Macau Poker Scene
I've seen the earlier thread on this topic (not very encouraging), but that info was several months old. I know Macau is a pretty dynamic gambling environment, so I'm hoping that there have been...

Re: Favorite Vegas Rooms
Wynn is my personal favorite, but Bellagio & Venetian also on the "must-visit" list; I like them all a lot.
Also, for low stakes (2/4 LHE, 1/2 NLHE) action off the beaten path, I'm kinda partial...

Re: The longest B&M session you have had.
24-ish (give or take an hour or so) twice, once at Commerce and once at Sycuan (near San Diego). That was about two years ago (the 2 sessions were only about a week apart). 4/8 LHE, broke roughly...

Re: Luxor, Monte Carlo, or others comparable?
I stayed at the MC for 5 days in September. The construction was in full swing next door, but didn't bother us at all in the hotel, just an unsightly walk to the Bellagio was the only effect I could...

Re: Muckleshoot for New Years
Others can speak more authoritatively, but I've been to the Muck a few times. They have a continuous 10-20 game going, usually 2+ tables, and usually a 20-40 as well. Often 30-60. I haven't seen...

Re: AQ when a k hits the flop.
I c-bet this flop; as others have mentioned, will win the pot right there often enough to be profitable. At very least, I may get 1 or 2 folds, increasing my chances of winning if an A or Q comes.

Yes. Unreservedly. Without question.
The key word is "CAN", however, not "WILL". Reading, studying, learning not enough. Discipline, emotional equilibrium, rigorous bankroll management, and...

Re: Suggestions for two days in Vegas
Haven't tried Mirage yet, can't speak to it.
Bellagio an easy walk from Flamingo, though; good 8/16 there. My biggest beef with that game is that they run it using $1 & $5 chips, rather than $2...

Probably just as easy (or easier) to order from amazon. Or just go down to your local B&N - it's probably there.

Re: Fixed Limit (Texas Hold\'em) Books
I think your list is pretty good, but I'll echo Phydaux in that you don't need ALL of them in one fell swoop. I think Phydaux's recommendations for paring the list down a bit are rock-solid as well;...

Re: Diary of our weekly game (long)
OMG, this is the greatest game I've heard of. Our own home game (actually, a "work" game) is similar, but it's only $10 buy-ins and rebuys. Awesome.
