As to the promo drop, at the Beau it is $1 on (as I recall) a $20 or higher pot while at IP it is $1 on $15 and $1 on $30.
Translated to my bottom line, this represents about a $2000/year difference in favor of IP. As of this writing, the Beau has a 10%, $5 max rake while IP has a 10% $4 max rake on no-limit games.
My reasons for the transfer of allegiance from Beau to IP are as follows.ġ) The rake/promo drop structure is much more favorable at IP. For what I play (no limit Hold-em), I consider these to be the only rooms in town worth serious consideration. Lately nearly all of it is spent at the IP. In the beginning I spent nearly all of my time at the Beau. I spend about 1000 hours a year playing, and have played all of the 4 rooms now active here (Beau Rivage, IP, Golden Nugget, Hard Rock).
Having a poker room nearby was one of the reasons that I moved to Biloxi after Kartina.
