Default Re: Hard Rock Casino, Tampa FL

Well I went to play cash games at the Hard Rock tonight. Ive only played at Derby lane before and I just played in their tourneys. I wasnt happy the moment I sat down at the table. It took me 1:40 mins to get in. Now i figured it would be a long wait because its saturday night. I called beforehand and the brush stand said the wait would probably not even be an hour. So I purchase $60 in chips, sit down and they ask how long I have been waiting. I told them over an 1 1/2 and they are all like your kidding this seat has been open forever. Didnt please me to well.

Well it took awhile before I played hand, then I finally got pocket 2's. I flop a set and theres like 6 of us in the pot. Turn comes and the board pairs so I have a full house. Ended up being about 4 people at the showdown. ( people wont fold for anything)Needless to say I took down a nice pot. Things were looking good from there, but nope. I played really tightly and just watched at the idiotic play in front of me. Finally when I would get A10,AJ,AK, nothing would hit on the flop, then if something did I would be beat by people playing any 2 hands just cause its a buck or 2 to stay in the hand.

Everyone at my table seemed to be new 2 to the game. 2 of them were definately new, and one admitted it was his first time playing hold-em. I think to win here you have to chase the straights and flushes, or just play any 2 cards and hope for 2 pair. I seen pocket AA's loose a lot.

I only wound up loosing 20 bucks, but I was dissapointed from how well I started out. Just thought I would share my experience here. I think Ill try the Derby lane Cash games before I give up on them here in Florida. I might just start playing the STT at the Hard Rock since the payout is A LOT better than derby lanes.
