Played here for the first time last week. I was in the area for biz, and had some time to kill on a Saturday afternoon, so I checked Poker Atlas for the closes room. They do allow you to call ahead and get on a list, up to an hour before you arrive. I still had to wait a while after getting there, but a new 1-2 NLH game got going after about a 30 minute wait. Dealers and floor were friendly. Two things stand out: 1) the rake is 10% up to $10; 2) at one heads-up showdown, checked at the river, player 1 checked and player 2 flipped over his cards to show A high, and layer 1 flipped over one card to show top that he had paired the board. The dealer shoved player 1 the pot, and then somebody else said he needed to show both cards, which wee by this time mucked. The dealer said he didn't know that was a rule "at this casino". It was a small pot and nobody else seemed to care, so that was that. That was just weird.
