(06-10-07) A review from R.K. I visited the poker room at Harrah's North Kansas City Monday, June 4. The approximately 15-table room had ample friendly staff and stayed open as long as the main casino did (5:30am). Table side food service was available. A dealer told me that the dealers do not rotate throughout the casino and just work the room. A monitor was displayed for those waiting to play to see how many tables were being spread and with which games, as well as the length of the waiting list. Disappointing was that the only games spread were $3-6 limit hold'em and two types of buy-ins for NL games. $1-2 and possibly $2-$5. I played three different sessions, one mid-afternoon, one evening after the nice 40 person 7pm $30 tournament, and one until about 2:30am. Play at the limit game, my interest, was in general passive loose pre-flop but even more passive loose post flop. Aggressive players trying to play with moderate to moderately strong hands and didn't attend to players quickly went broke. During the earlier two sessions several tables of each game could be found. Even at 2:30am there was a limit game and couple NL games to be had. I found the two early sessions were populated with plenty of fish, ya just needed to play solid, positional, trapping poker to be successful. Some tired players in the late session missed bets and overcalled to their detriment. Overall, disappointing in terms of games available (no Stud, Omaha, etc.) but a profitable place to play for a limit player.
