hold'em or stud years ago; there were no seats available on any table. I put my name on the 2-4 list, the 3-6 limit list hoping a table would open up, and I also put me name on the 1-2 no since I just wanted to play and didn't have much time.

They started a new 1-2 no shortly afterwards, 100 min, 300 max. I bought in for $200, among a mix of 100, 200, and 300 buy-ins.

They played with $1, $2, and $5 chips. I've only played no limit in a $0.10-$0.25 home game, but the $2 chip seemed odd and was a little annoying, imo and I presume odd.

They had no wait staff in the poker room! Odd for sure. They did have two soft drink fountain machines like in a self-serve McDonalds feet from the tables, which was great! No tipping needed, no waiting for your drink, good selection of drinks, all free.

They also had restrooms and a full bar feet from the tables. The alcohol was not free! Odd again. I like to drink, but not at the poker table, so I was very pleased with the drinks and wait staff arrangement.

No smoking tables, but smoking was allowed at the bar, again feet from the tables. Oh well.

I won't post any real interesting hands - I didn't get a lot of good cards. I lost a chunk of money here and there on miscellaneous yet solid hands. I won three all-ins, 2 for $46 each and one for about $300 when I flopped broadway (KQ) in late position and a live player stayed with my betting/raising all the way to my all-in pre-river. He had AQ, needing a K for a split pot; he missed.

The live player above was up $1200+ when I left. He was playing anything and everything. Raising at any time, never knew what he was on. Hitting tons of hands. He rivered an open-ended straight on my AQ top/top. He didn't have pot odds, but it wasn't an awful call, I lost a hundred that hand.

Ultimately I finished up about $170. Pleased with my first foray into no-limit. I always thought I'd play with scared money, but I felt plenty comfortable.

I'll probably play more no-limit, but suspect I'll still consider myself a limit player.
Had a good time, all players were good people.

Anyway, plenty of little differences at Ho-Chunk, mostly good imo.

No idea where this post belongs, so it's here, and I had to check some room, no "other" option, so MGM, where I like to play gets the check.
