Default <3 Live Poker

Last night a guy sits down, and initially tried to keep the chips in his lap/pocket and only pull them out to bet. Someone asked him if he's played before and he responded with, "one time in the pen."

Board was K Q J 3 8 all hearts, someone bets out strong. He calls with a pair of 3, no heart.

I'm up $13k since June 1st.

Ship it.

5/5 $300 min, 1/2 largest max. It's not just him, even the good regulars are absolutely horrible.

I had one guy, I said all-in on the turn and I had about $370. He called with about $340 in chips. I won the hand, and then pulled out his wallet and tried to give him $40 to cover the difference in chips. The dealer had to tell him that only chips on the table play.

Another hand. I get KTo, I limp on the button. Flop comes 89Qr, and someone bets 15 and gets 3 callers. I call. Turns a J putting a flush draw out there. Someone bets 40, I push all in for $960 effective stacks, and he calls with a bare T.

There are a lot of bad players in vegas that just want to gamble. Just stay away from the places known to have good player like the Bellagio, the Orleans and the Wynn etc.

This is either way, way correct or way, way wrong depending on what your abbreviation of LA is.

When someone said backwater, they weren't far from the truth.
