What is the usual buy in for the lowest limit of NL hold'em? Do the games go most nights?

Also do they have craps there?

Thanks.

I haven't been to WH in a while, but I heard that the people who ran the poker room there moved it to the casino at COEX. But I haven't been there, so check it out for yourself.
The NL game at WH was nice. 100-200 buy in, 1-2 blinds, with a lot of rich, sloppy Chinese and SE Asians wandering over to spend some of their roulette, blackjack and baccarat winnings. They knew next to nothing about poker. Some sharks too, but their easy to spot if you know what to look for. Rake was a little high though, and you have to watch the dealers, as they had a tendency to over rake the pot.

One of my former students is a dealer there. She's very pretty, and had a slight resemblance to Lee Hyori.

There's no craps at all, not sure on the rake for poker. I did find it pretty dissapointing that on a Friday night they only had two tables going. I had to wait around an hour to get a seat. The play was pretty loose but you'll need a big bankroll, most people bought in for around 500,000 won on a 1/2 table.
