re: Casino fess up stories

i try to plan my cash game play around tournaments b/c the tournament donks love to donate after they get lucky and cash

See now that's what I'm talking about, an admission. And yes we all know that games are good around tournament time.

Ppl that are making ignorant comments don't understand that poker can be beat. That is if you have discipline and don't act like I did last night.

Anyone else with either win or loss stories? Craps is a dangerous game

I only play poker. In my experience the poker room is always non smoking, more quiet, and just a different feel from the rest of the casino.

I don't play any other games at all in a casino. Don't enjoy them.

Is it a 12 step system for winning? I love systems.

Systems are full proof.

The most I've lost in a session was about $500 playing poker. Since I live in south DFW now, I only play at card rooms and not the casinos. Going with a friend to Vegas for the first time in late August and will play some out there. So my story may change then.

I lost 17,000 playing blackjack a few years back.

How is it compared to Harrahs New Orleans? Every time I went there, it seemed like old people with too much money and time just giving it away.

nothing close, from what i've been told by people who have played both that i know irl adn on 2+2

LA-MS plays "big" with lots more gambling.

LV = NIT and more standard (aka smaller) opening, betting, etc

a $15 open in 1-3 here is standard (will even get 3-4 calls often) and in LV that's "AA/KK overbet to gtfo".

I've never lost big at a casino. My first two years of high school were in Las Vegas.

I saw first hand how gambling by parents fricked up some of my friends lives. So I never really cared for gambling.

My friend that I'm going with goes every year for a custom knife convention. He was there 2 yrs ago when a bad beat hit and just by sitting at a table around 9 am, he received $5k. Lucky bastard.
