Re: Playing Tightly

I get that sort of thing too, since I'm a pretty tight player. I also like to stay low key, so my response would usually be sort of a half-smile and say "Maybe." Depends on the tone of the...

Re: SSHE starting to work

I am rereading SSHE again in preparation for a Vegas trip starting this weekend. I find that even just a quick review for reminders is very helpful, particularly (for me) in taking pots here and...

Re: All star weekend

I will be there. I intend to play mostly 4/8 limit. I would assume the poker rooms will be quite busy. I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Going to Vegas - Looking for Wine Bars & Cheap Blackjack

The most reliable $5 BJ close to the Bellagio is Barbary Coast (daytime at least). Generally casinos have their lowest limits on weekdays, then they go up in the evenings and on weekends as they get...

Re: Vegas Hotels Strato vs. Excalibur vs. Luxor

Excalibur is physically closest of the 3 to the most other poker rooms on the Strip. However, for the $90 you'd save by going with the Strat, you could use bus, cab, or Monorail (from the Sahara...

Re: Low stakes poker in Las Vegas

If I had $150 to use for poker in Las Vegas, I would just play 2/4 or 3/6 limit cash games, of which there are plenty. If you play fairly tight, you'll get more play for your money than playing low...

Re: How is TI?

My wife and I stayed at TI in May and liked it a lot. Easy access from elevator to street. Also a tram that runs to Mirage front door cuts some of the distance walking down the strip. Roooms are...

Re: Going to Vegas in two weeks, 2 quick questions.

"Doesn't mean they're good."

Yeah, I've run into weak locals (any 2 suited cards) at Binion's and Monte Carlo. I understand. Thanks for the info.

Re: Cruise Ship Poker?

Thanks Michael. We will probably be on the Island Princess, because its schedule works best for us.

We took the Grand Princess out of Galveston a couple of years ago and they had a decent low...

Re: I\'m a Poker Dealer and I still love my Job!! (Long)

Thanks for offering your viewpoint. To me, pleasant dealers, along with an interesting mix of casual players, are what make live poker so much more fun than internet poker.

Re: Cruise Ship Poker?

And I'm planning an Alaska trip next summer on Princess, so any information on Princess' Alaska ships (Coral, Island, Diamond, Sapphire) would be welcome as well.

Re: Going to Vegas in two weeks, 2 quick questions.

Michael, I'll be there 2 weeks from Sunday as well. Is there usually one or more 3/6 game(s) going at the Venetian by late morning Monday/Tuesday? Are those games usually filled more with regular...

Re: Any tips on dealing with smoke?

In LV the most smoke-free rooms are going to be the ones completely separated from the casino. Caesar's, Harrah's, and TI would probably have the cleanest air. Monte Carlo, Mandalay Bay, and Venetian...

Re: Poker on Cruise Ships: Royal Caribbean

I am curious about this too, since my wife and I will be going on a RC cruise out of Galveston in December.

I played 2/4 limit every night on the Grand Princess out of Galveston in Dec 2004. One...

Re: Venetian: Changes in the cash NL games/Tournaments/Comps

What is the blind structure of the weekday noon tournaments? How does it compare to Caesars? How long are the blind levels? Knowing the starting chip stack is only worth anything if one also knows...

Re: Ceasar\'s Daily Tournies

The extra 3000 is worth more to you when the blinds are 25 and 50 than after the blinds have gone up to 100-200 with a 25 ante.

Re: Where can my wife play in Las Vegas?

Excalibur, Flamingo, Bally's, MGM probably have the most tourist-friendly 2/4 limit games (IMHO).

I think the best 2 small-buy-in tournaments are Sahara ($42 + $20 single rebuy, 20 minute blinds)...

Re: Ceasar\'s Daily Tournies

I played in the Caesar's noon tournament on Monday, May 29. There were 93 players. Only one rebuy was allowed. Most of the folks at my table took it. $80 gets you 1500 in chips. The $50 rebuy gets...

Re: No Limit Hold-Em on Cruise ships

I was on Grand Princess in Dec of 2004. They had just started poker weeks before. The rake was $1 per $10 up to $5 max. They offered 2/4, 3/6, and 4/8, but all anyone played was 2/4. Any information...
