Default Re: Wheeling Poker Room Review

I went down to Wheeling Island tonight. It was my dad's birthday and he wanted to play slots (lol) and I figured I'd play whatever game they had going.

We got there pretty early (5:30-6ish) and went to the Pointe or whatever it is. I must say it was actually pretty good. I got some surf and turf and I was impressed (for a steakhouse in a crappy West Virginia casino).

I went to the poker room and was 3rd on the 5-10NL list. It took about 2 hours for me to get to the table because it was the only 5-10 game running and if I played 1/2 or 2/5 I'd probably shove blind preflop out of boredom and gouge my eyes out because of the terrible play.

While I was waiting, I went and found my dad playing slots. I put $10 in the machine next to him and ran it up to $120 or so. He was pretty jealous--when I took him and my mother to the Bahamas for PCA my mom and I both won like $200 and $400 respectively at video poker while he played like the entire vacation and didn't win anything. Anyways, I gave him my $120 voucher and told him to go nuts with it. Surprisingly, he did and I lost my $120. God damnit dad you're the biggest nit ever.

I eventually got to play and here was the table setup:

Seat 1- A high board I BLUFF AND SHOW A 2! OH SNAP!
Seat 2- Really incredible internet pro who plays perfectly.
Seat 3- OESD = Nuts I'M ALL IN HCHCAHCAHCAHC
Seat 4- OMFG I FOLD EVERY HAND YOU'RE ALL SO SLOW GIMME ACES PLZZZZZ
Seat 5- I'll call you down with no pair, PAL. YER DEAD.
Seat 6- 90% VPIP, 89% PFR, 0% look at cards preflop (serious)
Seat 7- Okkkkk finneeee I'll calllllll
Seat 8- TIGHT! HORSE RACES LOL!
Seat 9- TIGHT!
Seat 10- Honestly don't even remember what he looked like because I don't think he played a hand in 3 hours.

Overall the game was really soft. The dealers weren't very bad at all but the floor seems kinda like a bunch of boneheads.
