Re: Flopped set vs flush draw

Thanks, James, for your on-target, clear advice. I guess part of limit is paying off now to avoid having too many shots taken later in the game by opponents who see too many "thoughtful" folds.

Re: Any tips for getting the most out of a stay at the MGM Las Vegas?

You are staying in one of the slowest times of the year. You really have to attempt the $20 trick...or since its 10 days, maybe the $50 trick. But don't take anything less than a suite.

Re: Update: I Can Do It

How about jail for card room operators that constantly let rules violations slide because they don't want to offend their gang of regulars?
