Spent saturday nite thru monday afternoon there.
This was my first trip ever to a casino to play poker. Now rembering that im just a dumb ole hick, I was thouroughly impressed. But then that wore off and I thought everything just a tad on the TACKY side.
Everything here pertains to limit. I try to ignore that bastard child of poker called bad limit, no limit, or something or other.
Almost always a 2/4 game going. Usually a 3/6 game going. Rarely a 5/10. I got to play about 10 hands of 5/10 b4 the table broke up. That sucked.
The players. Oh my god the players. Unbelievably awful. You got people who dont know how to bet, dont know the rank of hands, and the ones that do know arent very good. I think I ran into 2 players total who I thought were very dangerous. And im still not sure about 1 of em.
You got players so drunk they are barely concious. One guy passed out at the table and bonked his head into his chips and the table. Clunk !! effing hilarious.
So I got a pr o' cowboys in the hole. I come out bettin and dont stop. I get no opposition until the river when some drunk slut, comes over the top o me on the river. Showdown: she shows A high nothin!
Now im playin very tight and the ones that arent 99% blood alcohol content are very aware of it. I raise preflop and still get 6 callers. wow nice
Now mid morning is a little different. UTG with KQo. I limp, 3 callers, sb and bb are in too. I pull the ole preflop limp/reraise (please, no flaming) and all fold but one! hehe. I completely whiff the flop, bet and the last one folds. I like casino poker.
I only made 100 $ total. Its like the micro limits on the net. Bad beats galore. Some play every hand. Even at 3/6 !!!!!!
When room is crowded good luck gettin a drink. Not much better when not crowded. But at 4 am u can get one hell of a ham and cheese sandwich, which is really a hoagie, that includes cole slaw, grapes, and chips for 8 bucks. Not bad. It was tastey.
Dont eat at the restaurants in the casino. They cost about 100 per head even for bfast and i aint kiddin! I did finally find a mickey d within walking distanc.
Why such low stakes? 3/6 the highest game? that sucks.
And a 10% rake and tipping the dealer and the waitress. Hell i can do much better than that online thankyou very much.
But had one hell of a good time.
See ya there!
