A few thoughts on Cherokee NC
I'll reiterate hiho silver's suggestion to purchase CBJN as well as BP's admonition to check the casino out for yourself.
CBJN is accurate with regard to the rules at Cherokee. They're not great. 6 deck, H17, 3:2, DS, NRSA, NS. If you have other questions, (e.g., pen), email me.
Cherokee always has one $5 table which is always full (often with a group of players waiting to get in). Sometimes Cherokee has another $5 min ($500 max) and a $10 ($1k max) or two. But most of the tables on the main floor are $15 and $25 min. Many (all?) of the $25 table are NMS.
Most of the high limit tables have the same rules as the main floor but $50 minimums ($2k max, I think). There are some tables in a separate room in the high limit area that are S17 with a $100 min.
