    vegas plans--suggestions?

    in General Poker Forum

    Posted

    My folks are offering to go to Vegas with my wife and I. We are all wanting to stay at the Bellagio, but it may become too pricey. My father mentioned that he would cover $2000 of the travel and hotel expenses, and I'm trying to work with that... 4 of us flying from columbus, Ohio to Vegas. We plan on leaving march 9 and returning march 12, and are looking to maximize our time. Any suggestions/secrets to find a good deal/package and be close to some card rooms to hit a tourney and some cash games? I already know how to expedia.com it...just looking for some inside info if possible. We want to be on the main strip, but also want to consider price... Thanks all!

    tournament exits with bad beats

    in Tournament Play

    If y0u are a strong player you will exit most tourneys from either a short stack or a "bad beat", since with a decent stack you should be playing hands against stacks that can eliminate you only if you think you have a decided edge at the time the money gets in.
    This is more or less the type of response/info I am looking for. I'm just trying to put things in perspective. Not sure if I should classify myself as a 'strong player', but I certainly am exiting 90% of my tournies as a short stack getting into a coin flip or a bad beat against a bigger stack when i've made a good read/pushed.

    if they were true donks, u would, on average, have more chips than them so that you would not be eliminated by them when you are given a "bad" beat. In MTTs you need to be willing to gamble, I dont know the circumstances but I amguessing some of thes eplayers that knocked you out with inferior hands are indeed good players, but realized they needed to gamble...

    Just wondering - What percentage (roughly) of eliminations from tourneys do you suffer from bad beats? I can't tell if I'm on a bad run, or if it's just me, or whatever.... The last ten tournies I've played 8/10 were over when I was handed a beat. Typically on the river. That's poker, sure-but should I be glad it's not donk plays that lead to my doom, or should I examine my play for leakage....? Thanks-

    should i have reported this?

    personally it would depend on the level of a tourny...anything over a $20 buy in then i would report it...but anything lower is kinda not worth it.  Even though it IS still cheating
    Personally, I don't think the buy-in should be considered. Not the point.Anyway- if it were me, I'd probably let em know it was against the rules/unethical and see how they reacted to gauge my course of action.

    Yeah, I 'm at least not that far behind. :wink: That's why I was mentioning the 'I know I shoulda, but was scared stuff'..
    Maybe I'm the only one that gets that sense that I'm slowing down to not be greedy, and that will "save  the pot for me".. not literally, yet, kinda feels that way.
    No, I 'm with ya. And thanks, I've been helped by these critiques. Thanks everyone.

    better set?

      The worst I remember seeing him get his money in was with 88 vs AA when he cracked Brenes and I can't recall, but I think the money may have even gone in after Moneymaker hit his set.
    The money went in on the flop before he hit his set on the turn.

    chop formula/etiquette for tourney

    in General Strategy

    Posted

    I've taken a few unsuccessful stabs at finding a good resource for my question. I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction. I'm looking to understand proper chop etiquette and examine what benefits what player. Got in the position to chop last night, but busted the guy before I considered my options. An observer was chirping like crazy that we should chop...... I obviously just wanted to take it down right there. But for future reference, I'd like to not remain so ignorant on the subject. Here is the final hand of the tourney with some details of my specific scenario... (if it matters) and of course it shows the happy ending!!
