I just went to Silks after not going there for over 12 years and I can see why I haven't been there in such a long time. I signed up for the 1-2 NL and was third in line on the list. Thought I would get on a table pretty quickly since they called the first name on my list 5 minutes after I signed up. Well, I waited 55 minutes and still didn't get called and they let some jerk who wasn't on the list, onto a 1-2 table. After I saw that, I left in disgust! Cheating, collusion and fishy things still go on at this place. I quit playing there around 2009 because I suspected cheating and collusion was going on, and appears it is still going on. The place also looks very run down too. The tables are beat up, the carpet is old and there is a weird smell that you notice as soon as you walk in the poker room, along with some creepy people lurking around. I also got a bad feeling there and I'll never go back to this creepy place! I suggest staying away from this place if you are looking for a nice poker room and are trying to make money.
