visiting vegas

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.

Man that is damn beatiful
Such poetry!
Amen

Thats gordon Ramsay yeah?
I've seen hundreds of hours of his shows :D

Post pictures Stroggos! And how ez it was playin live :D

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.

Hahaha. Is this your first time playing live??? That is how it goes man.

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

I usually tell people I do web development

hmm i was told 5-12th feb it can get that high because of WPT.

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.

never tip the "hot" pizza girls at the pizza place at Aria.
be a pro at finding money on the ground

pretty sure it's 9 handed in vegas?

I was playing 5/10 for the past few months whenever it ran, but it dried up a little ever since they moved the poker room to the old casino. Also played a lot of 2/5 deep there, but i'm trying to focus on online now

Tipping every won pot is too much. I usually tip 1$ for every 40bb+ pots, and more often when I like the dealer.

its pretty common past 2/5 to just tip a dollar a pot you win as long as its the flop or later. And not tip PF unless the pot is huge and they somehow fold. Atleast thats how ive done it. 9 handed at 35 hands an hour that on average is right around 4$ an hour if ur winning ur fair share. Presumably we are doing slightly better than the average person so call it 5$ an hour

Come visit Niagara falls, Ill take you out for the the best breakfast you might have.

alrighty. i know 3 people there now. we could do a big meetup.
