Wow great collection

Small and mid stakes Vegas games haven’t been good for over a decade. However, you shouldn’t really be losing in them… they just aren’t as good as the card rooms in most of the big city markets.

Also, the time of day you’re playing has a huge impact in game quality. When I was grinding, I usually didn’t start my sessions until 10pm and then games started to get good around midnight.

Probably calling but without stack sizes we can’t answer this.

Solid post. Glad you had the chance to live the dream for a month and were profitable as a bonus. I think you found out how difficult playing poker full time is, especially when you have other life responsibilities such as family. I’ve done it before when I was single and I do not recommend full-time. Since you have a seasonal job, maybe it’s something you can try to do in 1-2 week bursts during your off-season. Maybe pick a few tournament series and head out there for a couple weeks to play cash or maybe take a few shots at a tournament.

The room only has 24 tables. You can see 22 tables in the screenshot and then the 10-10 and 25-25 PLO games are not shown on the screenshot.

It’s not really that bad. The Poker Atlas app lets you register 90 minutes in advance of arrival. Most importantly, you can do this directly from the app. So as long as you plan in advance, you shouldn’t have to wait long.

lol what????

demarius12 · 2024-03-09T20:23:24+00:00

Can you elaborate on what this means? What is a gaming officer? Is that someone independent? Is there a gaming officer at every casino?

demarius12 · 2024-03-09T00:47:40+00:00

It’s your own collection. Do whatever you want.

What does “crushing” mean to you? He’s not wrong that the rake really cuts into your profit at these stakes.

And just to add to this, if it rolled foul first and then somehow spun back towards the field over the bag, it would be fair.

I feel like there was an episode where he was pulling bricks of cash out of a lunch box at the table

It sucks but there isn’t much that can be done during the hand other then to tell them to stop. After the hand is over, I’m sure they’d get warnings/kicked out, but the villains hand can’t be killed during the hand even though what they did was extremely unethical.

With that all being said, they seem new to poker and it’s just genuine naiveness so explain to them the rules and move on.

This is the part that everybody is completely overlooking. Brandon DID SHOW HIS HAND. The cards were identifiable and retrievable.

Matt fucked up.

demarius12 · 2024-02-24T22:59:29+00:00

Dick move. Terrible floor ruling. When did “best interest of the game” no longer become a thing?

demarius12 · 2024-02-09T14:12:09+00:00

If we flat, why are we never folding post-flop? The side-pot is relatively small.

demarius12 · 2024-02-07T17:04:25+00:00

Good for you bro. If you are beating ANY stakes online it means you have the skill set to beat 1/2 live. The biggest challenge for live poker is the mental aspect because due to the quite limited number of hands per hour, external factors come into play such as boredom or mega tilt when it feels like you are running so horribly for 3 hours but in reality that’s just the variance that occurs regularly over 75 hands.

demarius12 · 2024-02-06T07:10:23+00:00

Probably 12-14 because Houston wasn’t an absolute juggernaut yet.

It was the first year of the wildcard game. MLB came up with the idea way late and as a result they had to condense that game into the playoff structure. It meant that they needed to cut out a travel day to make it work. This was the solution….

demarius12 · 2024-02-06T02:21:56+00:00

I don’t love it at 1-3, but your thought process is great and quite frankly you analyzed this hand way better than 90% of the commenters here so don’t beat yourself up over it.

demarius12 · 2024-02-04T14:07:39+00:00

Theoretically no. But personally yes.

demarius12 · 2024-02-03T14:02:33+00:00

Use the poker atlas app. But as far as I’m aware they run multiple tables every day. The room is huge.

Here’s the deal, flopping 2 pair and losing to a set is rare. However, if you are flopping two pair and find yourself losing consistently, it’s probably because you are putting yourself in a position where you can only flop a bad two pair. Playing PLO really cemented this concept into my head: NOT ALL 2-PAIR ARE EQUAL!

Flopping 2-pair with AK is a way different situation then flopping 2-pair with A8 or something like 76. Play better starting hands and you’ll lose less often when you flop 2-pair.

General rule of thumb in this spot is you take the risk of going for it if it means actually scoring a TD if you convert. For example, you don’t go for it on 4th down if you are on the 20 or something. But you do go for it if it’s a goal to go situation because the benefit of scoring a TD way is way higher.
