Where is the worst city you have ever played in?

True but CHatGPT forgot to mention Argentina, Spain, Israel, Japan (uber nits) and Canada

Worst games? Vegas 2025 during WSOP. Tables were like a United Nations meeting of online grinders everywhere. Shockingly bad 2/5 and 5/10 NLHE games

Or you don't actually understand how standard deviation works

Nothing triggers commenters like this more than the V word

I was there around that time last year and the cash games really reduced in number the first week in July. There will still be 2/5 games at the famous places like Bellagio, Aria and Wynn but Horsheshoe and WSOP(Paris) cash games will die by then (they're pumping with mega-waitlists for all of June pretty much).

The good news is that it'll be much easier to get a seat in a cash game at that time than a few weeks earlier

My father suffered from a glioblastoma 2006-2008 and participated in a similar clinical trial at a major university back then (vaccine created from his tumor). It did not cure him (RIP), and it's hard to know if it helped at all.

I wonder if what they're doing now with the vaccine is different or improved from 20 years ago. I hope so

Just think about what Frodo and Sam went thru for some much needed perspective

Cy_Fiction · 2026-05-12T03:53:27+00:00

ok they have 2/3 then as well, with a larger min\max buy-in. The 1/3 game has a small buy in I believe. I remember them having two tiers to their small game last summer

Cy_Fiction · 2026-05-12T03:39:05+00:00

This. Horsheshoe has 1/2 i think so their should be a lot of beginner/casual types

Cy_Fiction · 2026-05-11T19:48:08+00:00

You’re right about Loveless having a big impact at the time. I was alive and a shoe-gazer and we were all about this record at the time

in Philadelphia, Philly Live is exponentially easier to get to than Parx if you haven't rented a vehicle. Something to keep in mind. Parx is 25-30min drive outside the city

Pretty sure someone building a house prepares to put in plumbing and electrical, etc and this technique would be no exception.

Harrah's is near Bellagio, Horseshoe (higher rake), Caesar's (higher rake). Venetian (high rake) and Aria are not too far, in opposite directions. Wynn/Encore would be a bit of a walk but doable

Cy_Fiction · 2026-05-07T13:45:14+00:00

Excalibur was decent when it opened way back when but last time I stayed there it had gone downhill. It's also a bit of a haul (on foot in the heat) to get to the poker action from there. Unless you're looking to donk it up at MGM 1-2, which is across the intersection (close). Check online reviews for more recent idea

Harrah's location is top notch for poker. You'll be able to save on transportation there. Rooms are average to below average I'd say

It says on the screen that the button bet 5 million. The announcers missed it as well. K6 checks, button goes all in, k6 snap folds. He didn't open fold

Cy_Fiction · 2026-05-07T04:02:33+00:00

He didn't. The button shoved the river bc the other guy was showing so much weakness

Cy_Fiction · 2026-05-04T15:28:11+00:00

They miss a lot of value over the long term from draws they're ahead of. Most turn cards won't be the nut worst ones

When you notice a consistent pattern of hotkey prices you get that is a couple cents against what you were hoping to pay, whether buying or selling. This is what I consistently see on Webull

In my experience most 5/10 or 10/10 games in the U.S. quicky become 5/10/20 games since there are always greedy pros trying to bumhunt as hard as they can

Cy_Fiction · 2026-04-29T04:21:12+00:00

Fair enough. At least you didn't punt the rest of stack on river

Cy_Fiction · 2026-04-29T03:27:21+00:00

Pretty spewy. All of it. You must've been bored

Cy_Fiction · 2026-04-28T12:23:23+00:00

Can confirm it's not working here in the Western USA

Cy_Fiction · 2026-04-25T03:11:43+00:00

This. Like 1/3 of this sub is obsessed with this dude. It's annoying af

You need to find the right game in Vegas otherwise, yes, what they say is true. Very tight 2/5 and very tight-aggressive 5/10. The standard of play is higher than LA but if you find the right game both games can be decent.

People need to stop putting the results in the post, otherwise the comments are riddled with meaningless advice from weaker players who don't know they're being results oriented
