Poker Room Review: Trippers in Lansing

Trippers

24 of 25 Chips


Trippers has been hosting charity poker tournaments for quite
a while. They are one of the more well established charity
poker rooms in the state. I played in the Sunday 4PM circuit
event with 26 players at Trippers. Vinnie and his team were
hosting three charities on Sunday: Coalition of Labor Union
Women, Lakewood Habitat for Humanity, and the Eagles 3782
Ladies Auxiliary. Two full cash tables going when I arrived
around a half hour before the tournament.

#1 Games Trippers offers more levels and types of cash
games than I have chips to give! Texas Hold’em, Omaha,
Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud and Round by Round in limits from
$1/$2 up to $2/$5. If you’re looking for a variety of cash
games, these guys have them—and the players to get a game
together!

#2 Tournaments 15 minute blinds that climb up at a regular
pace (not doubling every round), standard rules enforced
across the board—the tourneys are run like the casinos. 75%
of the buy-ins go back to the prize pool. Trippers offers a differ-
ent tourney format every night of the week, with special $150
deep stack and partners tournaments once a month. Tourna-
ment director software is on two screens to let you know how
much the blinds are, and how much time left in the round.
Payouts are also posted.

#3 Atmosphere Located in a strip mall, Trippers is easy to
get to with lots of well lit parking. The poker room is on the
left after you walk in the door. One big screen TV and sev-
eral smaller ones let you keep up with the football game as
you play. All kinds of sports memorabilia is on the walls. The
room is carpeted, well lit with non-smoking tables.

#4 Equipment Fourteen custom felted portable tables with
padded bumpers & chip racks are in the Trippers Poker
Room. Nine players per table get padded banquet chairs to
sit in. Cash chips are custom made. The tournament chips
are hot stamped with value denominations. The equipment is
one small step below a casino setup.

#5 Staff The dealers at Trippers are lightning fast, accurate,
and keep the game moving. The tournament director and
room manager were walking around answering questions
and keeping the cash game wait short. Extra chips also
awarded for quick, friendly and accurate wait staff.

It was a great experience playing at Trippers. This is a pro-
fessionally run, very busy charity poker room with a great
atmosphere, great staff, fun tournament and tons of players.
Highly recommended with 24 of 25 chips!
