The Trop aint' bad...I stay there a lot when I go to Vegas. One of the best deals on the strip. But yeah, it's about a 20-30 min walk to the Bellagio. Only about 5 min walk to the MGM poker room...lots of low limit action there.

Played the Ceasars Nooner before, the best you'll find.They are now offering a Deep Stack Tourney on Saturday's $300+$30 $7000 in chips 40 min levels.....

They don't show the Jesus year (2000) because The Discovery Channel had the broadcast rights that year, and Ms. Binon was too cheep to spring for the holecard cameras as well..... I'm assuming something similar for 2001.

What the hell happend to Randy Quaid? He looks a bit _______ :shock:

Nice hand sir....made my day :clap:

Never had a problem with Neteller. It's easy and pretty fast, reliable

2 table SNG on Pokerroom....Early in 2nd round, some players are already short stacked. Blinds at $15-$30. I'm in early position with QQ. UTG player limps in and I raise it up to $150 a short stack moves all in for about $250, folded back to the UTG player who calls. I move all in for $1500 or so. He immediately calls for $1300 with 66, the short stack has 99. Flop comes with a 6 and I'm down to $200.I say something like "you called all of your chips with 66?"Hey says "you shouldn't have let me limp in" WTF?

The juice seems to be very in in the Calif card rooms, I'm up in SF and they are alway very high % of the buy-in. And they always claim that none of that goes to the dealers. I generally tip about 2%. I'm not rich and when I make a score in a tourney, I need that money. $40 for a $1600 pay out is a good enough tip.That being said, as much I want to play and win outright. Generally, in those $100 buy-in Calif tourney's when it gets down to 2 or 3 handed, the blinds are so high that it is almost like cutting cards for 2 or 3 grand. Most of the time, I make a deal. But I always wish I coul

Wait....did you say someone got AA two hands in a row? That's just not possible. I've never seen that happen before. That game must be rigged.

I've got to agree with Daniel on this one. Where's Erik Siedel? He's got 7 bracelets...or Annie Duke, she won the TOC last year. Even if it is a Freeroll and it's free money. I would be pissed if I had qualified under the terms laid out, and then found out that those guys were playing as well. Why not say up front that Harrah's is allowed x number of added players....they didn't do that. They've done that after the fact.I also agree with Daniel, when he has addressed his "complaining". If you don't complain, nothing with change.

"This guy can't even spell poker" is the winner.

Q 9 I won a big pot at a final table recently with this hand, now I love it

There are three decent rooms in Reno, Eldorado, Peppermill & Hilton.Eldorado - 3/6 Kill, 4/8 Kill and a big NL game most nights, sometimes there is a Omaha 8/b.Peppermill - 2/4, 4/8, 10/20 and a medium NL game, $200 max buy-inHilton - 3/6, not too much action there most days, weekend may be good?The only real decent room in Southlake is at Harvey's they play a lot of 3/6, but there is normally a 10/20 there too.

I agree, I've played there a few times, I won one tourney, $75 buy-in got me $2400. I think they have two a day, the evening one, is more than $75.Mirage has a bigger one, but I think it's only on Sunday.

Not sure about any IN Sac, but Cache Creek Indian Casino is not too far maybe about 45mins. They have a decent room. Usually 3-6 or 4-8, not sure about no-limit, they have some small tourneys too sometimes.

I've read that over the last 20 years Chip Reese has made somewhere in the ballpark of 75 Million playing in cash games. I'd bet Doyle isn't too far behind that.I've also read that Phil Ivey has made Millions playing over the past few years. But he plays more than anyone. I bet Danny boy didn't make too much last year on the side games, it doesn't sound like he plays all that often. But 4.4 Mil from tourneys, plus 400K from Tunica, he's doing alright I'm sure.

The first thing you should do is NOT play at that site anymore. Every other site that I play has a much better structure. Try Pokerroom.com or Pokerstars.com. I play mostly at Pokerroom and the structure is:1500 in chips to start, blinds go up every 10 hands.10-2015-3025-5050-10075-150You get to see a lot of hands before you are on the bubble and short stacked. A least 4 rounds.I generally play farily tight for the first few rounds, if I get a premium hand I over bet them, you will most likely get action. I generally play medium hands like Js 10s AK AQ passivly. Limp and hope to catch a

The confilt is that there was no money reward for winning the pot vs. that player since I couldn't knock it him out. But I was risking the money that I would make by outlasting one more player. If you think of it like a Super sattalite I think it may have been correct to lay them down in this situation.

I recently came across a situation where it may have been correct to lay down aces pre-flot, and I thought I’d share. I was playing in a LIMIT Round-Up tourney at one of the local card rooms here in the Bay Area. In a Round-Up tourney every player is given a button, which is worth 1 buy-in, in this case $50. If you go all-in, your button goes into the pot and if you are eliminated your button goes to the winner of the pot. If you’ve busted out some players and you’ve got a few buttons when you go all-in, all of your buttons go too. The tourney is played down to the final 6 or 7 and then

Yeah I've played in the 5-10 game at Harvey's SouthLake. Not the best game, seems like you can make more playing in the very loose 3-6 games.
