Re: Bottom pair

I might be out of step, but I actually like the flop raise. You are in late position with what is essentially a drawing hand. Maybe the pot is too small, but on that flop this is not likely that...

Re: Potawanomi Report

I found out that they started to take call ins starting about the beginning of July.

As to cell phones, I second the notion that the stalls in the john make nice phone booths. As to the poker...

Re: Chicago Poker Championship @ Resort\'s East Chicago (Aug 1-14)

I too am curious. Also, for the weekend, do you think the presence of the tournament will make the other games more juicy? Any overflow to the games at Trump? Your speculation would be appreciated...

Re: Bringing a laptop to LV

Depending on the size of the laptop, it might well fit into an in room safe. Mine fits into many of them, but I haven't stayed at MB in many years.

Re: 99 early... flop set to flush board.. comments?

I am new to the SNG's, but does anyone not limp 99 here early in the tournament in early position? I would think it would be a fold or, if you are going to play, a raise to around 45-50.

Re: Vegas Steak Houses

I want to second the thought on the steakhouse in Circus Circus. I went there a couple of years ago on a recommendation from a friend who does a lot of business in LV with the visitors and travelers...

Re: Good Food in Vegas

The last time that I was at the Rio, it actually had two buffets...one the standard and the second a seafood buffet. The seafood buffet, while delicious, was not cheap at over $30 per person for...

Re: Casino visit around Chicago

Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee spreads 2-4 limit. Depending on what part of the Chicago area you are coming from, it might be closer than Resorts or Trump.

Re: Seattle Poker Rooms

Thanks for the reply, but it was a little late. I was there last Wednesday. I thought the tournament would be cutting it a little close, so I sat down at a great 4-8 table. The cards were running...

Re: Seattle Poker Rooms

I have a couple of questions I hope some locals can help me with. First, is the Muck a non-smoking room? Also, how long does the Wednesday 7:15 PM tourney last until generally? (Any chance of...

Re: 55, flopped set, two check-raise attempts, river fold

As it stands, you are getting something like 17.5:1 to call two BBs on the river. Even if CO caps, you only need to win this hand 9% of the time for this to be +EV. While your hand is probably...

Re: Chicago cardrooms?

I don't know about other lodging in the area, but the rooms at Harrah's East Chicago are very nice. Much nicer than those at Harrah's Las Vegas, IMHO.

Re: Chicago cardrooms?

Depending where in the Chicago area you are, (e.g., Northern Suburbs) it might be more convenient to drive north to Milwaukee. The Potawatomi spreads 2-4 and 5-10 games.

Re: ABSOLUTE WORST BAD BEAT ON TOP OF A BAD BEAT?

Given a pair up against two undercards, I think the odds of flopping quads on one of the undercards followed by quads on the pair is one in 8,561,520. There are 12 combinations for the undercards (6...
