What do you base your claim on?

Even the $4/$8 game's in Vegas can make your bankroll drop 50BB in a bad 2-hour session. If you don't mind busting out in the first couple hours - go for the $10/$20, just leave yourself enough for food and cab fare.

Good luck.

I'll tell you why,

You see the other day im playing on Full Tilt, and guses who sits down at my table? Howard Lederder(sp).

Since Howard usually plays the higher limits when he sits down at the lower limits (5/10) he is a little more agreesive than usual.

Well in one hand howard raises 3x BB everyone folds. I call The flop is rags he bets again.

I then type

"Hold on Howard, I need to look at my Howard Leadeder Secret to NL Holdem Chart"

I raise...He reraises me like im some kind of tourist. and i reraise him again.

He pauses. he folds. I win the pot. He ask's me

Did you have it? I replied Sorry Howard, I don't remember.

I sat with one of the best and won. Thats how i know i can beat the 10/20 at the Bellagio. So I'm gonna take my 1 stack of low society and go to vegas. Some say its a pipe dream. But i know it aint.

Then you should just find a game where the big blind is 1K. Post your whole roll in the cutoff and never look back.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

The phrase "1 stack of low society" redeems it enough for me.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

That reminds me.....

I haven't seen "Rounders" for a while! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

no, but it is that non-existent.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

The Bellagio spreads 8/16 and 15/30 is the point that others are making.

If you feel like seeing alot of the free shows and walking around on the strip, go ahead and play any game that you want to. If you want to play poker for the rest of your trip you should either bring alot more money or play real tight at the 4/8 game. $1K and any red chip is just asking to get broke.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

FWIW, I did laugh when I read it. lol. I think he set this whole thread up just to make that post.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

Bellagio does have 10/20 NL.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

I thought it was funny.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

This was the funniest thread I've read for a while. Keep it up Blux.

Good luck at the Bellagio.

Oh... and I do really hope that this post was a joke.

It is also usually the only NL game they have going. Not to mention it is unlimited buy-in. Not a game I would be just messing around with for 1k. I would play their lower buy in NL or 4/8 or something lower.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

its not lame its hilarious and blux basically just told everyone to [censored] off like a tru playa.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

you guys need to lighten abit and go watch rounders again


have fun at the bellagio, ill be there over new years

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

Here's my 2 plus 2 cents:

If you know you can beat the 10/20 (that is, if it exists), then start a warm-up at the 4/8 or another lower table. Play until you make $1,000, then go blow it on a higher table. Then go back to grinding it out to pay your rent and alimony.

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

I have a video of me beating Reggie Love and Chris Duhon in 5 on 2 basketball. They agreed to do it as a favor for my college comedy group.

Anyway, I gotta stop typing so I can pack...I have an early flight out to Bulls try-outs.

I played with the best and won, didn't I?

Re: Money Management In Vegas
 

Why is it that 3/4 of the people in this thread dont get a joke?

Great Post!

I'm putting my money on blux to crush the $10/$20. (I think he just suckered in many posters in believing this is for real when it is straight out of Rounders!)
