Turning Stone in New York?

I'm 18 so I am unable to play in regular casinos. Because of this I am traveling to New York from Maryland with my cousin for a weekend to play 1/2. Anyone know anything about the card room there. I might also participate in a tournament they have on the Saturday I'll be there.

Tourney rake is redonkulous: $100 buy in (prize pool) is something like +$20 rake, +$10 staff fee, +$2 to play in the room each day (!!!) = stick to the cash games.

Ya i have been there, I would stay away from tourneys as they take far far too much. Stick to cash games and try to win there. Gl hope you have fun in your first casino trip!!

can't wait..going next weekend!

Cash games there can be pretty soft, but are definitely some sharks... Look out for the huge stacks and have fun on the felt!

hey my local casino getting some pub, to bad its negative and true! The tournaments are ridiculous a 1/3 of your money goes to fees and don't forget its a dry casino which is also lame, I have done rather well in cash games there though, stick to them and only them as the other poster stated correctly!

Hey all--I had a great time. The first night i was up $380 playing 1-2, but on the second day my trip Qs got rivered by a gut shot who had called for $50 on the turn and i ended up out $250 bucks. I still ended up $120 for the trip, but it really should have been around $700--still It was cool playing in a casino for the first time.

Stick with the cash games there and grind. Tourneys are way too expensive.
