Re: This is a very important post for me...
I think this sounds like a terrible idea. If you don't like your living arrangement, change it. Getting back into college after taking time off is tougher than you might think.

Re: All time money list.
These lists are a waste of time, because they don't deduct the buy-ins for all the tournaments (nor could they, because no one knows who is buying in for what). To give one example, Negreanu must...

Re: It\'s 20 bucks....
Again, Greyhound is $30 round trip, and you get $17-20 back from the casino when you arrive. The tickets are a 4-day open return (i.e., you can go back on any bus within 4 days of your arrival). ...

Re: trains from nyc to ac
Amtrak to Philly is more like $110 round trip. You can take NJT/Septa to Philly, but that will make the trip to AC more like 4-5 hrs.

Re: trains from nyc to ac
You'd have to take a train to Philly and then a train from Philly to AC on NJ transit. It would take longer and cost more than a bus ride.

Re: vegas weather in january/february
I got real lucky in early February one year. It was in the 80s every day.
I did some weather research, and I think it was late Jan/early Feb 2003. Those were record hot days.

Re: AC Limit game suggestions?
I reload if I lose a large chunk of my stack. My point is that a 15BB buyin will cover any action you can expect to see in the course of a hand.

Re: AC Limit game suggestions?
You've got to be comfortable losing 50BB at whatever limit you play. If you want 10-20 or higher, you'll need to go to the Taj or Borgata. I buy into a 10-20 game with $300.

Re: What\'s the deal with 20/40??
Aggressive games are tougher than passive games. I've played in both 10-20 and 20-40 games, and in my opinion, people wrongly equate loose aggressive play with soft games. Loose passive games are...

Re: 40/80 JJJ. Can I fold? Please?
Your hand only has to be good one time out of eight to make calling this down +EV. Seems like an easy call to me. He could have 88, AJs, AKd, AQd, KQd, or even 10d-9d.

I think sitting with $250 is fine in those games. You will find plenty of horrible play, anyone with a decent amount of discipline should be able to beat that game.

Re: 20/40 @ the Borg
I'd just release this on the flop. Between the raiser and the caller, someone has you beat. Since you decided to check-raise, you've got to follow through with a bet on the turn.

I will never participate in the time pots in the 20-40 game. In my experience they almost always kill the action. I will always post my own time. If a couple other people also start refusing to...

Re: 10/20 at the Taj
10-20 isn't small stakes. You didn't post the suits. I think raising with A3o is really bad, and I assume you had A3o.
When it is three-bet and called by the big blind preflop, you are in big...

Re: 20/40 vs 10/20 in AC
The 20-40 game is not softer. It is beatable, but there are more better players at 20-40 than 10-20. People talk about the 2-chip 4-chip structure generating more action, but there are so many...

Not even close to worst decision ever. Cards never leave my hand until I have a pot. Leave the showmanship to others.

Re: Borgata other than Hold Em\' ?
The only Omaha 8/B I've seen is 80-160. They generally have one table of 15-30-45 stud, and I think they sometimes spread one table of 10-20-30 stud. But if you are looking for stud, go to the Taj.
