Don't post here much.. but do have one story.My first time in a live casino playing $2/$4 limit holdem as I was just out there for a touristy trip. A guy sits down on my right and he proceeds to cap every street on the first pot, without ever looking at his cards. The other end of the table wasn't paying attention and was completely oblivious to that tiny fact that he never looked down. He proceeded to cap every street on every pot for 30 minutes straight. What made it absolutely hilarious was there were two guys at the other end of the table who started discussing strategy and one guy deliber

Thanks for the advice. I have a couple friends who work in law enforcement I know I could ask. For the most part it seems like they look the other way. I'm not worried about losing my money, i'd just be worried about getting "caught" at an illegal place and having that end up on my record somehow.

So I've been a member here for a long time, don't post very often at all but read the forums a lot. I have a question that hopefully you guys might be able to help me. I've always played in home games and have been to Vegas and other live casinos to play. I live in North Carolina where gambling with live cards is illegal. Video poker is not and sweepstakes are not. I moved to a new area and met some people at the local university who referred me to a game in a nearby city. There are lots of places popping up in my area that offer sweepstakes that everyone knows is just a form of a local casin

I looked around on their site and the software, didn't find anything. Just wondering if they have a friend referral bonus? Have a buddy who wants to start playing there and just wanted my piece of the pie if there is one! Thanks!

I just wanted to say good luck in your student teaching and teaching career! I am a teacher as well, just graduated from college and have my first job. I love playing poker, its been a pretty good money making hobby. But it doesn't compare to the satisfaction I get in the classroom everyday!

Oh, in case you wanted to know, I shoved... villain flipped over Q9 for the boat. In most situations I would've flat called here in this spot, but I decided when he bet that I either wanted to be knocked out so I could go out with friends, or double up and give myself a good shot at cashing. Not the right mentality I know.. but hey, sometimes ya just don't feel like fighting the uphill battle from a short stack when you could be out with friends.Thoughts on my semi-bluff: i did it more for information and a free card than as a pure semi-bluff although I would've been happy taking the pot down

Nice showing!

Sooo... I swear you didn't sign up for this forum a year before me, i think i had another name on here at first.. but maybe I'm wrong. I don't remember.

+1 You're still in 3rd.

My buddy (also a forum member) is at the final table of a $2 PLO Tourney on Stars! His name is arutlupes89, currently 3rd in chips!Tourney # 109332333GL TID

glad to see i sparked a lil controversy. lol. I still think in a cash game mindset in retrospect I like re-raising preflop although i don't think calling his horrible preflop and on the flop, although my turn bet should have been bigger for sure. Still think this is a classic case of where my tournament upbringing negatively affects my cash game play.

I think my thinking in this stems from my MTT play. I don't play a lot of cash game and you're right.. my goal should be to give myself easy decisions and take my hits and reload if I end up facing the flush, straight, or QQ here, and bigger raises would do that. I seem to be trying to protect my chips too much in cash play, which looking back is what I was trying to do here, keep the pot small so that I can give myself the chance to avoid busting. Same hand in a tournament played the same way, i fold at the river and pick a better spot. Although in tourney or cash game I don't like the way I

I don't agree re-raising preflop, not my style so to speak, I prefer to get to the flop cheaper and then let him hang himself if I hit the flop the way I want. I agree my turn raise was too small, but again i am trying to extract value, also i made that raise based on my stack size. I didn't want to raise to like $8 and leave myself with a stack that I feel committed to shoving regardless of the river. If he doesn't shove on me at the river, then it gives me more options. If he bets I can call if I'm worried i'm beat and not risk my whole stack, i can raise him if i think i have him, and if h
