El Guapo

OK so I finally got a chance to play on the poker tek poker pro tables that are in Folsom, CA at the Folsom Lake Bowl Card room.Let me begin this by the fact that I am kind of a poker pureist if there is such a thing, I have been playing since I was a kid and sneaking into card rooms since I was 15. So I like chips, I Like cards I like the general nuances of the game that is inherant in traditional poker play. I will tell you a little about my night before I talk about the tables themselves. We get there Sunday night after a buddy's wedding at about 10 PM and there is on 2-3 NL table going, f

people give me crap all the time for living in ca with the housing cost so high here, but we have one of the lowest property taxes in the country!

$800 a month mortgage?? My second is $1000 and I do not even have that expensive of a house.

I live in Northern California and I am a huge Kings fan. Mark Krielder is one of the Sacramento Bee beat writers and he moonlights for ESPN.com. Usually he is one of the more objective writers when the Kiongs are concerned and I genuinley like his writing style. I am very surprised with having had read his articles for years that he would write a piece like this, I have not had the chance to read it yet, and I am not sure if I even want to.On another note, to the thought of using M&Ms as chips, done it. I am 30 now and have been playing poker since I was 13, my buddys and I did not drink o

I live in Nocal and I just talked to a buddy of mine who plays at the Folsom casino, and he went in their a couple weeks ago and they had switched 100% to the poker tek tables. He personally did not like it, but it is the first card room in the US to go to full computer tables. I had the option to go their or the luck derby tonight and I chose the lucky derby because it had dealers and chips

Daniel......wow.......you shouldn't post drunk or on major tilt, because that was just bad....Look, I think the US governemnt has mismanaged the war and more importantly Bush has mismanaged the media, because that is what is trying him right now. I have a freind of the family that lives in texas, I think I have put this on here before, he used to drive Bush when he was governor and said that he is a very nice, down to earth man who when he became president just wanted to do what he felt best for the country, regardless of what the media or public thought and he has stayed true to his word. He

I really hope that this was one of his joke blogs.... I will reserve complete judgment until then. Ditto to the internet thing said above. Also, did people watch farenheit 911 and form opinions from and edited movie?? Cmon people, lets get some fact before we spew back regurgitated material from a movie. No way this world is dying in 50 years, that is just one of the most absurd things I have ever heard.There is much evidence to show that there was more warming at the begininig of the past century then the last 10 years. Now I personally believe that we are not doing the world any good by put

I lost all respect for Dane cook when he hosted SNL and did the "Camera Schtick" that he always does. You are on F'in SNL, come up with something orignial do not retred that same standup you have been using for the last 2 years. My favorite comedians in somewhat of an order:1. Dave Chappelee - His Killin em Softly stand up is the best ever and I have seen him live twice and he does not disapoint (even post meltdown, saw him in Davis, CA and he was great)2. George Carlin - Consistenly the best stand up of all time3. Chris Rock - I have also seen him twice live and brings it everywhere he goes4.

I agree with one of the posters that Joe Rogan Stand Up vs. all the other stuff he has done are two different things, almost Bob Sagatish, not that Rogan has the clean image as Sagat but both try to be too dirty and offensive and it just comes off as forced and awkward. I loved Rogan on the Chappele SHow with Tyrone the Crack head.Also, Joe Rogan has a standing offer to fight Wesley Snipes in a UFC style bought. I really hope this happens, since Snipes thinks he is a ninja now and a black belt in multiple martial arts. Rogan is a grappler and would kill him in a fight, and has pretty much said

we play 1-2 Pot Limit dealers choice. We play HE, Omaha Omaha8b, 2-7 Triple Draw. A-5 Triple Draw, if we play and stud variation we play 2-4. $60 original buy $100 after, sometime more if the table is OK with that.We switched to pot limit because we had too many people showing up with over 1k in there pocket no play NL and it got out of hand. We bascially elminated the all in fest pre flop that would happen when people would go on tilt. Average games has $1500 on table between 8 or so rotating guys, has gotten over 3k on table.

Drati, if she was a hooker she was the worsed dressed Hooker I have ever seen. She was in Jeans and a black knit sweater. Fairly attractive, early 30's, but it was a dark bar.My wife and I played a game during the week called "Hooker or Hair Dresser" it was 50/50 many times...When we were at the Fergi concert that didn't work any more so we played spot the Straight guy.As far as the Alcohol goes, she can drink, in moderation and no mixing what-so-ever. Some wines will have a higher alcohol content becasue they have a 1% variance at the winery so if she gets a batch that is higher it can mess

I looked back at an old thread and it was nutzbuster who recomended the Mesa Grill....Thanks again....Awesome.It is pretty cool to have a place like this to get good info and have it hold up.

Your right, maybe it was 773. Long weekend, give me some slack. I tried to remember the key hands the best I could.I actually loved the Monte Carlo poker room. Very friendly staff and players. (If you have not played live much this is the place to go, they are very niove and will help out player who do not understand poker room ettiquette and they will not make you feel stupid for it, I saw a couple people sit down and not know betting structure and how to get a seat, kind of like the Greg Raymer commercial) I like to chat with people when I play cards like that and some of the tables we had f

First let me thank all of you who gave me advice it was all great advice except for Teresa telling me to play that damn wheel of fortune game, it cost me a hundred bucks before I figured out I was betting $3.75 a spin and if I hit a wheel of fortune it on paid times a nickel, I hit a hundred and got back a cool $5!My wife and I got to Vegas Sat morn at 8:30 tried to check into the Monte Carlo but nothing was ready, they said maybe by 11:00, we were tired and wanted a nap and shower. So we cruise the strip waiting for our room and check out the Bellagio, Caesars, Aladdin, grab a cheap lunch at

Thanks for your replies everyone, they are very helpful especially who told me about the change in the Venetians tourney. I just may go check out Caesers noon tourney. SOunds like 50/50 for the Monte Carlo poker room. Since I will most likely be playing late at night, I probably will play there out of ease unless I am uncomfortable. I am going to play 1-2 NL or 2-3 NL cash. May go 2-5 if I do well, but I usually play too tight for that game as I usually need $500 to be comfortable sitting 2-5, if I buy in less than that I just play too damn tight.I'll check out the noodle bar and maybe the Me

How, beside your basic 777 slot they are the absolute most simple out there. You get a Spin. You hit the but and the get the denomination the wheel lands on...Thats it.Its not like the 5 lines 10 way cartoon machines where you have no idea if what you did was good and if you won..

Looks like Kale or Chard to me

Bunny Ranch is in Reno Whoopi!

I am going to Vegas next weekend for the first time in almost a decade. I am going Sat 20 through Tuesday 23rd.Itineary so far....We are staying at the Monte CarloMy wife is a Hair Stylist so she is going to be at the Redken Show Sun night, Monday and Tuesday.Saturday we will probably just cruise around check out the town, she has never been. Sun Morning I am playing golf with a friend who lives there, not sure where yet, but I asked him to keep the greens fees to under $100. Sunday night we may go see Zumania or Penn and Teller, not sure yet. Any suggestions on those two?Monday I am playing i

Um, how old are you? I'm guessing you either just turned 21 and you look 16 or you are like 30 and you look 20 by the way you talked about it in your post.

You know what helps me when I'm that angry.... Looking at your avtar

What I noticed, when I have the same problem, I am playing oo many hands. When you play online you cen get 60 - 120 hands an hour per table depending on if it is short handed and if the other players are palying fast. Because you are playing hands so much faster, you may find yourself playing a lot of hands especially marginal ones in bad position, I know I have. Try tightening up or maybe even playing some limit, that always helped cool my jets.When you play live you can play as little as 20 hands an hour at a slow table.Theres my two nickles.

Thats just wrong. You muck cards are dead, it does not matter when.

Absolutley correct fold. I make this play all the time. You lead at the pot, you get reaised and reraised. ALthough you are the overall favorite to win the had against one oponenet, but against 3 you are only 23.86% to tie and 0% to win. You were rigght and I think you owe each of us who said $.25.

When did Chau Giang start taking it in the Butt?
