Have fun!
If you like food good. If you like I'll find a thread where people recommend places.
Things you have to do:
See a Cirque show?
Rhino?
I don't know anymore. Don't just go on a sick grind the whole time though although the poker rooms are very nice. |

thanks,
I have become a complete autism rain man poker robot over the last 6 months, when i go for a walk i see decision trees in my mind. I'll try do some other things though. I got one 'fun' thing lined up. Thing is I have never really enjoyed leisure activity that much, i get depressed if i do it too often, i like 'working' more, if poker counts as 'work' |

That's cool man. I've been there. There is some fun in grinding it out in luxury especially with all these new information points of playing live. The chips are high quality, the felt is high quality, throwing a stack of hundos in the pot is something all poker players should do at some point, the cocktail waitresses are lovely, the pineapple juice tastes better. I mostly grinded ONLINE when I was in Vegas but I am glad I got to some choice restaurants and saw some Cirque shows. |

kinda hard to play live, its very slow, and It's hard to converse with people who say that internet poker is rigged/u should play the hand this way/you raise too much/you fold too much. |

Oh, naive Stroggoz, those are some standard live conversations
It's best to play higher stakes than what you're used to to make it more interesting. If not, you can imagine decision trees between hands. lawl |

ah yeah i expected that because other internet players tell me what live is like, still doesn't stop it from being like that. Today went a lot better, and i started seeing people's tells a lot more. I wanted to practice at lower first because yes this is my first time playing live and i make basic mistakes.
hand histories and events:
old phil hellmuth type 'pro' wins two buy ins, delcares he is best at table, starts straddling every button.
guy raises to 8bb preflop, everyone folds. He shows 45o. gotta build that table image.
girl to my right says pokerstars pros all stopped playing because algorithm is designed to make the game more gambley. everyone accepts this claim.
netherlands guy calls my 3bet with QQ, flop is 768, i cbet with AK. after the hand he says he was thinking of folding to my cbet. We actually been getting along pretty well, he's been playing every day.
I may be playing some 25/50 at niagra falls in a month or so. apparently it runs that high there.
What do you guys say you do for a living when you play?? Just curious what strategies you use haha |

Lol @ gambley algorithms..
The Canadian side of Niagara Falls? I actually live nearby and play there often. 25/50 never runs, highest game is 5/10 deep that runs friday & sat (only 1-2 tables), 10/20 runs every now and then |

Oh that's true, I also heard that it gets higher during that time. if it does run, the games are very soft , lots of tourists |

i looked up a tipping guide and got this
Quick Tipping Guide
Cocktail Waitresses $1/every drink or two
Dealers $5/hr.
Slot Attendants (hand pays) 0.5% to 1%
Taxi Drivers 15% if they drive safely
so 10 handed, dealers are supposed to get 50 an hour. seems pretty insane. i never tip more than $1 for a pot i win |

another hand. this is 10 handed. regish girl opens utg to 6x. i call with AQs. flop is K53, she looks exicted by the flop. i think this probably means she missed the flop, not sure. she cbets i fold, two old guys next to me both agree she had 33, with 100% certainty. |
