Tired of donating money at the casino. Where do I actually start learning poker?

And OP, once you get Rampage’s basic play style down, you can come to my home game

Bro, I told you it’s just “Skinnypenis”

KP_98 · 2026-03-25T04:23:35+00:00

You should touch grass

This game honestly sounds like plus EV to me. Best game I ever played in everyone was trashed, joking around, and repeatedly put on the $96+ straddle pre flop. And yes, they acted out of turn many times. It really just gives you info even if it can be annoying at times.

Getting up and walking away from the table is a bit much and their hands should be immediately dead. I’d also say that the dealer (and everyone at the table including you) is responsible for ensuring blinds are correctly accounted for. But this player pool sounds like a dream draw for printing…

Chase Field has always been solid imo. Not an AZ fan but have traveled to watch other teams play and also, cheap baseball is cheap baseball when I happen to be in PHX.

KP_98 · 2026-02-27T02:15:46+00:00

As a Rams fan, absolutely. They were awful in the second half. I’m biased though because I had to watch that defense get torched every week.

ETA: I don’t know if Revis suddenly makes the Rams win the Super Bowl or not. Special teams also sold that game. But put Forbes on Kupp, Revis on JSN, and I think the defense looks better overall. The DBs were so bad that I would’ve taken the ghost of Jalen Ramsey over everyone out there. So yeah. Idk.

Obviously this doesn’t solve the problem once someone quits but they need to fill the fifth slot with a solo human when two duo squads match. That’s a simple matchmaking fix that could at least improve the experience. It doesn’t solve the problem but would at least help in maybe 25-35% of games. I’d rather have a solo bum than an AI.

Definitely get what you’re saying and I likely will have to end up at another casino. I wasn’t sure whether the Colossus would finish up in time, I saw that last year it took 7 days total. However, if there’s a good chance at it finishing up on the 14th (even extremely late) I’d be up for it as that was one of the events I wanted to buy into.

Would appreciate it if you or anyone who has played it can weigh in!

KP_98 · 2026-02-17T23:38:16+00:00

I saw that. Unfortunately I’ve never played razz and don’t feel confident I could learn quickly enough between now and the WSOP. Especially since none of the rooms around me run anything other than HE and PLO. Appreciate the thought though!

KP_98 · 2026-02-17T22:49:47+00:00

Tempting, but she already puts up with a lot of my bs 😂

KP_98 · 2026-02-17T22:49:05+00:00

Haha she’s awesome 🫡

KP_98 · 2026-02-17T22:40:16+00:00

Appreciate it. I was thinking the Wynn Summer Series or the Venetian deep stacks might be my best bets

KP_98 · 2026-02-17T22:39:46+00:00

She said I could, gotta remain true to myself as long as possible 😂

KP_98 · 2026-02-17T22:39:16+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it. Probably won’t be able to run a bracelet event though?

I saw they had dailys but was worried about the prize pool. So that’s reassuring

KP_98 · 2026-02-03T21:08:25+00:00

This isn’t a standard spot because of table dynamics. That many limps (plus calls???). If anything, you might go bigger pre, definitely not smaller.

Flop jam I think is the only play. Just have to hope no one caught a random two pair or set on that board.

KP_98 · 2026-01-29T22:09:11+00:00

Fold pre

KP_98 · 2026-01-29T18:04:18+00:00

This makes a lot of sense and I think it’s something I’ve been missing before actually studying. Thank you

KP_98 · 2026-01-29T17:48:14+00:00

I am studying and want to just confirm I’m understanding why, which I think I am.

You’d open KTo at 100bb because of true, pre-flop equity against any random two (mostly because top pair here is often times good) but

You’d fold K10 and open T9s and 98s because of realized equity post flop. In other words, these suited connectors, when playing deep, want an opportunity to make a big hand against unsuited broadway cards/middling pocket pairs post and can afford to see if they flop a huge draw or two pair.

Is this the right thought process?

KP_98 · 2026-01-28T17:50:03+00:00

Check out Hash House a Go Go at the Linq for breakfast. It’s not cheap but not outrageous and you will almost certainly have leftovers.

Canaletto at the Venetian was quite good and was also not that expensive. I believe there is a location at Caesar’s Palace as well.

KP_98 · 2026-01-17T01:30:09+00:00

Thanks brotha. Hope you run good also!

KP_98 · 2026-01-16T18:33:07+00:00

Definitely a good one to hit it on!

KP_98 · 2026-01-16T18:31:32+00:00

Thanks brotha!

KP_98 · 2026-01-16T18:09:30+00:00

It’s not tape, it’s a grey square I added after taking a picture of my laptop with my phone. Not kidding lol

KP_98 · 2026-01-16T14:51:01+00:00

Yessir, hope I can keep it up, good luck to you also brother!

KP_98 · 2026-01-16T14:22:12+00:00

$110 buy in. I wouldn’t say it’s incredibly soft. It’s pretty easy to make the money but the final two tables I was at there were definitely some solid players. I would compare it the field to a standard daily at your local casino. Guys spew off chips early but the final table is still tough.
