I went for a second time for the Saturday $175 deep stack tournament.The room is smoke free and the game play was just what you want in a good stake, half hour blind level game. The majority of the players were older me with a splash of other different players. The game itself was such that I was shorstacked once the antes kicked in but still managed to play from 11 am to almost 6 pm. It's a hike to get there from Houston but it well worth it for a road trip or a spontaneous go round. The weekday games were good as well. Saturday's game boasted 157 players and a $6K first prize. I played a couple Thursday $65 buyin games with 89 players in the afternoon and 49 players in the evening session. It's a good room that accommodates where possible.
I snuck my camara into Winstar Casino and the poker room in Oklahoma.
Gameplay: some aggression, but a steady game just the same. Not a donk fest at all. Most players are locals and are familiar with each other and the dealers.

Atmosphere: good with non smoking and tvs surrounding the room. Not loud except for directors calling for players.

New room is very average. Chairs and tables are so so. Plenty of TVs and a self serve drink station for sodas. Dealers are average to weak. Most of the better dealers are on a first name basis with the regulars and can create awkward situations at times by saying more than the should. Always a few inexperienced dealers that have a difficult time keeping up. Best part of the room is the players. Great mix of experienced players and players that want to play after watching the WSOP for the first time. Hard to not be profitable if you know what you're doing.
