During the week it is pretty much the same no matter where you play, slow (2
tables of 1-5 stud and 2 tables HE ) to medium, 
maybe one more table of each.

I like the station on the weekends.  They will have up to 15 tables of mixed
games at a time.

Harrah's usually has a couple of 1-5 stud and one 2-5 or 3-6 HE, but to me it's
like playing in the closet, the way they have the room tucked back in the
corner of the lower deck.

The Argosy is the only place you can find a 2-10 high low split, 8 or better
and on Fridays and Wenesdays they have a 2-20 high low  split, but on that one
you need to call in for reservation earlier in the morning (after 10:00 am). 
It usually starts at about 6:00 pm.

The caliber of the players is about the same.  Mostly conserative recreational
players with little or no discipline (I do not mean that unkindly, it's just a
fact.  A fact that I am becoming to appreciate.)  

The Station is the only one, at present, that is offering 15-30 HE or higher
stakes games and you can usually find at least one 15-30 game any time of the
day or week.  But 5-10 is picking up in popularity.

Remember in Missouri, we still have the $500.00 loss limit per cruise with
boarding passes that are marked with the amount of chips you buy.  So if you
wish to start with more you will want to come a little early, however, $500.00
will usually get you started in the bigger games and $100.00-$200.00 will be
plenty to start in the lower games.

My ratings for low limit are:

Weekends: Station, then Argosy, and finally Harrah's

Weekdays: A toss up between Argosy and Station, then Harrah's.

Hi,

    The best variety of games is at Station. They have games from 5-10 up to
30-60 holdem. They also spread 1-5 stud. Argosy I believe only spreads stud
these days. 1-5 and 2-10. Harrahs has 1-5 stud and 3-6 holdem. Those are the
only boats with poker. I hope this helps.
